Hey folks, I’ve got a bunch of game review links again here in this blog that I’ve written lately.  Please click on as many as you can and maybe even post a comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  But first, in honor of the upcoming release of Tomodachi Life for 3DS, I thought I’d give you a preview glimpse of the game and what Mii Cary’s Tomodachi Life is like so far!

In honor of the upcoming release of Mario Kart 8, I thought I’d write a blog ranking my favorite games in the Mario Kart series.  Mario Kart 8 itself isn’t on the list, since I haven’t played it yet as of this writing, but I am looking forward to it.  So read on to find out which Mario Kart game took first place, and which ones ate dust!

Here’s another batch of game reviews I’ve written lately.  Please click and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two, I’d appreciate it.  The title of this blog stems from the fact that a lot of the games reviewed in this batch have an adventurous feel.  Also, when I wrote game reviews for The Dallas Morning News, the title of the game reviewing section was called Electronic Adventures.  I didn’t make up that title, though.  However, when I wrote game reviews for The Daily Texan, UT Austin’s college newspaper, there were already a lot of music reviews since Austin is a pretty big live music town.  The music reviews section was called Sound Bites, so when I wrote game reviews for them, I came up with the title Game Bytes.  Get it?  Oh well, on to the reviews.

In honor of the recent release of Mario Golf: World Tour on 3DS, I thought I’d list my top 9 favorite golf video games.  Why 9?  Because there are 9 holes in golf.  Well, actually there’s 18, but half that and you get 9.  Plus I couldn’t think of 18 golf games I liked.  And when my dad used to play golf, if he didn’t have all day he would just play 9 holes, so I think it’s legit.  Anyway, golf may sound like a boring sport, but there are some video golf games that I think are pretty fun.  Just be warned that all my picks are, not surprisingly, silly and whimsical golf games.  So you won’t see any Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, or Lee Trevino on here!  So let’s tee off!  FORE!

Those of you who know me or are familiar with my blogs and articles know that I love Kirby games.  It’s probably my favorite Nintendo franchise.  I like Kirby games better than Metroid, better than Zelda, heck, even more than Mario games!  So in honor of the release of Kirby Triple Deluxe on the 3DS, here’s a Kirby blog to celebrate!  In this one, we’ll look at five Kirby games that I think they should make next!

Usually during the winter and spring months at the beginning of the year, I don’t see very many movies in theaters.  The majority of the movies I see are during the summer months when all the mindless blockbusters come out.  At the end of the summer, I usually write a round-up blog about the flicks I saw during those months.  But this year, I actually saw enough movies during the winter and spring seasons that I can write a blog about them now!  So here’s a blog about the films I saw BEFORE the summer movie blast that’ll hit us in a few weeks.  Oh yeah, just a word of warning.  I’m going to try and keep this blog spoiler free, but if a tiny spoiler trickles out, I’m just letting you know it might happen.

Recently I’ve been playing and working on reviewing the newest BlazBlue fighter: BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma.  Like the others in the series, it’s a 2-D, one-on-one fighter featuring hand drawn sprites and a storyline so complicated that you need a flow chart to understand it all.  The games are also made by the same folks who did the Guilty Gear series, I believe.  Anyway, normally when I play a fighting game, I like to talk about all the characters in a separate blog.  But I did that already a couple of years ago on 1up.com, and I don’t feel like doing that again.  Plus, many of the characters don’t interest me as much, as they are generic anime stereotypes, and I don’t have much to say about them.  So my blog would end up being mostly reading like, “Ragna is just some fighter looking dude.”  So instead, I decided just to talk about my top five favorite BlazBlue characters instead, because I’m lazy.  So let’s go!

Hello everyone.  I’ve got another batch of games I’ve been reviewing lately on this blog.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it and thanks for reading my blogs.

Big news, everyone!  I just got a new job working for SEGA.  I’m going to be one of the heads of creative development for a new studio they’re opening up called Flicky Tails Studio.  I’ve got big plans to revive some of SEGA’s forgotten characters in great new games, so I’ll be really busy and you may not hear much from me here anymore.  But before I go for good, I thought I’d give you guys a sneak peek of what I’ll be working on over the next couple of years.

Here’s another batch of games I’ve been reviewing lately.  As always, please click on and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two if you’d like.  I’d appreciate it.  Thanks a bunch.  OK, on to the reviews!
