Following their departure from Microsoft, Bungie’s first game was polarizing to the gaming community. While some gamers saw this as a second coming from a company that could do no wrong, others saw it as a far cry from what they got with Halo. With high expectations preceding the game’s release though, many were in…
The pixel crew talk about the best Mario games of all time and what each brought to the series.
We’re celebrating the Holidays with Top 5’s and what better way to close it out than with the Top 5 snow levels. Just about every game made has one and with a myriad of levels/worlds/zones to choose from it was quite a task to narrow it down to just 5. 5. Last of Us –…
