Super Mario RPG Preview
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…

LEGO Advent Calendar the Perfect Gift for Any Age
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 think perhaps over the past 30 years, more and more people have begun getting into the holiday spirit with an advent calendar. They range from calendars that have chocolates or candies, to calendars with books, calendars with toys, and yes even calendars with LEGO. In this article we will look at three different…

Capcom: Now Mods are Cheating
There are few things in gaming that are absolutely sacred, but one of those things is modding. It is an inalienable right, as Bethesda found when they started considering paid modding. Capcom, apparently, didn’t hear this message. Taro Yahagi, a programmer for Capcom, said mods “aren’t that different from cheating” in terms of what they do to the game internally.

Monster Hunter World and the Lack of Shelf Space
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.…
