All mainline Super Mario games in chronological order

Thank You so Much-a For Playing my Games! Super Mariois a series that doesn’t need any introduction. Mario may not have invented the platforming genre, but the series did pull from those that came before it to create the blueprint for both 2D and 3D platformers, transforming Nintendo into the Goliath of the company it is today. The series has become the gold standard for the genre and still continues to advance and perfect it to this day....

Arcane still couldn’t convince me to give League of Legends another try

It made for a fun watch, though I’ve only ever playedLeague of Legendsonce in my life. Story time: I was working a small event where they were holding a tournament, but they didn’t have enough people to play, so I got roped in even though I had never touched the game in my life (I had at this point played a bit ofHeroes of the Stormafter my friends insisted a few months prior, and decided that MOBAs weren’t really my thing)....

BattleBit Remastered is a low-poly, high player-count FPS that’s a blast

Back to basics BattleBit Remasteredis not something I would’ve normally leapt into, at first blush. The low-poly, almostRoblox-like character models made me think that its sudden popularity on the Steam charts might be a flash in the pan. But overlookingBattleBiton aesthetics alone would’ve meant missing out on rediscovering a piece of the FPS landscape I’d thought lost. I loved oldBattlefield. The World War II iterations were my first introduction, but there are few shooters I’ve put as much time into as my family did onBattelfield 2....

It took one hour to remake Flappy Bird

It looks pretty good Depending on who you ask,Flappy Birdis either a sign of everything that’s wrong with the phone gaming, a strangely compelling piece of junk, the ultimate game development Cinderella story, or some combination of the three. Now that’s all a memory. The iOS hit was taken down by creatorDong Nguyena few hours ago, presumably forever. Thankfully, Joe Shanahan has remade the game.
