A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Fore Score and 14 Years Ago – I missed out on Mario Golf for the Gameboy Color back when it was first released in 1999; I was more of Mario Tennis kind of guy at the time. But thanks to the August 2013 Club Nintendo program and the 3DS Virtual Console, I was given the […]
Go Smurf Yourself – Like most movie-based tie-ins, Smurfs 2 is nothing more than a marketing tool that will earn blind sales from ignorant parents looking to purchase a new non-violent game for their youngster. In short, this game is one heaping pile of Smurf. Gameplay is like a watered down Donkey Kong Country Returns […]
Some of the Best Games in the Last 25 Years in One Package – The Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection is one of the best, if not THE best, compilation package in videogame history. For most gamers, this bundle will be a double dip of sorts but newcomers couldn’t really ask for anything better. Oh […]

Solve Problems With Punches – In the early 90’s the brawler genre dominated arcades and home consoles but as gameplay evolved this “punch-everything-and-walk-to-the-right” type of game gave way to First Person Shooters and RPGs.

Up, Up, and Away – Back in early 2010, Nintendo developed and published Aura-Aura Climber to the under-utilized DSiWare service. This grapple-point platformer has players aiming for the stars in this two-dollar, or 100 Club Nintendo Coin (July 2013), 3DS eShop download. The simple and straightforward gameplay is quickly explained in the opening tutorial level. […]

Close This Open – Known for being over-the-top with super powers, quirky characters, and interactive courts, the Mario Tennis series has always been about colorful and wired gameplay.
