The Legend of Zelda 35th Anniversary Coming Up Soon
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, ...

Read MoreWhere Have the Z-List Film Tie-in Games Gone?
No licensed music, characters that look nothing like their film counterparts and stories that only slightly resemble the source material – tie-in games used to be things of beauty. Alas, those days have gone. Development is harder than ever, taking years and years. Throwing together Hogwarts in six months is no longer an option. It’s more than a little depressing. There’s an entire generation of children who’ll never buy the worst video games just because they recognize the face of…

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.
