Infendo
If I ran a theme park, it would be “Super Mario Country”
Universal Florida has the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Disneyland Resort will have the huge, amazing Cars Land in 2012. If I had my own theme park, you can bet I’d try to get the rights for a Super Mario Country. And, yes, I’ve built one in just about every one of my countless Rollercoaster Tycoon parks.

We all must have some game in our collections that you like to hide at the back of the shelf, claiming that “It’s my sister’s!” or some other such excuse. Time to come clean, folks. What’s the most embarrassing game you’ve ever owned?
What do you think of Metroid Other M?
The game released yesterday. Did you play it? If so, what do you think? Is Infendo on crack? Was Mark on to something in his mixed review? More importantly, where do you think this game will rank in the annals of Metroid history? Top of the food chain, middle manager, or bottom feeder? Speak up!
If your Wii died tomorrow…
Which downloaded games would you re-purchase? Nintendo’s policy on downloaded Wiiware and Virtual Console games’locking them to one console per purchase’annoys just about everyone. If your machine dies and Nintendo can repair your machine, no problem. If you need to purchase a new Wii, however, you’ve lost all ownership of your downloaded games. So if you had to buy a new machine, whic...

Starting September 12th, the DSi and DSi XL will each drop $20 in price. Just out of curiosity: {democracy:118}
Do the last five hours of Metroid: Other M redeem the first five? No.
By popular demand, I beat Metroid Other M this weekend. Did completing the game change my “meh” opinion? No. As rated in my original review, Metroid: Other M is an average game at best, made worse by limiting controls and a pathetic story. As a result, I believe Other M will go down as a top contender for “weakest Metroid ever.” That said, I did learn some things from ̶...

Remember how hard F-Zero GX was?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxZrMMdAR4[/youtube] Anyone complaining about the lack of difficult games recently obviously missed this discouraging hard GameCube game. After 15 attempts, I don’t think I ever made it past the second track. I haven’t picked it up since.
Video games seek immunity from used sales, fail to see the irony
Used video games have been around since the early ’80s. But they weren’t a problem in the eyes of developers until the middle of the decade, at which point game sales weren’t growing as fast as they used to. Rather than blame the safe creative bets, bloated budgets, and $10 HD surcharge (yes, many games carry an MSRP of $60 these days) for the decline, developers set their sights...
