I've played Melee competitively for about 4 years, so my initial impressions of the game (on imported versions in past weeks) were disappointing when taken from that perspective. Playing through my o ... |

I'm living right near UIC, where I attend school, and it's just this boring little island. I didn't know any other places to live, so I settled on an apartment here that I'll be glad to leave in July ... |

What these games need to do more of is making memorable little ways of introducing your new abilities and making them feel like a part of the 'story'. Rather than just something that happens 'becaus ... |

I really enjoyed this issue, even more so than usual because I'm such a fan of the Mario series. I wish I had known that Mario was central to the issue because I have a piece I wrote in a literary cr ... |

I've read some fan fiction for both anime and videogames and I find that the quality of each piece is a direct relationship to the author's understanding of the characters. If the author can find out ... |

I actually pre-ordered this earlier today. The folks at EB tell me that I can get it on 10/10. I'm not really interested in that kind of wait.
