Too Much Wii, Not Enough U?

Miyamoto Names His Favorite Mario Game, and I Couldn’t Be Happier

Nintendo Power Vol. 279 – June 2012

At Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference, two new Mario games were shown off: New Super Mario Bros. U for Wii U and New Super Mario Bros. 2 for Nintendo 3DS. And make no mistake, I'm excited for both; New Super Mario Bros. U looks and is said to be bringing back some...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate: Simon Gets His Due
I played the first Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, though I did not finish it. Partway in, I just began to feel a little "meh" on the whole thing. "Perhaps," I thought, "this reboot is not for me." So it was much to my surprise when word emerged of a new Castlevania for...
Mario Tennis Open Review Now Available
I just wanted to let everyone know that my review of Mario Tennis Open is now available at the Toronto Video Game Examiner. Scoring this one was tough, and in the end, I'm still not sure whether I made the right call or not. Examiner uses a hard 5-point scale-- no...
ConsoleCreature & GameTrailers Look at Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Though I may not have said as much about it here, I've made no secret that Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is one of my favorite games-- period. And in the kart-racing arena, I honestly feel that SEGA and Sumo Digital have managed to craft a product which actually...
From the Other Side: Nintendo’s E3 Press Conference
Here we are, the final console maker conference. Let me start once again with full disclosure: The Wii was my second console after my PS3. I also bought a DS far into its life span, and far after a PSP. There are few games Nintendo itself publishes anymore that...
From the Other Side: Sony’s E3 Press Conference

And now, presenting a counterpoint to my own thoughts on E3 2012's press conferences is Lanceheart: Let me start off with full disclosure: I didn't own a 360 until very recently. As a result, my immediate attachment toward many Xbox-exclusive franchises is fairly low....
E3 2012 – My Thoughts on: Nintendo’s Press Conference
And in the end, there was one. And speaking of one, of the big three conferences at E3 2012 this year, Nintendo's is the only one for which GameSpot requires me to enter my birthdate. Go figure. So, full disclosure? Well, I'm not sure I really need to-- just look at...
E3 2012 – My Thoughts on: Sony’s Press Conference
Next up on our three-hour tour (well, more like four and a half or so...) is Sony. Unlike Microsoft, which I watched later, I saw this one firsthand as it happened live on Spike. Or was it G4? Well, somewhere. Delving back into the full-disclosure bit: I do not own a...
E3 2012 – My Thoughts on: Microsoft’s Press Conference
Here we go, looking back at the "big three" press conferences from E3 2012, and going over what worked for me, and what didn't. First up: Microsoft. On a personal note, I feel the need to mention that I do own an Xbox 360 and rather enjoy it. I don't game enough...

It took far longer than I imagined, but here, during the week of E3, PoisonMushroom.Org is finally back! Well, mostly. We're still fine-tuning a few things here and there, making some tweaks, adding some new stuff, but this is more or less the new site. Snazzy, huh? A...
State of PMO Address – 12/13/11
Okay, so it's been a little while since I last updated here, and as you may have noticed, Twitter digest updates have ceased as well. And, if you can see this, I figure that perhaps I owe you a little bit of an explanation. The past few months have been something of a...
