When it comes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and video games, the two haven’t gotten along for quite some time. After being a part of some of the best licensed video games ever produced in Konami’s TMNT: The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time, there really hasn’t been a truly excellent game starring the anthropomorphic…
When it came to adapting Batman’s escapades from the big screen in video game format the first time around, Sunsoft more or less had the monopoly on the character, producing games on everything from the NES, Game Boy and Sega Genesis. For the sequel to Batman, aptly named Batman Returns, the video game licensing was shared…
It’s officially December 1st, and you know what that means! That’s right, people who don’t work in the customer service are getting excited that Christmas is right around the corner while the rest of us are looking for reservations in the closest mental hospital or emergency room.

The Nintendo DS. Once a system I thought would spell the demise of the Nintendo handheld as we knew it, especially in the wake of Sony’s PSP device, went on to become a machine I would own multiple iterations of and spend countless hours playing.

Previously in both the Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones games the stories were told with pantomime and slap-stick gags that worked so incredibly well due to the fact that each of the…
Nintendo’s got a lot of problems: Their new hardware, the Wii U, is bleeding money due largely in part to launching extremely close to more powerful hardware from Sony and Microsoft, a lack of third-party support (a Nintendo staple) and a lack of steady, must have releases. I can’t really think of ways in which…

This Friday Nintendo unveiled the New 3DS to the world, and to start off given the title of this piece, I really like the look of the new system: I love the colorful buttons, the size dimensions seem great, I’m ecstatic over the inclusion of the new GameCube-esque second analog nipple for camera movement, but as…
