What Defunct Franchises Should Nintendo Raise From The Ashes?
After reading Eugene’s article regarding the resurrection of past Nintendo franchises, I started thinking to myself about other defunct franchises that might never again see the light of day, but really deserve a second chance. I am not talking about old Nintendo franchises, since Eugene has already brought that topic to light, but what about old Sega, Atari, etc…? There are some great...

What If..?
It seems that every generation has a series of consoles that battle over gaming dominance. Probably the greatest was Nintendo VS Sega.

Review: Mario and Sonic win the gold…for bizarre gameplay
The 3DS edition of Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games hit store shelves last month. Mediocre initial review scores made me wary, but I did enjoy the eShop demo, so I finally caved and bought the cartridge.
