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.

Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition – GBA
Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition is a GBA exclusive that brought Sektor, Noob Saibot, and Sareena all into the Deadly Alliance storyline….but does the gameplay live up to the promising premise?
Bayonetta 2 – Wii U
Bayonetta 2 is an amazing Wii U exclusive and something that most Nintendo fans won’t expect – angels, demons, a foul-mouthed Italian, and a hyper-sexualized hipster-esque witch….do I need to say more?
