Ah Mario, who doesn’t love you? It’s the one franchise that most gamers and even non-gamers can agree on.

My Favorite (Major) Releases Of 2013
Even though 2014 is upon us, why not take a step back from and have one final look back at 2013. This year is going to get pretty busy with new releases soon enough, so the time is right. 2013 was an interesting year from a reporting standpoint as it marked a transition between the…

I’ve already discussed the Wii U, and now I will be going over my thoughts on the successor to the XBox 360, the XBox One (they need to get their numbers straight). I heard a lot of rumors about things Microsoft was planning to do, such as requiring people to connect to the Internet in…
What Does Nostalgia Do To Your Games?
