Too Much Awesome

I just rewatched Toy Story 3, so I’m in an extremely nostalgic mood today. Going with the feeling, I decided to pay a visit to my parents’ home and snag my bins of action figures from The Long, Long Ago. Yes, I have a Buzz Lightyear, and a Woody, but neither of those are my [...]

Since I haven’t been keeping up with Games You Should Have Played as much as I’d like to, and since I’m currently replaying said game currently mentioned, I want to hit more in-depthly on a title I’ve spoken only briefly about in the past: Golden Sun. It was one of the five Game Boy Advance [...]

The holiday season is only one more week away. You know what that means? Time for us at Toy-TMA to put down our Wii Motes and Dualshocks for a while (don’t worry we’ll come back to them), and find some new activity to spend some time with our friends and family on reality’s level. For [...]

Here we are in the center of Board Game Week at Toy-TMA and following up 13 Dead End Drive’s relative obscurity I’m breaking out another game from my childhood that most of you have probably never heard of: Spy Web. What is Spy Web? Oh, that’s a good question, so let’s jump right into it, [...]

Guess what comes out on the 31st? Metroid: Other M. I’ll have a review for that eventually, but in the meantime, I wanted to take the time to write about my experiences with the Metroid series, a series that is seriously fantastic. It may be surprisingly, but the Metroid series has in recent years become [...]

I’ve been thinking about Pokemon a lot lately. Part of this is because of the nice commenters on the Best Of and Worst Of Pokemon lists I posted a while ago. People were mad about which ten I liked best, and equally mad about the ten I liked least. So I figured I’d finally come [...]

Computers were nothing more than an advanced video game system when I was a young boy. My brother had his sports games (“NBA Jam” mostly) and I had “Star Wars: Tie Fighter.” Released in 1994, “Tie Fighter” was the sequel to “Star Wars: X-Wing” and was the first Star Wars game that put you in [...]

Funny how toys come about, isn’t it? As we all learned last week, Mr. Potato Head started as cereal prizes attached to real vegetables. A similar history surrounds the foam-based line of projectile (toy) weapons and soft sports balls: Nerf.

The idea of all my favorite Nintendo stars fighting each other in one big game was a concept I never imagined would become a reality. Even now I’m a little skeptical that it really exists, and furthermore, that it’s straight-up awesome. But somehow Super Smash Bros is a real thing and for that I couldn’t [...]

If there’s any series I love more than Mario, it’s the Legend of Zelda. I’ve been a fan for years now and I’m guaranteed to play each new title as it comes out, regardless of my preference for the art style or any other factors. I just have to play me some Zelda. Well, as [...]
