LEGO Super Mario – Master Your Adventure Maker Set Review
If you've been following our LEGO Super Mario coverage on the site, or have been following me on Twitter over the past few years, you know that when the LEGO Super Mario collection was announced initially, I was incredibly skeptical and a bit vocal on social media about how I thought this LEGO line missed the mark completely with both LEGO and Nintendo fans. You might also remember me eating my words when I received my initial LEGO Group review drop with a few sets from Wave 1, including the starter kit. Now that we are onto Wave 2, I'm completely sold on the products and the play-first mentality that LEGO is going for here. Today we review the biggest play-leap for LEGO with this franchise, the Master Your Adventure Maker Set.

Sega – It’s Time For a Buyout
For a company most famous for its speedy mascot, Sega has been pretty backward about coming forward. Let’s face it, the glory days of Sega are far, far behind them. Gone are the genre-leading Dreamcast and Megadrive days. Instead, we’re left with a company not really pushing to its limit.

Life of Fly Impressions (Xbox Series)
Life of Fly features 12 short stories each revolving around the life and weird thoughts of another fly.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury Not Just a Nintendo Cash Grab
A lot of folks are calling Nintendo's re-release of old games on the Nintendo Switch a cash grab, and while I understand the thought process, I disagree with the argument. While I'll be the first to admit that Nintendo does somehow trick us into buying old games again and again and again, the process by which they are re-launching Wii U titles on the Nintendo Switch doesn't fall into this category, and for one specific reason - sales numbers.

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, here are a few things we would love to see during The Legend of Zelda's 35th anniversary!

SXFI GAMER Headset From Creative Shreds the Competition
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. Last year, they released SXFI Gen2, which was an improved and expanded version that incorporated high accuracy in personalized profiles, more configuration options, better audio positioning and more. All of these features have been packed into the SXFI GAMER headset, which offers the same incredible audio experience paired with a professional-grade microphone and stylish RGB lighting design.

Master Your Adventure Maker Set a Good LEGO Buy
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. As wave two launches, it's become quite obvious that after the starter kit, purchasing the Master Your Adventure Maker Set is easily the next thing you should buy, unless you are buying purely for displaying.

Xbox Series X – Three Weeks Later
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.

L.O.L. Surprise! Remix a Smart Cash Grab
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.
