Kid Icarus: Uprising review: Is it bad if the boxart is my favorite part of the game?
Kid Icarus: Uprising has had many Infendo contributors, myself included, wondering if the game was going to have some serious problems when it finally released. Since then, it has, and let’s just it has never been more fantastic to be proven wrong. Project Sora has with their first project already proven that they are a top tier developer, making the wait for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS all ...
Sneak Peek: How Wii U Tablet Controller will be Utilized in Assassin’s Creed 3
One of my biggest complaints about games is how they access the inventory menus. Some games allow you to access the menu when walking around, or exploring. Some games will not allow you to access the menu during a battle. My favorite inventory menu scenario is when I need to gain access to a life saving elixir, Pause the game, take the elixir, take a bathroom break, come back, un-pause, and BA...
I take back everything I said about the 3DS stand
So…are many of you currently enjoying one of the best games Nintendo’s ever released? (And, no, I’m not talking about 1st Class Poker and Blackjack). Kid Icarus Uprising has been surprising me in a lot of great ways this weekend, and I have to eat some crow regarding my past negative comments regarding the free included stand. It works, it’s well designed, and it aids the g...

Trainers, Go!
The Pokémon 2012 International Challenge is underway! Registration is over, and the competition officially began yesterday. Running until the 26th of March, it gives trainers a chance to utilize Pokémon from every generation in a double battle format. Time to break out those winning strategies (or be crushed by them). Granted, this kind of free-for-all tournament is a far cry from tiered, organize...

Heroes of Ruin can’t come to 3DS soon enough

Just think, in just a few short months we will have a Diablo-like game available right on our handh...
Boredom + Gameboy = Awesomeness!
Youtuber, MrSeberi created this pretty cool music video using nothing but sounds created by his gameboy. He has this to say about the video: “To answer some of your questions: 1) Yes, all the sounds come from the Game Boy. No effects were used. 2) The yellow thing is (as some of you already pointed out) the Game Boy Camera. 3) No Game Boys were harmed during the filming of this video...
Nintentunes: The windiest day edition
New Mexico is famous for a couple of things: Green chile, The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, birthplace of Smokey the Bear. In Spring, New Mexico is known for something else, wind. I don’t know how to describe how windy it is outside in the New Mexico area. One example is that this morning during our soccer game, we had to move to another field because the wind ripped the goal fro...
