I have waited a long time to review this game. As many of my readers know, I’ve been a gamer for most of my life. When I was a young boy, I cut my teeth on a variety of arcade classics. But it was the Nintendo Entertainment System that really ignited my obsession with gaming. I played nearly every NES...
So far in this generational backlog I’ve reviewed titles from the GameCube, Xbox, and Playstation 2. All of these are great home gaming systems. But I would be amiss if I neglected to give some attention to the handheld scene. Of course, the big handheld system at the turn of the century was the Game Boy Advance. It was small...
I know that the site has been focused on other things lately, but I wanted to take a step to the side for a moment to provide my review of Nintendo’s latest sandbox craze; Super Mario Maker. So what is this title? Is it a toolkit, a game, or both? The answer: both – and it is glorious. If you...
Just in time to end the month, here’s my review for the second half of the Wii U bundle, Bayonetta 2. This game is a prime example of a true-sequel if I’ve ever seen one.

(Very sexy witches.) I figure that’s close enough to count. For this review, I played the new Wii U version of Bayonetta. This game...
Finally, the first Halloween review is here! We start off with ZombiU. This a title that has intrigued me for a while. I grabbed this back when the Wii U was released but I never got around to playing it until now. First, let me start by saying that I really had no idea what this game was actually going...
Well, I’ve had some time now to sit down and really dig into the depths of the Wii U. Overall, the verdict is still out. But let me begin with some of the first things I have noticed thus far. First, the controller. I was very skeptical about the design on the new control pad. It looks bulky and impractical....
This Christmas, my son will unwrap a brand-spanking new Wii U. He has absolutely no clue he will getting one. For those of you not in the know, the Wii U is Nintendo’s successor to the highly popular Wii. It is backwards compatible with Wii games and controllers and will also retain Virtual Console functionality. Aside from a nice upgrade...
