Top Nintendo 3DS LEGO Games
For years now, the Lego video game series has infused classic stories with over the top humor and fun couch co-op. With new installments every year, and more features added, there seems to be no end in sight for this childish yet alluring franchise. Sometimes, when modern gaming culture becomes overly cluttered with in app purchases and loot, its nice to journey to the the most recognizable of worlds for some light hearted takes on our favorite legends. Thankfully, most of the lego series can be played on the go if you don't feel like a lego game is a good use of hard drive space on your console. And what better way to bolster your already stellar 3DS Library than with some classic stories? Here are the top Nintendo 3DS Lego Games.

Digimon Rumble Arena
Digimon started off as virtual pet toys in the early 1990's and has been converted to many various other formats ever since including the famous anime, movies, video games and the not so well-known books. The popularity of the new series, Digimon Adventure Tri has breathed new life into old characters and brought in new merchandise for the franchise, proving very much that it is not dead.

Everquest Landmark
Everquest Landmark was an ambitious game. It was created to be a game focused on creating content for another game, Everquest Next. The idea was to give players the tools to create a variety of new buildings and objects and then choose the best to include in the upcoming Everquest Next.

Top Nintendo 3DS Games for Kids
If we are honest with ourselves, kids are the primary market in the gaming world. They are the ones who make sure Mario and other major characters stay popular, and there are tons of game groups that work to keep games kid-friendly because of the fact that they know parents will be more likely to buy games if they're clean.

Best Nintendo 3DS Games for Gamers
Gaming seems to have two schools of thought. Some people see it as a good way to pass the time, and others basically see it as a gaming lifestyle that requires the most elite skill and gaming accessories possible. If you're in the latter school of thought, then you probably don't have a very high opinion of the Nintendo 3DS.

'Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories' Review
Continuing off from the last review that I did with Kingdom Hearts I we move onto the next in the timeline for the series, Chain of Memories. Originally this was a GBA game released in 2004 which was 2D but I never experienced it on this format. Later it was redone and made into a 3D adventure RPG game, similar to how the first game looked with its graphics. The first remake was made in 2007 as a second disc for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ in Japan and making its way to North America in 2008 as a standalone title. Australia and Europe weren't lucky enough to play Chain of Memories until the 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix came out.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMix Review
This is a clash of Disney, Final Fantasy, and RPG all rolled up into one nice little package. If any one of those raises an eyebrow, then this may very well be a game for you. I'm a little late on doing a review for this due to the game being released originally back in 2002, but it has been what my world has revolved around lately and it has been my main focus to platinum all of the Kingdom Hearts games on my PS4, in preparation for the (eventual) release of Kingdom Hearts 3.

Last week we saw the rise of the ZX Spectrum, which coincided with the demise of the Atari 2600. We looked at the perils of cassette-based physical media, and how the speccy’s ‘open’ system allowed for the first modding scene, and the beginning of indie gaming.

Mass Defective or Not? In Defense of Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda. So many Youtube videos I've watched and posts I've read online have gone to town on the game, most of the criticism being aimed at wonky character models and animations, while some have also been critical of the story and the characters not being as good as the characters from the previous trilogy. And while I can't say that some of their points aren't valid, I do feel that some of the players were a bit harder on the game than it needed to be, and in fact, I feel like their overabundance of criticism and the response that Bioware had—to put the game on the shelf rather than doing anything else—was the wrong reaction. It wasn't wrong that they disliked the game, no—they have every right to. But, I feel that maybe their expectations were a bit too high going into it, and that these high expectations led to the game falling apart.
