The Rob's New Super Mario Bros U Review

The Rob — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:13:58 +0000

The best reason to pick up a Wii U is clearly the greatest Mario game in over 23 years. I’ve been playing Mario games, literally, since I was born. I was born two years before the Nintendo Entertainment System came to the United States in 1985, and I can’t remember living in a home [...]

It’s stop-motion madness! I am not only amazed by the imaginations of other people, but the time they will put into bringing their thoughts to life. Who plays Mario Brothers, looks at a stack of Post-It™ notes, and says, “Wouldn’t it be cool to re-create this game I’m playing with these sticky notes sitting on my [...]

Even though video games have become increasingly sophisticated over the years, there's still something about dusting off an old game like the original Super Mario Brothers and giving it a spin, even though it can apparently be conquered in five minutes if you do it right. What's even cooler is when someone takes a classic character and gives them a modern spin, like this updated version of the aforementioned princess saving adventure.

Another Super Geeky Find From Kat – Paper Mario Robot [VIDEO]

Kat Mykals — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 20:08:11 +0000

Yes. It’s true. I’m a dork. I find pleasure in some of the most unusual things, like this video of a Super Mario Automaton. What in the world is an automaton? Basically, it’s a machine that creates an animation, and is crafted out of wood, paper, plastic, or similar material. Now, I know that The [...]
