Super Mario 3DS My initial thoughts.

Great graphics.

Great animations.

Great presentation.

Great everything.

(Still don't know if the gameplay is great; as the game itself has not been released.) ; )

One thing that did strike me; was the speed at which Mario himself would walk, or "run."

It seems like Mario's overalls have been filled with lead, or some other heavy material. Seriously, he's slow.

However, I would imagine that this change to Mario's speed is to compensate for much smaller worlds; as opposed to Mario Galaxy.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Ah, Deus Ex. Certainly one of the most overlooked series of all time. They are not without their loyal fans, and you can can't me as one. With that said; one can't help but let themselves worry about this new iteration of the series. Sure, it looks great, but that's as much as we are currently allowed to know.

From what we've seen; it does follow the open ended theme that made the original games so great. That doesn't mean that game is set, and ready to become an instant classic. There are many other factors that will contribute to how the game is received. Even if the game is open-ended...that alone won't make it a great experience.

The jury is still out on this one. It should turn out into something superb. That, or a fools attempt of cashing in on a great license.

Future epic, or cash-in?

Congratulations!

Another giveaway will happen eventually, but I want to know what the audience would like. So, I'm putting up a poll! Do not forget to vote! It will affect the outcome of the next giveaway!

Poll is located to the right of this post.

No Pikmin for 3DS? Why not? Have Pikmin for Wii U instead!

Pikmin for Wii U!

By now, everyone may have heard of the news. A new Pikmin sequel has been announced, and it's for the Wii U. Many Pikmin fans were sure that a new Pikmin related game would be released for the 3DS; even I thought so.

It seems Nintendo will be focusing more on bringing great first party titles to the Wii U. That's great. Great, but I still want some Pikmin for the 3DS! I'm not the only individual out there who was thinking about the possibilities.

Perhaps, something will be unveiled, but I don't see it happening as of now.

Free Microsoft points giveaway update!

As of now; I am waiting for more people to join.

For those of you that don't know here's the link to the original blog post.

Hurry up and participate! Microsoft Points give away!

3DS VS PSP Vita

Who will win?

Well, the obvious choice would be the 3DS. I mean; who knows what secret projects are in the works for their handheld?

As far as the new PSP goes; things aren't looking that great on the software front. Only a handful of titles have been announced that are noteworthy on my opinion. It's highly likely that this will change, and we will see some great new titles for the new sony handheld.

That, or we can have a massive Amount of ps3 ports. That would be a bad thing.

The First Summer

Thanks to Erasmo Cortez

Leaving my kids at home all day during the summer was something I never really thought about doing before now. Each year leading up to last summer we’ve always sent all three of them to summer camp camp and they absolutely loved it since they got to get away for a few weeks and learn valuable things about getting along with others and being in the woods and whatnot. Anyway, I lost my job last March and ever since we just haven’t had enough money for some of the things we used to do and camp was one of them. I talked to my sons about how to take care of the house during the day and my husband and I got HOMESECURITY101.com/ alarms so we wouldn’t have to worry about someone breaking in or them leaving the house but I’m still pretty nervous during the days. I love my kids and it’s my responsibility to take care of them but now that I’ve got this part time job I really can’t risk losing it.
