Another amazing release from the Mario Bros franchise. Somehow Nintendo continues to capture the original feel of NES’ Super Mario Bros. While introducing fun new challenges and power-ups.

I enjoy playing this game with friends. As mentioned in other reviews, I enjoy cooperative gaming and the New Super Mario Bros U does not let down. Using the Wii U Gamepad as a secondary player allows you to interact with the environment. I found myself stunning enemies and dropping power blocks to help my Mario pals.

The graphics in the New Super Mario Bros U are a beautiful blend of the Mario style we are used to and high resolution rendering that we’ve grown accustomed to in other consoles.

I don’t have much to complain about, the New Super Mario Bros U is a pretty solid game. The only thing that felt odd was the decision to move the bonus videos into the main menu, interrupting the gameplay flow. Yes, I like the bonus videos!

Don’t forget to check out the New Super Luigi U, included in the Mario Wii U bundle.

Who can say no to Mario Bros? Not me!

Bejeweled 3

Bejeweled 3 is probably the best casual game ever. Many people can look at the simple interface and recognize the classic, if not overdone, style of the Match 3 and quickly dismiss it; however, this would be a grave mistake. Bejeweled 3 pushes the limit of Match 3 to...
