I don’t know why, but Super Mario 3D World never looked that appealing to me. I just thought it seemed like a rather generic Mario game, so for a long time, I just didn’t buy it. Earlier this year, I was bought it as a gift and I realise that my initial reaction was all wrong. I can […]
Mario Kart Wii is the sixth Mario Kart and a definite favourite of mine. I think it has the perfect combination of a good selection of characters and a great set of race tracks. A great starting point, if you’ve not tried Mario Kart before. So let me tell you about the available characters. Right away you have Mario,
This is the third game in the Smash Bros. series. The majority of the gameplay is unchanged since the first game and so I shan’t go into much detail about how exactly the game is played and will instead talk about the changes and additions that this instalment brings with it. The best thing about this
Super Mario Galaxy was a very well received game (I liked it a lot too) and since the developers had a lot of ideas for the game which they didn’t have time to implement, they decided to put them all together with some new things here and there and release it as the sequel; Super Mario
This is the second Smash Bros. game and I look at it as a huge improvement over the first.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the fourth game in the Mario Kart series and it might just be the most innovative of the lot! However, while Double Dash!! may bring a lot of new features and changes to the series, does that equate to a high level of quality? First, let’s look at the character selection. All the characters
After a gap of three years, this game is the continuation of the Donkey Kong Country series and it also presents, for the first time, the world of Donkey Kong in full 3D. This time, as well as stealing all of Donkey Kong’s bananas, King K. Rool has kidnapped his friends, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny and Chunky and
This game is the third in the Donkey Kong Country series (here’s a link to reviews of the first and second) and I find it to be yet another fantastic game. The storyline this time is that Donkey Kong and Diddy have both mysteriously vanished and so Dixie (along with Kiddy, who she’s babysitting) head out to try and find
When Rare was purchased by Microsoft in 2002, it seems Nintendo were left quite unsure as to what to do with the Donkey Kong series as there were several rather experimental games released after this. We had the modern Donkey Kong acting like the classic one, we had a climbing based game and we had this game, which is
The Gamecube was a console on which Nintendo carried out a lot of experimentation. Super Mario Sunshine was the main Super Mario game for the Gamecube and is, indeed, very experimental. Some dislike this game for being too different from other titles in the series, but I appreciate that it is very unique and actually find it very
