Game Reviews: Super Mario World

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series. For me, LoZ defines me as a gamer. That being said, I am (as a Nintendo fan) no stranger to the importance of a certain Italian plumber and his adventures. Super Mario World was a launch title for the Super Nintendo […]

Film Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

My stepdaughter bought this film as an early Father’s Day gift, and having watched it, let’s offer up a review! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or ‘Hero’ Turtles as the cartoon was back in the 90s) formed a big part of my childhood. The show was huge, and spawned three feature films, and over the years […]
