New Super Mario Bros. 2 [ Review ]Mario has been Nintendo’s mascot and trusty cash cow since virtually his introduction. With games and merchandise in the dozens, Nintendo has been milking the Mario franchise for all its worth, and with fan reactions being as it was – and in fact gaining new fans with each release – this approach does not show any signs of slowing down.
Mario and its beloved cast of characters have also been around the block in its several decades of existence, whether it be in racing, playing tennis, or fooling around with each other in a variety of quirky party games. [ ...More ]

E3 2012 Report Card: Nintendo (New Super Mario Bros. and Mass Effect!)Pikmin are all around us
Who is the most important person at Nintendo? Shigeru Miyamoto. Not only is he the mind behind gaming's greatest franchises such as Super Mario and Zelda, but Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the key people responsible saving the industry from the video game crash of 1983. Miyamoto is a bonafide video gaming legend. Starting their show with him was probably the best way to go about it. It got the crowd excited, it got me excited (...), and it got all the Nintendo fans frothing out the mouth, for sure.
The video in question showed Mr. [ ...More ]

Super Mario 3D Land [ Review ]This year, the Mario series entered into a phase of its evolution wherein its 2D and 3D worlds were bolted into one gigantic adventure with Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS. Players now have the chance to transfer from pseudo-3D level interactions to 2D side-scrolling. Although it might not introduce its fanatics to a truly authentic 2D/3D combination, Super Mario 3D Land is a fresh and gripping experience that arrives in fine form.
More players are still at a loss if the marriage is possible, but Nintendo has made it clear and have shown that this clever concept is possible. [ ...More ]

Mario Super Sluggers: The Basics [ Guide ]In Mario Super Sluggers, you can utilize four basic pitches. It is essential for a player to have more than one type of pitch to be unpredictable against the opponent. It starts with the Normal Pitch wherein the ball is thrown quickly without charging. In the Charge Pitch, you have to first pull back before throwing the ball when the two circles overlap. The third option is the Star Pitch, which is done by holding A+B as you are pitching, while the Changeup can be performed by holding A whilst pitching.
You must learn to employ deception by conditioning your opponent [ ...More ]

WRC FIA World Rally Championships 3 [ Review ]The world of rallying is perhaps one of the more intriguing types of motorsport on the planet as competitors are required to be familiar with a myriad of driving surfaces and conditions, as well as almost always being faced with the daunting task of driving through relatively unknown terrain, which is why the driver is never without the navigator. There have been rally racing games in the past, including those that bear the name of the late great Colin McRae. The latest WRC title continues the tradition of realistic rally racing in video game format.
Driving is perhaps something intuitive to [ ...More ]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star [ Preview ]Fans of the RPG Paper Mario series would probably say that there’s nothing that hasn’t been seen before with this new installment, titled Sticker Star. After three games in the franchise, what more is there to feature? However, playing the game lets players see that much more could be expected from this adventure featuring the Nintendo icon.
For one, battles have been revamped in such a way that attacks and other commands come in the form of, as the title implies, stickers. These stickers can be compiled just like you would in the olden days, and you can consume them as [ ...More ]

The Secret World [ Review ]Everybody loves a game with a good back story. Unfortunately, most games, specifically RPGs and MMOs, focus more on graphics and combat rather than a plot that can enthrall gamers along with the experience. Thus, Funcom’s The Secret World can be considered as a breath of fresh air in an otherwise saturated world of elves, wizards, and the lore of fantasy and mysticism.
Imagine a world where every significant event in history, every historical society, as well as everything that we have perceived to be imagined, are connected, and that there are goings on under the modern world that regular people [ ...More ]

Super Smash Bros. 4 WishlistSuper Smash Bros. started on the Nintendo 64 and was an instant hit. It was a brilliant move to take some of the most famous and popular Nintendo characters and throw them into a fighting game together. Smash Bros. became a system seller, and would prove this fact when millions of gamers went out and bought a GameCube for the sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and for the third game in the series, Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Nintendo Wii.
We get a new Smash Bros. game every generation, with only one game released for each system. [ ...More ]

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes [ Preview ]I've had a love/hate relationship with the LEGO games. I found the original LEGO Star Wars a blast, the second one a disappointment, and I thought the Indiana Jones games were just okay. Harry Potter's attempt at a LEGO game bored the hell out of me, and so, it's really been all over the place. Nevertheless, I've played the demo for LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on the Nintendo 3DS, and I just have to say that I came away impressed and excited to get my hands on this game in the coming weeks.

