Video Game Review: Kirby’s Dream Collection
It’s a little surreal to think that I’m only two years older than Kirby.

It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s Wii U
E3 is long behind us, and while it left more questions than answers on Nintendo’s new console debut, the Wii U, the Big N has been quite mum on any details since.

Video Game Review: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)
“New Super Mario Bros. 2” for the 3DS is an interesting title. As a flagship for Nintendo’s current digital offerings it makes sense: it’s the first game to be offered both as a download and at retail stores, so why not start with a traditional Mario platformer? But the only problem is this one relies more on tradition than substance, struggling to be different from its predecessors while falling short.

Video Games: Nintendo 3DS XL Review
Just more than a year after the release of the 3DS, Nintendo is rolling out a newer version of the handheld, raising more questions than answers. Did we really need a bigger 3DS? Is it enough of an upgrade to buy another 3DS this soon? And, perhaps most importantly, where am I going to find screen protectors this large?

VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Heroes of Ruin (3DS)
"Heroes of Ruin" is a gem of a game. In the same dungeon stomping tradition of games such as "Gauntlet" and "Diablo," "Heroes of Ruin" is an original IP hack and slash dungeon crawler adventure. The game's main claim to fame is by large its technical achievements: n-Space set out to make a full fledge […]

VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Pokemon Conquest (DS)
When it comes to Pokemon spin-off games, I'm usually wary. Some of them, like "Pokemon Snap" or Pokemon Pinball," made great uses of the license, while others, especially more recently, have fallen into the avoid-at-all-costs category. But then, a wild "Pokemon Conquest" appeared. The game, a crossover between the Pokemon series and strategy series "Nobunaga's […]

E3 2012 Blog, Day 2: Nintendo Conference (“Pikmin 3,” “Nintendo Land,” “Epic Mickey 2″
All Nintendo had to do was get up and wow us. Given that it is launching a new console this year, the Big N has me worried. Compare this E3 presentation to Nintendo’s pre-launch conference for the 3DS and the difference is night and day. The 3DS had a slew of titles from first- and […]

E3 2012 BLOG, Day 1: Sony Conference
Following what I considered a lackluster showing from Microsoft, Sony at least came to E3 a little more prepared. The company may not have shown off as much or as many different non-gaming ideas as Microsoft did, but what was shown was certainly more impressive. Taking a bold risk that paid off, Sony opened the […]

E3 2012 Day 1: Microsoft Conference
Microsoft didn't start the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo (a.k.a. E3) on quite the note I had hoped. I feel like I could have guessed my way through the company's entire conference. It didn't really throw any surprise punches, though there were a few big game announcements nonetheless. There was a big focus on multimedia this […]
