18/01/2012 The Legend of Zelda Review
The legend starts on the Nintendo Entertainment System, how well does it start though and is it really a legend worth remembering?
16/01/2012 Super Mario 3D Land Review
The latest in the line of Mario platform games and the first to be released on Nintendo's newest handheld the 3DS, but will it manage to live up to the hype?
14/01/2012 New Super Mario Bros. Review
Fourteen years is a long time, but that is how long it had been since an original Mario platform game had appeared on a Nintendo handheld, would this new game manage to carve out it's own identity though or just copy what had gone before?
09/01/2012 New Blog: A Late Happy New Year
Been a little while coming but it is up now, happy new year to all.
02/01/2012 Super Mario 64 DS review
Once again Nintendo launched a new handheld system with a Mario game and like the last lot of games was a port of a home console game, this time the N64's Super Mario 64, again with it's bucket load of extras, but this time radically changing the single player game making it a very different experience, but would is it any better or different than the original to be worth picking it up?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 Review
The last of the Super Mario Advance series and the game that helped define all future Mario games, of all the NES games it was the most refined, so do all of the extra's included make the game any better?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island Review
Next up on the SNES to GBA port list was what I consider to best SNES game ever made, and out of all the games probably needed no extras to make it better as it already offered many of the new features all of these games were getting, would Nintendo change something to dramatically change the game or keep it as a direct port?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World Review
It started to be common practice for Nintendo to now take Mario games that appeared on home consoles and move them to handhelds and throw some extras in there, NES games that seemed a bit unrefined to begin with are one thing, but what about an already highly polished SNES game?
Would they add too many extras and change the game?
Would they add too many extras and change the game?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2 Review
Much like Super Mario Deluxe Nintendo opted to bring an older game to it's new Gameboy Advance system this time Super Mario Bros.2 throwing in a bucket load of extras as they did before as well as enhancing the visuals further than in Super Mario All-Stars, but could they really improve what is often considered the weak link in the Mario series?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Review
Rather than developing a completely brand new Mario game for the Gameboy Color Nintendo decided to bring the plumbers original adventure to the portable system with a bucket load of extras, would this prove to be a good thing or a futile attempt to milk an older game?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Review
Nintendo's second portable Mario game, but this time it takes a different route and rather than try replicate home console game it offers it's own approach as well as introducing Wario to the scene, can it offer a better experience then the first game though?
02/01/2012 Super Mario Land Review
Mario's first portable outing that aims to deliver as close an experience to it's home console sibling as it can.
02/01/2012 Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review
The first sequel to a 3D Mario game and one that aims to deliver the very best platforming experience that it can, but can it really improve on everything that has came before it or is it aiming for a galaxy that is just out of reach?
02/01/2012 New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review
Mario returns to his side scrolling roots in the sequel to the DS original but this time with multiplayer mayhem on the Wii, will it be able to live up to and match the games of years gone by?

26/10/2011 Feature: 10 Games I Loved For My Gameboy Advance

26/10/2011 Feature: 10 Games I Loved For My Gameboy
The 10 games that I probably spent most of my time playing on my Gameboy and games that I can recommend from a personal stand point, I was a very late adopter of my Gameboy and my choices are on the rather similar side but I did have much of my time sucked up but just a handful of games that made that time well worth it.
26/10/2011 Feature: 10 Games I Loved For My Gamecube
The 10 games that I probably spent most of my time playing on my Gamecube and games that I can recommend from a personal stand point, I was actually surprised how hard it was to pick just ten games for this and could have chosen many other to be in here as the overall quality of games from the generation was far higher than the previous one, some may not consider them the best but I certainly loved each and ever minute of playing them.
13/08/2011 Feature: 10 Games I Loved For My N64
The 10 games that I probably spent most of my time playing on my N64 and games that I can recommend from a personal stand point, this was really a tough list to put together as the N64 is arguably my most played console in the era it came out and i could have easily doubled it with the amount of games I played a lot on the system.
07/08/2011 Feature: 10 Games I Loved For My SNES
The 10 games that I probably spent most of my time playing on my SNES and games that I can recommend from a personal stand point, they aren't all the best although they are certainly better than my NES ones, but again they did manage to take up a lot of my time when I was younger.
