Review: Stick it to the Man (Wii U)
Your day starts out like any other: another long, boring and seemingly endless day at the hard hat testing company. The hours stretch on and on across a figurative distance so great that only a literal mathematician could compute them. Each unending stretch of hours is punctuated only by the cranial blunt force trauma you willingly endure for a meager salary. Finally, a whistle’s shrill tone...[Read More]
Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition Unboxing
While I admit I do enjoy a good unboxing, it seems that many people in other regions have obtained Mario Kart 8 early. Sadly I guess that some people in the US other than press have a copy as well.

Review: Child of Light (Wii U)
When I was a child, I believed in magic. There were dragons that lived in concealed caves beneath the tightly packed soil of my backyard, and an ancient crone enchantress that lived in the house across the street. She was a quiet, reclusive sort of witch and I felt it was my duty to keep any other children in my neighborhood away from her front stoop, lest they be turned into some creepy crawly cr...[Read More]
