Review: Sonic the fighters (XBLA)
A number of gamers love the classics from Mario, Banjo Kazooie, Pacman, and Sonic. Games that feature characters from these games are normally an easy sell. Sometimes the games are remade or changed; the remakes or changed games can vary on if they are good or horrible. Sonic the Fighters is a game that takes Sonic and other characters and changed it into a fighting game. Is this game good or horr...[Read More]
Review: God Mode (XBLA)
When it comes to shooters, I’m a huge fan! Now, I want you to sit back and think of a game in which you and four friends team up against the onslaught of Hell. What’s the goal? Simply kill the waves of enemies and get the next area, which may or may not be a boss. Anyways, recently Atlus released the game God Mode on Xbox Live and I’ve been putting in a lot of time with friends. ...[Read More]
Review: I AM MT: Card Battle (iOS)
One of my favorite pastimes in high school was to play Yu-gi-oh and Magic: The Gathering; I would often spend my weekends playing in tournaments. When I was told of I AM MT and that it was a huge hit in Japan, my interest was piqued. I often put game on my phone to play while I’m on the go or sitting in a boring class, but usually delete most of the games from boredom or never playing them....[Read More]

Review: Clash of Elementalists (3DS)
Every once in a while, a new game comes out that tries something interesting. And sometimes, that results in something amazing. But it often results in something awful. Which does the DSiware game Clash of Elementalists fall under?
Book Review: Doctor Who
Recently, BBC released three brand new novels based on its incredibly popular franchise, Doctor Who. I could have easily reviewed each book from Broadway Paperbacks separately, but there is a reason all three are being reviewed together. We have three different novels, and they are:
Review: Iron Man 3
After the success of the Avengers movie, it’s been a big question: can solo films of these characters match the success of that movie? Let’s take a look at the latest in Tony Stark’s adventures and see. Tony Stark is in a bad place mentally, dealing the traumatic event he went through alongside the Avengers.

Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS)
When someone says the name “Donkey Kong” to you, what do you think of? The first words that pop into my head are “barrels”, “bananas”, and “HOLY CRAP…HARDEST GAME EVER”. That last little bit probably popped into your head too if you ever played the original Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii. Not only was it a fun little platformer with adorable enemies, but it is probably one of the har...[Read More]
Review: Mystery Murders: Jack the Ripper (3DS)
I love anything that has a good mystery, but one of the most notorious mysteries is the story of Jack the Ripper. When I was informed that I would be able to play the Mystery Murders game for Jack the Ripper, recently released in Nintendo eShop for the 3DS, I became excited!
Review: Dead or Alive 5 Plus (Vita)
Fighting games always make me feel like an old man. Not because I’m outclassed online more often than not, although that’s true, but because it reminds me of starting out with the original Street Fighter arcade game and the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat. There have been countless iterations on various franchises since those salad days, and I am always surprised by just how great the Dead or Ali...[Read More]
Review: Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge (PS3)
When I look at Ninja Gaiden over the last few years, I can’t help but think about how the mighty have fallen. When Ninja Gaiden 3 was released at the end of last year, it met with rather scathing reviews, and for good reason. It was an atrocious game, especially considering the pedigree of the series. The controls were almost Resident Evil clunky, and the difficulty, which is what made Ninja Gaide...[Read More]
Review: Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo (3DS)
When I was first told about Super Little Acorn 3D Turbo, I immediately looked up a video like I normally do. I did not care for what I saw and passed on the game, thinking it was too easy and childish. A couple of weeks later I decided to give the game a chance; what could it hurt? I started to download it from the Nintendo eShop; the download was pretty quick! This caused me to think even more th...[Read More]
