I played this game not really knowing anything about the Kid Icarus franchise other than for years it was one of the most requested sequels from Nintendo fans. There were even talks of a potential "Man Icarus" game that took the franchise into darker, mature, territory. Thankfully that did not happen - insteand we have "Kid Icarus: Uprising", a funny, exciting, and weird game that is the most original game to come…
SPOILER-FREE REVIEW This is a text-based adventure game, similar to games like Phoenix Wright or Hotel Dusk. So you will be reading 75% of the time. A game like this would not work if the story and the writing weren't excellent. Thankfully, 999 has some of the best writing and the most mind-blowing story in any video game you will ever play. It seamlessly combines elements mystery, thriller, and science-fiction into…

This is one of the most epic games I've played simply due to the massive scope of the world needed to be traveled, and by how lively the world is…
Metroid Prime 3 is very similar to the previous two entries by Retro Studios, but it feels like the final product of many adjustments and tweaks to the Metroid Prime formula. Overall, this is perhaps the most well-designed and finely polished Metroid Prime game. Once again the art direction remains in the top of it's class, with Prime 3 having some of the most fantastic alien environments the series has ever seen.…
