"Every time Nintendo releases a new chapter in the mustache-sporting plumbers ongoing adventures, there's no denying that they find a new way to make the wheel seem exciting again even if the company wasn't able to reinvent it."
This game made me feel like a 12 year old endlessly pushing back my bed time to play one more level again.
As a game itself, it's a perfectly acceptable bit of fluff and far better than most licensed tie-in titles. The big problem is simply one of legacy
South Park: The Stick Of Truth is finally here and the result? Easily the funniest video game ever made.
Sure, it’s nowhere near as good as the original or as strong as the company’s finest new platformers, but if you adore Yoshi’s Island and own a 3DS, it’ll sure scratch an itch you’ve had for years
The game proves just how much fun developers can have with the 3DS' unique screen if they feel so inclined.
If you've played any Mario Golf game before, you can probably guess what to expect from Mario Golf World Tour.
"Mario Kart might be a franchise that's old enough to drink now, but this latest chapter doesn't feel crusty in the slightest.."
You can look inside your characters' minds to see what they're thinking, or even more oddly what they're dreaming (normally involving ninjas and superheroics, obviously).
Nintendo has served up fans something to tide them over in this Zelda-themed Dynasty Warriors clone. It's fan service more than anything else, but as you may have noticed by now, Nintendo is pretty good at fan service.
This isn't just the best action title on the Wii U, it's the best and most blissfully entertaining action game that's been released in this entire generation so far.
Super Smash Bros. For Wii U gives the franchise one hell of a technical facelift, plays like dream, and is sure to suck up dozens if not hundreds of hours of your life through endlessly addictive gameplay.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the latest installment in the franchise, but even though it fits an easy rhyme scheme I can't claim it's the greatest.
It's a fun little title with some beautiful design work. The trouble is that the designers never quite managed to make this title feel like more than a compilation of mini-games..
Ocarina Of Time might be the undisputed masterpiece, but Majora's Mask has slowly become a deserving cult favourite.
This title won't win any awards for ingenuity, but it will provide any gamers who like to casually call each other "Ice Man" and "Maverick" with plenty of bonehead blowin' up fun.
A genuine visual marvel and one of the most beautiful technical achievements on the Wii U.
I found myself irritated almost as much as I was enthralled.
You might not feel blown away by The Show 15 with anything new, but you'll be blown away once more by everything that this series has done right for so long.
If you were a child of the 90s with a taste for blood, a videogame system, or a handful of quarters, then it's safe to say that you fell in love with Mortal Kombat.
