Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario 3D Land

Tuesday, November 15, 2011 No Comments

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 [...]

Kirby Mass Attack

Monday, October 24, 2011 No Comments

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 [...]

Star Fox 64 3D

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. And with its updated graphics, the 3D (which looked pretty good), solid controls, and Slippy’s annoying voice (which I’m glad they kept, if not [...]

Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World

Thursday, September 8, 2011 1 Comment

It’s not quite sufficient to say that Spy Kids 4 is a bad video game because that doesn’t really take into account the younger demographic for which the game was constructed. “Constructed”, because it feels slapped together. The level menus are strangely coded, there are many sluggish graphical points, save points are only between levels [...]

Aside from playing with Brazilian Dan, I rarely partake in playing sports whether on the field or in video game form. For that reason, it’s difficult for me to review a sports game, but I’ll try my darndest. Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D has very sharp graphics (for a handheld game), the 3D actually looks [...]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Friday, June 24, 2011 1 Comment

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 [...]

Super Scribblenauts

Friday, October 22, 2010 No Comments

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. The added value for these [...]

Pokémon SoulSilver Version

Monday, April 12, 2010 4 Comments

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 [...]
