Too Much Awesome

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 [...]

Today, we at Toy-TMA bid farewell to the fond memories of 2011 and look forward to a whole new year on the horizon. 2012, Year of Democratic elections, Disaster predictions, and the Dragon (gotta love the dragon). Will the year be dramatically dangerous, or disappointingly dismal? I don’t know. But in the mean time, it [...]

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- [...]

One of the biggest titles out right now, and probably Nintendo’s biggest title this year, is undoubtedly Skyward Sword, the newest installment in the long running Zelda franchise. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and as you’ve noticed, I’ve yet to write a review yet. Well, I wouldn’t expect a full review any [...]

I am, quite simply, a Mario fan through and through. There hasn’t been a Mario game I haven’t liked, even Mario spin-off games like the Party series or any of his sports titles (perhaps not counting Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games). But after playing Super Mario 3D Land and loving it, I started [...]

There’s no getting around the fact that I’m a Mario fan. It will inevitably paint everything I say in reviews of either any Mario game or any game that Mario would be rather comfortable in (that being platforming, kart racing, and arcade-style sports). It shouldn’t then come as a surprise that when Super Mario 3D [...]

Need some new games but don’t want to spend a lot? Xbox Live Indie games will fit the bill and your budget.

If there’s one thing I love, it’s Pokemon. The series, despite doing its best to stagnate, is just as good as it’s always been. However, there’s one place that it’s still lacking entirely: A real Pokemon game on a major console rather than a handheld. We’ve got a few tries, such as Pokemon Stadium 1 [...]

It’s been a few months since I broke down and purchased a 3DS, but it only dawned on me yesterday that while I have played through The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, I’ve yet to give my full impressions of the title. Well, Zelda is still going through its wonderful 25th anniversary, so [...]
