Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!! Review
Platforms: DS and 3DS (reviewed) When I was a kid, I used to love watching video game related shows, no matter their quality. Looking back (and even going back and watching some of them), most of them were pretty terrible, relying heavily on being referential to the licenses they were based on. The show Adventure […]
Kirby’s Dream Collection Review
What better way to close out a week dedicated to Kirby’s twentieth anniversary than to go over a compilation dedicated to just that subject? No, seriously. I couldn’t think of much else. Unless you can read Japanese and have access to the Nintendo archives that are locked up nearly as tight as Fort Knox, there’s only […]

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. […]

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 […]
