Overall, Super Mario 3D Land is an abundantly entertaining game with many creatively designed stages, enjoyable gameplay, amply implemented 3D, and colorfully brisk graphics. However, though some of the levels posed a challenge, their difficulty was rendered completely moot due to how many extra lives I was able to accumulate. By the end of the [...]

Take Kirby, divide him by 10 and the fun factor is multiplied by 100. Trust me, I did the math – it works out. I don’t know how, but it does! It’s like Sheldon’s trains on The Big Bang Theory! Kirby Mass Attack removes the awesome pink puff’s powers, but throws in the accumulated strength of [...]

A new installment in the Star Fox franchise would’ve been nice, but it being a game I so much enjoyed on Nintendo 64, Star Fox 64 3D will do just nice.

Being one of the best games of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a must buy if you own a 3DS. The updated artwork looks great, the menu system has been programmed to the touch screen to make item selection easy-peasy, and, alongside the amazing main quest, there’s a bunch [...]

A very wise roommate of mine once said, “Scribblenauts is one of the most original, interesting puzzle games you’ve ever played – for 5 minutes.” It seems the same is true for the enterprising sequel, Super Scribblenauts, which allows the player to integrate up to 2 adjectives into their object-creating madness. The premise of the [...]

Let’s face it: as a gamer, you have an obligation to play at least one Pokémon game in your life. As we wait for the impending release of Pokémon White/Black in the upcoming year, journey back to the Johto region with these revamped versions of the Game Boy Colour classics.

Having not played Pokémon since the original Red and Blue versions, I had hopes for a whole new Pokémon experience when I started to play Pokémon SoulSilver Version. Unfortunately, aside from the updated graphics, a few new Pokémon and a handful other gimmicks (like having a cell phone, which is really strange mind you), this [...]