E3 2012: Nintendo 3DS (Mario and Pokemon!)Following a humorous introduction by Reggie Fils-Aime, Scott Moffit took the stage. This gentleman showed up at the Nintendo press conference on Tuesday, being the main presenter for the 3DS. It was there that this extra conference was announced, which has time set out to focus entirely on Nintendo's eighth generation handheld system, the 3DS.
Reflection
The first revealed was a third-party offering that fans of the original DS should be absolutely excited for. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate was shown off a lot more extensively during this conference, and my god, it looks absolutely phenomenal. [ ...More ]

Mario Kart 7 (3DS) [ Review ]The release of a new Nintendo platform means a lot of things, including a new Mario Kart game to enjoy it.

Super Cyclone (iOS) [ Review ]Whenever another twin stick shooter comes to the App Store, customers might either sigh in exasperation or just feel a bit excited since twin stick shooters are always exciting in gameplay. This game called Super Cyclone is another addition to the genre, and it does have a few things that make it a bit unique.

Another World - 20th Anniversary (iOS) [ Review ]Perhaps not a lot of people have owned an Amiga during the 90's, but those who did may have had the good fortune of playing Another World, which is now seen as a classic game nowadays. When it was released in 1991 as Out of This World in North America and Outer World in Japan, it was able to sell a million copies due to various reasons. The cinematic effects and cutscenes were beyond what was thought to be possible during that time.
This 20th anniversary edition has been released for the iOS, catering to both fans who are looking for [ ...More ]

Captain America: Super Soldier [ Review ]I'll be honest; I've been on kind of a comic book kick lately. With multi-million dollar blockbusters based on superhero franchises released every summer, breaking records at the box office in the process, it seems that I'm not alone in that regard. Films like X-Men and Spider-Man popularized the sudden resurgence of comic books being very prevalent and relevant in today's pop culture, and films like Iron Man and The Dark Knight have only solidified the legacy of America's favorite heroes on the silver screen. And with every superhero film, there needs to be a companion game, so says Sega.

Captain America: Super Soldier FAQ/Walkthrough [ Guide ]Captain America: Super Soldier
Written by Dalton "horror_spooky" Cooper
Copyright 2011 Dalton Cooper
Marvel is the master of the superhero movie. The genre was considered long-dead
after a multitude of flops in the 90s, but with the highly successful films
like X-Men and Spider-Man, Marvel managed to make superheroes relevant again in
today's film industry. They are currently planning a massive Avengers film, and
as a result, they have started building the team by giving them their own
films so the audience can become acquainted with the characters. Iron Man,
Thor, and The Incredible Hulk have all made it to the big screen. Captain

Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega New Climax [ Review ]About two years ago in Japan, you would be looked at with surprise if you were playing Half-Minute Hero instead of Monster Hunter. The former is an unusual RPG game on PSP that has, what at first looks like, a primitive 8-bit art style; the latter is a hugely popular gaming franchise in Japan. Yet the quirky and original concept of Half-Minute Hero was a big hit in Japan, and the game has since gained a cult following outside the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. Now, Half-Minute Hero is back and in high definition on the Xbox 360. [ ...More ]

Virtua Tennis 4 - Super Shot Tips [ Guide ]Playing to your character's strength is the best technique to fill up the Super Shot meter in Virtua Tennis 4. For instance, if you are Andy Murray, the backhand would be your best shot. File up as many backhand shots as you can to fill up the meter in the soonest possible time. Remember that all players in the game have their own inherent strength. Look for ways on how to play as them by exploring and experimenting on your moves. However, do not depend on their strength all the time. Your opponent will easily notice what you are doing. [ ...More ]
