Super Mario: A Super Game

With countless iterations and more than 20 years in the industry Mario has definitely become one of the most beloved video-games characters in the world. This fact gives Nintendo every reason to make yet another version of the classic game.

This game follows the same timeline as all the others. Mario is on a mission to save Princess Peach from Bowser and Bowser Jr. Surprisingly the repetitive timeline hasn't gotten old. There are all new twists, turns and power-ups. If you play the game the right way you won't just be going one way on the timeline. You'll have to go back and fourth to do various things; from saving one of the Mushroom men to earning more points.

Gameplay is really simple. You hold the remote horizontally and use the directional keys and the "1" and "2" keys. I actually felt more comfortable holding the remote like this than the normal way. The difficulty of the game is fair. It's easy enough for my 8 year old brother to play but hard enough to keep me entertained. The only thing you have to really practice is the timing of your jumping because if you don't you'll most likely miss your target and lose a life.

Whether you want to reminisce or get a taste of Mario then this game is definitely for you.

Nintendo went above and beyond with this game which is why I'm giving it:

★★★★★

5 out of 5 stars.

Relieve Some Stress

This time of year is extremely stressing. It's when we have so many tests and are bombarded with homework. Although I can't run away from all the stress I did find a way to lessen what I already have. It's a website called OMGpop that offers a diverse range of games. They are so addictive and sadly for me the website tells the amount of hours you have played (So far 14 hours and 10 minutes; that's a lot of stress relieving huh?). Two of my favorite games are Balloono and LetterBlox. They are the games that I have spent the most time on and what keep me the most entertained.

Balloono was the first game that I found on the site. You act as a little monkey that drops balloons that break crates; when some crates break there are power-ups that are revealed. They allow you to drop more balloons, go faster, and have a farther range. After getting as many power-ups as you can, you start going after the other monkeys. The last monkey standing is the winner.

In LetterBlox, you are given six different letters that you have to make into as many words as possible.If you get stuck and don't see any words you can hit space to shuffle the letters. You have a set amount of time so you have to type really fast. Although Balloono is the most fun game this is the most addictive. I played for an hour trying to get in first place and it only happened once. The key to winning is knowing how to touch type and of course having a gigantesque vocabulary. Needless to say I am working on both.

Check out the site and tell me what your favorite game is... and while you're there
