The college football playoff Championship took place in Miami, Alabama defeated Ohio State 52-24 to win its 7th national title. - Game Review-Sheldon Eads Pros: ​Great graphics, Great music, Decent level design, Decent %100 bonus Cons: ​Some level segments looked unpolished. Lack of save feature. New Super Mario Bros. DS​ review ​ ​A Super Comeback I have recently replayed ​New Super Mario Bros.​ on the Wii U’s Virtual Console. It’s a revival of 2D platforming for ​Mario​ which prior to it, were just ports of classic ​Mario​ games to the Game Boy Advance. It was released for the Nintendo DS in 2006. For Mario’s first new adventure in a while it was a nice comeback, though it does have serious problems. The level design itself isn’t bad nor average, I just don’t think it’s fantastic. While the game is home to great levels (Look at World 4 and World 7 for instance), a lot of them have extreme flaws that prevent me from calling this a great game. The game’s save feature is very limited and only works after you finish a Tower, Castle, or using a Warp Cannon leading to a new world. The Wii U Virtual Console release remedies this by giving you save states but the original game had no reason to not make it where you can save anytime which is a feature you only get after finishing the last level.

  • 056 – New Puzzle Videogames — 3/4
    056 – New Puzzle videogames — 3/4 Here, a succinct review of different types of puzzle videogames published between 2001 and 2020. Not in chronological order. Single character control ● Antichamber – 2013 A first-person puzzle-platform game released for Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X. Many of the puzzles are based on phenomena that occur within impossible objects created by the game engine, such as passages that lead the player to different locations depending on which way they face, and structures that seem otherwise impossible within normal three- dimensional space. The game includes elements of psychological exploration through brief messages of advice to help the player figure out solutions to the puzzles as well as adages for real life. The player controls the unnamed protagonist from a first- person perspective, in an environment full of obstacles. Upon completing a core set of puzzles, the player can access the exit door, upon which he starts to chase down a black cloudlike shape, using all the solving techniques learned before. Eventually he is able to capture the cloud as a black cube and enter a final, more expansive area, where the shape becomes a waiting shell. The shell creates a structure around it (similar to the game's logo) and sucks everything around it into its center, sending the screen to black and ending the game. ● Bobby Carrot – 2004 A video game series developed for iOS and as a WiiWare. The object of the game is to collect all of the carrots in an area and reach a point on the map that progresses the player to the next level.
