Find out what these ratings mean and how I rate video games.
I collect as much video gaming paraphernalia as I can get my hands on, especially when it comes to hardware. With over 40 systems including oldies like the ColecoVision and Intellivision, obscurities like the CD-i and 3DO, and the latest and greatest including the Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, 3DS, and PS Vita, I get easily overwhelmed. Most of the time you can find me firmly nestled sometime between 1985 and 1995 when it comes to my games of choice, but I'm also having a great time seeing what the 8th generation has to offer.

Metroid II: Return of Samus – Game Boy
Amongst the discussion between the original NES game and the SNES Super Metroid, the series’ second installment, a Game Boy exclusive, is often overlooked. Metroid II: Return of Samus was polarizing during its day and remains a point of contention. For instance I enjoy the many gameplay mechanics and complex layout, but I also find the limited graphics tiresome and dated. Good or bad? You’ll have to decide for yourself.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Character Roster
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham promises to be the greatest Lego gaming experience to date. With loads of never before seen features and 134 revealed characters from a roster of over 150 DC heroes and villains, this should be an exciting release for owners of any current systems or handhelds.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat – DS
When Mortal Kombat was at it’s peak during the mid-90’s, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was a popular arcade attraction. The game underwent many changes during its transition to home consoles, but 10 years later, an arcade-perfect port landed on the Nintendo DS known simply as Ultimate Mortal Kombat.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril – 3DS
Marvel has gotten a lot of exposure outside of comics for the past few years, and Lego has taken the time to put their unique, light-hearted spin on the Marvel Universe in Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril. With a familiar but updated “Lego style” and a roster of 150 characters, Universe in Peril is a must-have for handheld owners.
