These games are probably my most anticipated 3DS and Wii U games as of date. Seriously, this will be the first Smash Bros game in high defenition (Wii U) and the first portable Smash Bros game (3DS) ever. But the question is, how will it look and how well will the gameplay be? Regardless of those and other questions gamers might have, I personally have faith that these two titles will be a (smash) hit with both consoles. There are rumors out there of what the 3DS and Wii U versions will be like, but again, rumors.

Also, it's been at least 3 years since the new Smash Bros game was announced back at E3 2010, and for gamers, that can be torture, especially when the director of Smash Bros was in the middle of making Kid Icarus: Uprising (which is a fun game, btw). Still, I suppose we can wait a little longer. My guess is that it will be ready by Holiday 2013 at the earliest, but we can only hope.

Anyway, what would you like to see in the next Smash Bros game?

Obviously, Nintendo is going to make a new Zelda and Mario for the Wii U console, and so out of curiosity, I was wondering what you would like to see in these next iterations? (Graphics, gameplay, story, etc.)

3 A-Team comics I ordered, done by Marvel in the 80s and based off of the hit TV series.

The AVENGERS! O_o In High Def!

What I like about PS Home is the avatar creator and being able to walk around a virtual space with other PS3 users, but the thing I really hate the most about it is the long load times... it takes anywhere between 5-10 minutes to load up and sometimes it takes longer than that! Anyway, if you've ever used PS Home, what are your thoughts on it?

Hey everyone! I recently purchased Dragon's Dogma for my PS3 and as of late, I've clocked in about 10 hours of playtime. The game is really fun and engaging - frustrating and annoying sometimes, but not so much as to cause me to sell it. It's a good 'frustrating' and 'annoying' mainly because it's a challenge that I've not encountered in a game for quite some while, i.e. character dies due to overwhelming enemy presence while traveling the land of Gransys, having to run on foot everywhere, etc. Other than those and a few other technical 'issues', DD has great combat, imposing enemies and bosses, beautiful scenery, cool weapons and armor, and the story itself is pretty original, too. There's a sense of adventure while traveling with your pawns, and you really feel like a team when defeating a group of harpies or goblins (or a chimera). Overall, if you like medieval-type RPGs that involve slaying legendary monsters, I highly recommend this game.

These cheap-a$$ covers should explain for themselves...

Not to mention the cheap 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight' Blu-ray covers that I saw at Wal-Mart the other day, but I couldn't find the images online so if you want to see what those look like, visit your local Wal-Mart. What do you think of these covers? Could you do a better job on them?

I can see quite a few similarities between the Monster Hunter series and Capcom's newest series, Dragon's Dogma - you fight gigantic monsters, you customize your characters, you go on lengthy quests, gather herbs, etc. To me, I feel like Dragon's Dogma is just Monster Hunter on steroids, which is a good thing! And since we all know that the Wii got Monster Hunter Tri, Capcom gave us 360/PS3 owners something even better, I believe, which is Dragon's Dogma. So which series do you prefer? MH or DD? Are you looking forward to seeing what Capcom does with their sequel to DD?

In light of the third and final movie to the Batman Begins trilogy, many people out there are saying that The Dark Knight Rises should be rated 'R' and that it is laced with 'evil' and is thus not right to see it... I've read quite a bit of reviews on the film and honestly, it sounds like it does have a bit more grittiness to it than The Dark Knight did - oh, and don't forget the ever-popular Rush Limbaugh and his conspiracy theory on the Bane character - how it's tied in with the political race and what-not. (Whatever )

So anyway, if you have seen the movie, what are your thoughts on it? Is it too violent to be rated PG-13? Did it have any 'horror' scenes in it? Do you think it is 'evil' as some fanatics say?

After doing some research, I finally decided on getting this driving game:

It's a really fun, open-world driving game. Crash, race, escape, smash, and cruise your way to endless fun in over 75 different vehicles from bikes to cop cars. Even after 5 years this game still looks good. Two thumbs up.

Well, after 2 years since purchasing my cheap Net10 phone, my battery is failing to hold a charge, so I ordered a new battery. Exciting isn't it? :/

Well, had an awesome birthday - went and saw The Amazing Spider-Man movie (it is amazing... seriously) went and saw some fireworks, and got Dirt 3: Complete Edition.

Apparently, I tried to take advantage of GameStop's 'Buy 2 get 1 used game Free' deal, but I found out that out of the three games you pick out, the cheapest one is the one you get for free; of course. So I just bought 1 game instead. It was only $12. And I also pre-ordered NSMB 2. I hope GS has a pre-order bonus like they did with Mario 3D Land (Tanooki Keychain).

You know... those times when you only want to replay some retro Mario sidescrollers, or when you just want to play the latest game you've been waiting for for a long time? Right now, I'm replaying some N64 titles. What gaming 'mood' are you in now?

Well, today was the day 'The Amazing Spider-Man' game launched and I've read multiple reviews on it - to my surprise, all of them gave the game an average score of 8.5/10, which is really good for a movie-based game. I'll buy it eventually - it looks really fun.

Here's what I think makes Mario games so memorable -

Overworld Maps...

Power-Ups...

And the Koopalings.

Of course, I'm sure this is only a portion of what makes Mario games so memorable, so what do you think?

... is excited for this game?

I know I've asked this question in Swapnote, but I'll ask it here anyways in case you need more room to write your answer

Who else downloaded the Amazing Spider-Man demo from the eShop (3DS)? I did, and I was surprised at what I found. Typically, portable versions of home-console games are watered down - and I was expecting the same for this demo, something like a lame 2D side-scroller. But in fact, the Amazing Spider-Man 3DS is quite the opposite. It's much like the home console version, albit the graphics aren't as good (obviously) but they are nonetheless fantastic for the handheld. The gameplay is quite good, despite a split-second delay when pointing Spidey in the right direction. The combat, animations, setting, it all looks like the home-console version. A couple things I noticed that were sketchy were the smoke and fire graphics - they looked flat and choppy. Other than that though, this demo really makes me think about buying both the PS3 AND the 3DS version. Go check it out It's one of the funnest game demos on the eShop out there right now.
