Too Much Awesome

Any gamer worth their weight in Gil knows that to properly understand video games, one must overwhelm oneself with video games. Chances are, the average gamer has a lifetime of games left to play already in his possession, just waiting to be dusted off, placed in a console, and forgotten completely soon afterward. If you’re [...]

Last week I claimed to be a Grandmaster at the original Mass Effect, and I’d like to stand by that claim today by saying that I can total that game any day I feel like. But when it comes to complete domination and beastly skill, Mass Effect 2 is where I really shine. There are [...]

We’re quickly coming up on the release of Mass Effect 3, an event I’m pretty excited about. There’s a lot Bioware could do wrong, and of course there’s even more they could do right. But we’re not there yet. Perhaps you’ve just recently heard about Mass Effect and want to start at the beginning to [...]

You just can’t keep a good plothole down, can you? I still love Dragon Ball Z, no matter how much I complain and how much I moan about it, but I’m compelled to continually find problems with the story, the characters, and the progression of the series. I consider a plothole anything that isn’t readily [...]

I’m a big Pokemon fan and have been ever since my cousin let me borrow Blue Version and told me to play. I was as hooked as a kid could be, and to some extent I still am. This extended from the games to the toys, as well as the anime, and eventually it settled [...]

I am a very biased Mario Kart fan. There, we got that out of the way. I’ve been going on and on about how excited I was to finally get my hands on Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS, going so far as essentially promising that I’d love it. Now that I’ve had a [...]

Every series seems to have its Black Sheep. For one reason or another, the go-to answer for the worst game in the Zelda series, besides the Zelda games on the CD-i of course, tends to be Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Why exactly does this title get so much ire from gamers and the [...]

Every year we find ourselves in the same place here, writing up on the big companies of the year and judging how well they did or didn’t accomplish the goal of being a video game company. Gus took a strong Pro Sony stance with his 2011 Sony Wrap Up, Brian was less thrilled about Microsoft’s- [...]

As you may have noticed, the schedule has been a bit strange lately. The reason for this is the strange timing of Christmas this year, coupled with Toy-TMA’s Head Writer/Editor coming down with the Black Death. Well, while I’m recovering and dealing with Christmas, I’m taking the time to think about some of the best [...]
