Pokemon X and Y review

The long awaited 6th generation of Pokemon arrived last week with Pokemon X and Y. This shows the first entrance of Pokemon into 3D in its main series. A great story, amazing mechanics, and drastic visual changes make this a must have for any Pokemon fan whether young or old. The weakest point is the story which gives no innovation pertaining to the feel of the game. The changes with the fairy type increase the overall experience and balance out the game where we thought it was balanced. Overall a great game X and Y are nearly a perfect 9/10.

Game Review- Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 is known to be one of the best games of all times. Released on September 26, 1996 for the Nintendo 64 system this game alone transformed the concept of 3D gaming worlds. The concept of the game was easy like any other Mario game made before, save the princess and defeat your nemesis Bowser. It had, however, mechanics never seen before. A fully realized 3 Dimensional world letting the player roam around for as long as he wanted. This game set the standards for this new type of game but also introduced something else, an over-world. This over-world is what made Mario 64 so special. You could practice, run around, swim, climb trees, anything you could imagine. The music was also considerably good for the time using the 64's improved sound chip. One could say that the only thing lacking was difficulty as the game was pretty easy to beat for older folks. All around I give Mario a 9/10 being one of the best games of all time.
