Luigi's Mansion 2 (3DS) Review

In the Year of Luigi, his greatest year... does this game live up to the standards of the original? Or is it a bad ghost busting game?

Spoilers!

 

I’m sure most of you know about the original “Luigi’s Mansion” game, and that most of you have played it (I haven’t still…) but back in March, we saw the release of the sequel. Luigi’s Mansion 2 hit stores and since day 1, I got it. But does the hype continue to now, or have I gotten bored of the ghost busting action?

Back to ghost busting - the frightened brother returns.

The Blue Umbrella (Short Film) Review

Paperman is in the lead, but Pixar attempt to promote a new style of animation with The Blue Umbrella

When Disney Animation Studios released Paperman as the short movie to accompany the excellent Wreck-It Ralph, audiences immediately took to the semi-hand drawn, semi-CGI art style. However, now Pixar Animation Studios prepare to do the same, but will it be as good as the now legendary Paperman?

The animation is stunning to watch...Go and find the Red Umbrella!

Monsters University Review

The long awaited sequel becomes a prequel, and it was worth the wait...

Yesterday, a staggering 12 year wait came to a close for me in my life. Looking around in the theatre, I realised that many in the audience weren't even 12 themselves, and in truth I felt old. The sense of nostalgia that was felt by those alive when the original flick came out was evident through laughter and squeals of delight when characters from Inc. made cameos in this movie, and I suppose that the only sad thing was that those new to the franchise wouldn't have understood these ingenious crowd pleasers at all.

Surprisingly, this is a much more Mike orientated movie than I previously thought...

Super Mario 3D Land Review

Is this a true 3D Mario or is it a major platforming flop?

Spoilers...

Back at Nintendo E3 2011, we were given our first glimpse of what would later be known as "Super Mario 3D Land". At first I was really hyped and excited for this new 3DS game, but did it the enjoyment last throughout the adventure?

Is it a good adventure? Read on to find out...

New Super Mario Bros. 2 3DS Review

Is this game a money making success? Or is it the worst Mario game to date?

Announced back in a Nintendo Direct well over a year ago, New Super Mario Bros 2 was confirmed as the 3DS’ 2D platforming game for the no. 1 plumber from the Mushroom Kingdom. After much hype over the game (like the Facebook Coin Rush), does it live up to the expectations of fans or is it a very boring game overall? Find out in this review!
 

Golden artwork eh?

Mario Kart 7 Review

Beep-beep, beep-beep, YEAH!

The 3DS instalment of the now infamous Mario Kart series has caused internet uproar as Nintendo announced the inclusions of aerial and underwater sections. The thing is, do the new modes work? I think we all know the answer is yes!

Um, there's a cone on your...never mind

New Super Luigi U Review

Is this a successful DLC for New Super Mario Bros. U or is this a really really REALLY bad spin-off of the number one Platforming Plumber?

You all heard the news of a New Super Mario Bros. U DLC. It was certainly coming, but does it live up to the standards of a 2D Mario game? Wait and see after the jump...

Nice artwork eh? But where on earth is Mario!?

Paper Mario: Sticker Star Review

Is this game a sticking success or an epic fail?

The hype of Sticker Star created by Nintendo was huge, and with the amount of coverage and footage floating about you surely expect a good game, but alas, it does not impress...

The artwork is more impressive than the game.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Review

Does the anniversary game entertain, or fall flat on it's beaked face?

After the amount of hype that surrounded this game during it's development and design, Nintendo had already made it hard for themselves before the latest instalment of Zelda had hit the shelves; Does the Wii game impress though, or will it be the series first flop since the underwhelming Zelda II?

                                                  The painted look certainly impresses
