Kirby in 3D(S)!
WRITTEN BY SCOTT ROMERO Kirby’s Dream Land Platforms: GameBoy (1992), 3DS Virtual Console (2011) Price: $3.99 Dream Land is Kirby’s very first outing and just so happened to be on Nintendo’s first handheld console as well. The gameplay is mostly what you would expect in a 2D platformer of the early 90s, along with a few additional features. The two most notable features are Kirby’s […]
Not Your Grandma’s Crocheting Material
To say I was a little apprehensive about Kirby’s Epic Yarn would be making it sound like I had any interest in this game to begin with. As I would look through stores searching for a bargain that wasn’t in the ads, I would always pass right over certain games. Epic Yarn somehow got lumped […]
The Strange World of Kirby Commercials
Kirby has the ability to suck in enemies and copy their abilities, making him able to adapt to situations as the need requires. That fact seems to not have been lost on Nintendo themselves in their ad campaigns for the cream puff, as commercials for the same game can vary from Japan to United States. […]
Fortune Favors the Bold and Death Favors the Dumb
26 June 2015 – Guadalajara, Mexico I sent my team to stop alien abductions in a city I can barely pronounce. Fairly straightforward operation – touch down, wipe out the aliens, head back to base. Colonel Ruben “Richter” Marquez and Major Zahara “Pox” Manana took shots and were out of service for a few days. […]
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Ravnica DLC Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed), iOS When I reviewed Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 earlier this summer I speculated that there might be some DLC coming out that would involve Return to Ravnica (an upcoming set in the trading card game). I’m happy to say that this has […]

Rock Band Blitz Review
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed) I’m a sucker for music games and Rock Band has long been my game of choice, but to say I was skeptical about Rock Band Blitz would be quite the understatement. Luckily, Blitz turns out to be a great game, but how much enjoyment you’ll get out of it […]
Dust: An Elysian Tail Review
Platforms: XBLA (reviewed), Microsoft Windows, Linux, OS X, PlayStation 4, iOS Dust: An Elysian Tail has been in development for some time now. It was originally designed to be released on the indie games section of Xbox Live, but ended up winning Microsoft’s Dream. Build. Play Challenge back in 2009. This victory won the game […]
The Last Story Review
Platform: Wii I’ve been rather eagerly anticipating Mistwalker’s The Last Story since last year. Between hearing about it on multiple podcasts (8-4 Play, I lay the blame mostly on you) and seeing impressions of it from importers, Mistwalker’s latest effort had me wanting to dust off my Wii for well over a year. Thanks to […]
Sound Shapes Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 (reviewed), PlayStation Vita (reviewed) Sound Shapes is an interesting take on the rhythm game. Instead of matching notes on a plastic instrument you’ll be platforming through various levels grabbing coins and collectibles in order to change the music. In a way, it is a bit like the Bit Trip Runner […]
