February 21st is not that far away, but it will mark the 35th anniversary of one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. When Mario hit the same milestone, fans were treated to new games - notably the All-star collection with Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy - tons of incredible merchandise from Puma, LEVI's, and more, and of course, exclusive items that could be earned by beating challenges, or purchased in the Nintendo store. It was an incredible year celebrating Mario, and here is hoping Zelda is just as big. So without further ado, ...

A couple of years ago, Creative launched its Super X-Fi line of audio accessories that took the world by storm. Their superior audio quality and surround sound experience left us absolutely speechless.

If you gave - or received - the Super Mario LEGO starter kit over the holidays, you are probably overwhelmed by the number of additional LEGO set packs you can purchase to supplement what you get with the starter kit. We've purchased and received for a review most of wave one, and really enjoyed what we got.

It was just before the holiday that Xbox Canada was able to send over an Xbox Series X for us to try out, review, and use for Xbox content going forward.

The L.O.L. Surprise line-up of toys has been shockingly popular in North America as of late, but if silly toys from Ryan's World can take off an be popular hits, why can't these? And to that end, capitalizing on the toy franchise just wasn't enough, as the world of L.O.L. Surprise made its way into the video game space with L.O.L. Surprise! Remix. While an obvious cash grab, it's one that works surprisingly well, and while it will have a very niche audience, at least it's a decent experience as opposed to shovel ware crap.

Stonemaier games has quickly become one of my favourite board game publishing companies because of a few key factors. First, their titles are generally really, really good. They scale well for the minimum to maximum players, the components included are fantastic, and the strategy is easy to understand, but incredibly deep.
