Mario Kart: Double Dash was a game released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube. It featured a first time ability in the series, allowing two racers to race on one kart against other teams of two. You had your classic Mario and Luigi or Peach and Daisy teams, but you could mix it up a little. You could use Bowser and Mario, or Baby Luigi and Bowser Jr. The possibilities were endless....
Any franchise that’s spanned more than a single decade is going to have an imbalanced cast. That’s just the natural course of writing a serialized story for so long. Characters come and go, dynamics change, and audiences move on along with time. With a series like Pokémon, that often means that once beloved characters go ignored for years at a time. Some have been ignored in the anime, in the games, and others shortly after their introduction....
While many Nintendo franchises are already well represented on Switch, fans still await a modern rendition of perhaps the biggest racing franchise from the Big N outside Mario Kart, F-Zero. While the aforementioned kart racer offers plenty of fun, it doesn’t quite have that flashy future motif or adrenaline-pumping speed to satiate some F-Zero fans. Given that we haven’t seen a new console racer featuring Captain Falcon and friends since GameCube’s GX in ‘03, it would seem we’re due....

The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is an expensive one indeed. Not only are there lots of things to buy (or buy off)— stuff like clothes, weapons, and bounties— but income is virtually non-existent. You play as outlaw Arthur Morgan, who is a member of the infamous Van der Linde gang. The only thing is that the gang (by virtue of being a gang) doesn’t really have a reliable or steady source of income....
At one point or another, every consumer is going to disagree with a reviewer. Regardless of a critic’s honest endeavors to remain objective, it is impossible to thoroughly eliminate subjectivity from a personal review. Despite being a concept understood by all, fun is equally dependent on the recipient as it is on the supplier. While a game might garner nothing but gold stars from critics, there is no guarantee a customer will agree with the general consensus....

“I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel.” Charlie Brown’s admission of his Seasonal Affective Disorder, followed by Linus’ harsh rebuttal, isn’t how you would expect one of the most beloved Christmas television traditions of all time to open. It’s amazing how melancholy and introspective A Charlie Brown Christmas is. There are few references to presents, Santa is hardly mentioned, and there’s a fairly solemn and thoughtful reading from the Gospel of Luke right in the middle of it....
