New Super Mario Bros. Wii

November 20th 2009 Posted in Versus


See this game? Obtain it. Buy it, rent it, play a friends copy, whatever. The important thing is that you play it, because this for certain one of the best titles on the Wii system. I’m going to say it even surpasses Mario Galaxy ok? That’s just my opinion, but if you’re like me and love the older style of Mario games I think you’ll feel the same.

I took advantage of GameStop’s trade in deal for New Super Mario Bros. Trade in two games on the list, get the game for $10.

Shooters are today what platformers were in the 80s and early 90s, meaning there are a billion of them and they’re hard to tell apart. Never fear, I am here to show you the way.

Excitebike VS Dirt

December 16th 2008 Posted in Articles, Versus

 

Remember the games that spawned so many copycats that it actually formed a new genre? Ever wonder how their modern successors stack up? Welcome to VS. I compare recent games to their original predecessor to see how new games hold up in terms of game play quality (because flashy graphics don’t make a game fun, kids!)

This time we pit the classic motocross game, Excitebike, against the newer rally cross game, Colin McRae’s DiRT. I know they’re not technically the same thing, but I figure they’re close enough. Let’s kick this off with some basic info to keep in mind. (Continue)
