Your gaming home away from home!
Another “Revisited” post this week I’m afraid. I’m hopeful things will have settled down enough for me to resume normal posts next week, but we’ll see. For now though, let’s talk some more about how some games require a measure of patience and what happens when it’s in too short of supply. I remember coming…
Up this week: Kirby Super Star (SNES, 1996) – it’s eight games in one in this classic collection featuring everyone’s favorite round, pink alien…Kirby! Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii, 2009) – it’s Samus vs. Space Pirates vs. the Phazon Corruption vs. herself in this series’ thrilling conclusion Nostalgic Notions (multiple consoles) – our periodic feature…

While the game appeared to spell out its different modes of play, when entering the game for the first time, things weren’t as clear as they seemed. Going online to figure…
Super Mario World was the Mario game that I grew up with. Though it took many years before I was ever able to actually beat it myself, I still looked back on it with (mostly) fond memories, as a symbol of my childhood, alongside such classics as Donkey Kong Country and The Legend of Zelda:…
The following is a re-post of a piece from last year. Now that BioWare has finally admitted that the game needs a major overhaul and is going back to the drawing board, I felt it was important to remember that it was their attitude and approach that made this mess in the first place. I’ve…
