If you have never played Super Mario RPG before, you are in for a real treat when the enhanced version drops on November 17th. This is a weird preview to put together because, for those of us who have enjoyed it in the past, the game itself has been out since the days of the Super Nintendo. Many regard Super Mario RPG as one of the best Mario games of all time, and specifically the best Mario RPG title (although…

Australia’s top eSports exponents have been handed a major boost after Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz confirmed his country will host an annual World Cup event. It will incorporate several leading eSports titles across all of the popular gaming genres, potentially opening the door for numerous Australian eSports professionals to participate in the tournaments.

Growing up, my family never did advent calendars so the thought of getting a little gift each day leading to Christmas day was foreign to me.

I understand I’m living in a different environment than most hardcore board game players. Before GamesReviews became as popular as it has, and before our board game footage began performing so well, everything we did here on the site was paid for out of pocket. This was the same for my free-time board gaming as well. That meant we would perhaps pick up 3 or 4 expensive ($80 – $100) games per year, plus things on sale and smaller titles.…
