Kobo Libra 2 review: A lightweight yet powerful e-reader

I may not be quite at the level of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, but nevertheless, I consider myself an avid reader. When I was little, I lined up my stuffed animals and dolls daily and read to them.

Review: Mario Party Superstars

It’s only been a few short months since Mario Party Superstars was first announced, and yet the wait has felt a lot longer than that. Maybe the prospect of a classically-styled Mario Party was simply appealing or perhaps the idea that the original games were being brought into the modern era was just that exciting. At any rate, Mario Party Superstars is here at last, and it might’ve actually managed to live up to the hype....

Review: Tetris Forever is Eye-Opening Look Back at One of Gaming's Greatest IPs

Of the many quotable lines of dialogue you may pick out, it’s fitting that the opening quote upon boot up of Tetris Forever may well be its most powerful: “Tetris is the one game that’s still going to be around when all the other games are gone.” As uttered by none other than Henk Rogers himself – the man who, as the game itself so comically refers to: a Dutch-born, Japan-native, English-speaking extrovert somehow winding up in the Soviet Union – it’s a statement of immense boldness but undeniable fact as to the cultural, commercial and mechanical genius that this series has long succeeded on....
