<Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Genre: Fighting
Developer: Sora/HAL Laboratory
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: 03/09/2008
What is arguably the most hyped game of this generation has finally been released. If you’re a long-time Nintendo fan, chances are that this game has been dancing in your dreams from the day it was first announced. March 9th 2008 could very well have been […]
When I first got the Wii, I was so excited that I was willing to try pretty much anything that could be played on it. That’s usually what happens when you buy a new console on launch day: you look through the launch line-up, pick-up whatever looks half-decent and hope for the best. This is […]
Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland
Genre: Action-Adventure
Developer: Vanpool
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: 09/14/2007 (Europe)
I have searched the world high and low; I have read countless sites and forums in the hope of finding someone like me. Yet, it seems like I am the only fan of Tingle in North America. I don’t really see why everybody hates him. Sure, […]
Super Mario Galaxy
Genre: Platformer
Developer: Nintendo EAD
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: 11/12/2007
You’ve seen the previews, you’ve heard the hype. Super Mario Galaxy is supposed to be the best Mario game since Super Mario 64, the same game that many says defined 3D platforming as we know it today. With such a pedigree, the newest game in the series […]
Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock
Genre: Rhythm Game
Developer: Vicarious Visions
Publisher: Activision
Release Date: 10/28/2007
Before Guitar Hero was created, people like me who wish they could play guitar but are too lazy to learn were limited to playing air guitar to their favourite solo, an activity which everybody does when alone, but is usually frowned upon in […]
Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros’ Treasure
Genre: Adventure/Puzzle
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Release Date: 10/23/2007
Here’s a game that could have passed right under everybody’s nose without the help of some seriously devoted fans. This is a title that probably wasn’t on a lot of «must-buy» lists; it’s an adventure game centred on solving puzzles, reminiscent of the old […]
The Halo 3 craze is a few weeks old now. Everybody who wanted to has probably already beaten the game, and those who wished never to hear from it again are mostly getting what they asked for.
Don’t worry, I am not going to turn this into another rant against the game, because frankly, while I […]
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Genre: Action-Adventure
Developer: Nintendo EAD
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: 10/01/2007
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker effectively split the series’ fans in two factions. The first one thought that the new hand-drawn look was childish and that a joke was being made out of their favourite franchise. The other group simply embraced the […]
My left knee is swollen to the size of a grapefruit right now. All of this is because I am quite the awesome goaltender when it comes to playing floor hockey. As a sidenote (yeah, two sentences in and already a sidenote!), I didn’t know it was called «floor hockey» until today, as we French-Canadians […]
