Paper Mario – Nintendo 64
Imagine that one day you were suddenly turned into a piece of paper and you had to go on a quest to save your kidnapped girlfriend. Does that sound interesting to you? If your answer was no, then I agree with you, yet somehow Intelligent Systems made it interesting with their release of Paper Mario.

Super Mario 3D Land – Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo flexes their creative juices once again in Super Mario 3D Land on the Nintendo 3DS. Does this handheld title live up to the high-standard set forth by it’s predecessors? Join Nerd Bacon and their celebration of Mario’s 30th anniversary in this 3DS game review.

Wolfenstein 3D – PC
For almost everyone outside of Germany, Wolfenstein 3D was an explosive introduction to what many of us would regard as the proper first-person shooter genre. Back then, all you needed was a few guns, a bunch of Nazis, and hidden rooms behind push-walls. But does this dusty relic still cut to the core like granddad’s serrated WWII combat knife? Get psyched.

Super Mario 64 – Nintendo Wii (Virtual Console)
Super Mario 64 was a damn fine game when it released on the N64 in 1996. Now it has been re-released on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. Do your fond memories of this classic platformer hold up some twenty years later? Brush off your nostalgia and join Nerd Bacon, and Mario, on their journey to save Princess Peach from the Koopa King one last time.

Until Dawn – PlayStation 4
Until Dawn blurs the lines between what defines a video game versus what defines a movie. It may not be for you, but this is one horror experience that is bound to shock you at some point or another. How does it play as a game? Is this worth owning on as part of the PlayStation 4 library? Nerd Bacon’s got you covered in this review of Until Dawn.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! – GameCube
A few months ago I managed to review Mario Kart 64 while trying to keep all nostalgia off my mind, and today I am going to do the same by re-visiting Mario Kart: Double Dash!! This title adds quite a bit to the Mario Kart series, so much so that I don’t really know where to begin.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – SNES
Super Mario RPG could’ve turned out so wrong, but the result is so right. With an ingenious blend of classical Mario and RPG elements, this game delivers on all fronts with an awesome story, characters, gameplay, music and graphics. A must play.
-
Raptor: Call of the Shadows – PC
Raptor: Call of the Shadows is a scrolling shooter title that pits you up against countless enemy ships with only one goal in mind, to make as much cash blowing them to smithereens as possible. Its initial difficulty curve may be hard for newer players to grasp, but if you hold out and upgrade your weapons judiciously, you’ll likely find it an enjoyable game.

Darkseed – PC
A sequel to last year’s review, we’re reviewing Darkseed 2’s predecessor! Hey, nobody talked shit to George Lucas for doing his works out of order! Oh….wait….
-
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune – PS3
A birthplace for one of modern gaming’s icons, Uncharted is definitely an interesting product of our time. Does this treasure hunting, guns blazing experience hold up? Or is it as stale as Sir Francis Drake’s corpse?
-
Backyard Baseball 2003 – PC
I’m reviewing a game today that is as alive in my heart as the moment I touched it at five years old. Does it hold up? Or was five year old me just a stupid kid with no grip on what games were good? YOU DECIDE!

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 – DS
For the Mario anniversary, I’ll be reviewing a basketball game. With my weird review choices, I can’t really say I should be surprised, and neither should you. The fact that Square Enix developed this game does make it a curiosity though…

Get a taste of an amazing game that will keep you busy for years to come. Can you completely beat bbpower’s favorite game of all time? Can you conquer the WEAPONS?
-
Final Fantasy VIII – PlayStation
Final Fantasy VIII may not be the worst RPG ever, but it’s one of the most disappointing Final Fantasies. Good graphics and great music can’t save this game from a hackneyed story, annoying characters and a frustrating battle system. Skip it.
