As it happens, reviews aren’t the only thing I’ve been up to; I’ve been writing a few things for 1UP as well. David OxfordDavid Oxford, or “LBD ‘Nytetrayn’,” as he is sometimes also known, is a freelance writer of many varied interests who resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. If you’re interested in hiring him, please […]

Wow, it’s been a little while since I last shared my reviews from elsewhere with you guys. Time to fix that! On Slide to Play: Rayman Jungle Run – Undoubtedly the best of the lot. If you have an iPhone, I cannot recommend this any more highly. And yes, the theme from the trailer above […]

Nothing too big here, but I made a bit of an oversight in my “Building a Better Mario Kart” article from a couple of days ago, and I have just finished adding it in. If you wanted to know without reading (or re-reading the whole thing), I added two items to the end: One is […]

Much as I love Mario Kart, it’s not perfect, and I feel that SEGA’s Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has overall managed to surpass it as a more enjoyable, more competitive, and overall more skill-based experience. The sequel, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is coming in November, and looks like it will have the unique […]

As mentioned at the end of my previous post, I really enjoy Mario Kart. More than anything, the characters, vehicles, and tracks tend to stand out for me. Here are some of my favorites. Characters: Mario Kart has seen a lot of characters over the years. I remember gravitating towards Yoshi in the first game, […]

Will I ever get a tribute up on time? Probably not on this site. Still, one day late (by a short margin) is better than never, I suppose. Today’s honor is the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Kart in North America (with Japan’s coming out only a few days prior). And this […]

Matt Green over at Press the Buttons recently came upon and posted the above piece of artwork by Michael Julius Peterson on deviantART, “Yoshi’s Island of Dreams.” He notes that “this is not a real Yoshi game, but it should be” while drawing comparisons between the composition of this piece and the art from Super […]

It pleases me to finally be able to reveal to you my latest work, which is also my debut writing for 1UP: “The Many Versions, Ports, and Re-Releases of Super Mario Bros.” What’s funny is that while the 1UP staff did a splendid job in bringing everything together with my words, there is a little […]

This ain’t no game. This ain’t no movie. This is something else.

It’s The Legend of Zelda art, and it’s really rad.

In the above video posted to YouTube by user CooperMcHatton (via GoNintendo), we see Charles Martinet say at an autograph signing at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con that he would love to see another Super Mario Sunshine game. And I have to say that I’m of mixed feelings about this. David OxfordDavid Oxford, or “LBD […]

Hmm, update time… what to do? I don’t want to do another review just yet; I’m doing some of those on Mario’s Hat (look for them this week) and Slide to Play already, and I don’t feel like more. Ah, I know! I’ve been holding on to this one for some time; it was meant […]
