Video Game Review: “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D” — Worthy of a Cult

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is the video game version of Groundhog’s Day — you’re Bill Murray, and it’s brilliant.

Video Game Review: The Super Smash Bros. Are Back — Better Than Ever

Whether you are new or returning to the Super Smash Bros. series as a veteran, get this title on the Wii U and skip the 3DS version — unless you absolutely have to have the game on-the-go.

Video Game Commentary: The Ideology of “Angry Birds” — Back to “Animal Farm”

The mega-popular video game Angry Birds is nothing if not hypocritical. A story of political and moral resistance is packaged to fill corporate coffers.
