New Suits Please!
When you play lots of video games you are limited with what you can do with a character. If, for instance, you’re playing a shooter game, you can generally only do shooting stuff. You may be able to get different guns, but that doesn’t mean that you can actually do different things. One of the [...]

28. July 2009
Even casual fans of the Mario franchise will admit that the constant changing of worlds, surfaces, temperatures and even styles is what made this such a memorable series. If there is water between Mario and his goal, you can bet that there is a Big Bertha around. In the early games, unless you had a [...]

battle with one of your best fighters out of commission. When you take on the stage boss Bowyer at the end of the Forest Maze, you are forced to dodge a flurry of aeros (spelled like the rock band). If the aero lands on one of your players, you have to go into battle with [...]

22. July 2009
I was introduced to Mario when I was in college, and by then he’d been around for a long time, but us girls aren’t really supposed to love video games, at least not the way that I do! Anyway, by the time I was introduced to him there were a number of different video games [...]

19. July 2009
I’ve been a licensed therapist for 10 years, and one thing that I bring into my treatment center is always a video game system.

16. July 2009
No matter which Mario game you choose, there are tons of odd creatures that you come across. If you are a fan of Super Mario RPG like I am, you probably remember Belome. He is the king of the Kero Kero Sewers and he loves to eat. He loves to eat so much, he tends [...]

13. July 2009
It is amazing to consider that there was a time when Birdo wasn’t part of the Mario family. During the old Donkey Kong days and even during Super Mario Bros, there was no Birdo, but thankfully, with the advent of Super Mario Bros. 2, Birdo hit the scene and the world of video games hasn’t [...]

10. July 2009
One of the things that I think makes Mario great is that the designers are always willing to change things up a bit. When one thing gets stale, they change it up and do something else. I’ve really enjoyed the Mario world for just that reason – because you never know what you’re going to [...]

7. July 2009
When I first started playing the Super Mario Galaxy game, I was actually pretty bored at first. I thought that we were just going to be introduced to the same characters that we’ve played for so long now. But then I got a shock when I met Rosalina. Rosalina was a great character and was [...]
