Injustice: Gods Among Us Review
A few years ago NetherRealm Studios put out Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe to mixed results. Since the title featured DC Characters, many hoped that it would feel like an interesting experimental hybrid of a fighting game, but sadly it turned out feeling more like a Mortal Kombat game with DC Character skins. Fast foward years [...]
Top 10 Gaming Trends That Need to Die
We are nearing the end of an era. The current generation of consoles is on its way out. They brought a lot of joy to an immense number of people, but along with that joy they also introduced some new trends I’d like to see retired with with the consoles. Most are too profitable to be retired and [...]
Why I Hate Modern Gaming
I was born in the 80′s. I was there when Atari had an abomination of a blinking “Pac-Man” game. I was there when Nintendo saved the video game industry as we know it today and I was there when Nintendo had a “seal of quality” that meant something. As it stands right now I am [...]
Aliens: Colonial Marines Review
Now, I am not a man of God. But if I were, I would believe that he was punishing the Aliens fans that actually care about the franchise and want it to succeed. Damn near every Aliens game ever released has been incredibly average at best, and never truly did the franchise justice. When I [...]
Top 5 Mario Games You Never Knew Existed
If Nintendo has any say in it, gamers from future generations will never grow up in a world without Mario. He’s simply too iconic a figurehead to ever retire.

Another adventure is Wasteland was begging to happen. Whether or not you liked Epic Mickey’s gameplay, it’s [...]

ZombiU Review
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting ZombiU to amount to much. When I first saw the trailer for it, I thought it looked nice, but that it also looked like it was trying too hard to come off as a “killer app” for the Wii U that utilized all of its features at the cost of gameplay. [...]

Nintendo Land Review
I hate mini-games. Maybe it’s over my depression that started when I had my pre-teen ego handed to me when I received the original Mario Party for Christmas or it’s because I’ve simply never had enough cool friends to make the concept of “party games” enjoyable, but I’ve never been able to stand them. Besides [...]
