Don’t you miss the days when a Mario game releasing with the launch of a Nintendo console was a given? Yeah, me too. The Nintendo 3DS launched nearly nine months ago now, and gamers have been wondering where all of the “good” games are. Thankfully, it’s the holiday season, and Nintendo has finally started giving 3DS owners the games they’ve been waiting for. Super Mario 3D Land is one of those games, but was it worth the wait? Yeah, I’d say so.

Can you believe it’s been five years since the Wii first came out? Five years since Nintendo was unanimously agreed to be in last place in the console race? Five years since motion controls were considered a failure waiting to happen? Five years since all of those Wii sexual innuendos? Can you believe it’s been five years since the last console Zelda game? What in the wide world of video gaming has Nintendo been doing these past five years? Well, in addition to enjoying the unexpectedly explosive success of their “subpar” home console, they’ve been working harder than they ever have to create not only the best Wii game ever, but perhaps, the best Zelda game ever. With the Wii U, Nintendo’s next home console, hitting shelves sometime next year, Nintendo wanted The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to be their swan song to the Wii. Ladies and gentlemen, they succeeded. If you read nothing else in this review, read this: get this game.

A brief video demoing the various collectibles, stat boosts, and power ups/skills in Sonic Generations, all of which are sure to keep players gaming far beyond the completion of the main game.

A demonstration of the constantly diverging and converging paths of the stages in Sonic Generations.
Each stage and each act have multiple routes that get Sonic from start to finish. Be sure to explore them all!

Oh, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic… How long has it been since you had a good game? I suppose that answer will vary depending on how much individual Sonic fans are willing to forgive, but the general consensus is that it’s been far too long. I myself am a huge Sonic fan despite being a die-hard Nintendo fanboy. While other kids were reading comics about some lame guys in tights called Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man, I was busy reading up on the blue rodent with an attitude and an appetite for chili dogs. Despite my love for Sonic, playing Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii felt like each member of Sonic Team coming up to me one by one and slapping me in the face and spitting in my eye. Needless to say, that game completely turned me off of the franchise I once adored (at the time I didn’t have a 360 or PS3 for that Sonic the Hedgehog to do it for me). Praise the gaming gods for Sonic Generations! Ever since its first trailer, the game has looked great, but fans (myself included) remained understandably skeptical. Now that the game is out, and I’ve spent countless hours with it, I am very pleased to say that Sonic Generations broke the curse of the Sonic Cycle and is the best Sonic game I have played in a long time.

Ah… Good ole Star Fox. Ever since its debut back in 1993, the series has put players in control of furry pilot Fox McCloud and his crew of space animal pals. Four years later, Star Fox 64 was released on the Nintendo 64 and has since become widely regarded as the best game of the series. For more than a decade, gamers have been clamoring for another Star Fox game that plays and feels as good as Star Fox 64. While the GameCube and Nintendo DS sequels were fun in their own rights, they just weren’t quite what fans were looking for. That said, what better way to give the fans what they want than a 3D remake of the series’ best? While the bulk of Star Fox 64 3D is taken straight from the Nintendo 64 original, Nintendo EAD and co-developer Q-games (who also made Star Fox Command for the Nintendo DS) made sure to stuff a whole slew of new features into this Nintendo 3DS remake such as updated graphics, updated controls, updated voice overs, and a brand new multiplayer experience. Oh yeah, and it’s in 3D.

What makes the best things in life better? Adding another dimension, obviously. Fact: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best thing since sliced bread — heck, it’s better than sliced bread. However, this game came out in 1998 and has had more than its share of reviews, criticisms, theories, and even reevaluations. Therefore, there shall be no story, no complaining about Navi, no talk of vast emptiness, and no timeline discussed in this review. Do you hear me? None (for the record though, there is a timeline, and Navi loves you no matter how much you hate her)! What I will talk about are the differences between Ocarina of Time 3Dand the original Nintendo 64 version (as well as the GameCube and Wii ports). I willtalk about why you should drop whatever you’re doing (except reading this review… finish that…) and go buy this game. And I will explain to you why The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is even better than sliced bread with butter!

Another year, another Metroid… The question that seems to be on everyone’s mind is whether they should buy it or skip it. With the return to “traditional sidescrolling” after so many years of the Prime adventure/FPS games, people are very skeptical and cautious about Metroid: Other M. Hopefully after reading this review, your minds will be set on, at the very least, renting this game.
