The day finally came and I picked Metroid Prime up in high school as soon as it was released – and proceeded to power… Read More Gamecube / Wii Review – Metroid Prime
I played this game when I was seven or eight years old. One of the older kids on the street had this game, and he lent it to us for a week or so. I was blown away by the openness of the game and cool it was to get out of the tank! As… Read More NES Review – Blaster Master
