Childhood Memories

Growing up in the late 90's was a miraculous time to be a kid, all the best cartoons, the best music and the best food, but most all the best part of the 90's were the games. My brother and I would sit in my room for hours playing the Super Nintendo. There were many games growing up that I share a deep personal connection to but my favourite one was a game called Killer Instinct. Killer Instinct was a fighting game released for the Super Nintendo in August 1995. The game was hailed the number 1 fighter of 1995, and was the fan favourite as well.

My fondest memories of the game are of my brother getting so frustrated because he would try and use all the combos while I would just button mash and end up beating him every time or do something that he tried for hours to do. A couple of months ago I was thinking back about my childhood and remembered that glorious game. I remembered that I still had my Super Nintendo up in my attic, so I ran up to the attic dug it out and hooked it up to my t.v. I called up some friends and we had some tournaments playing a game from the 90's. When a game that old can still be as fun as any other game than you know that it is truly a great game and it has earned its place among the best games of all time.

Mass Effect 3 review..reviewed

My life forever changed on March 6th 2012, the epic trilogy known as Mass Effect came to an end. This was one of the most anticipated games for years. with such great anticipation there was alot of expectations and im glad to say that Mass Effect 3 exceeded all expectations. Gameinformer is possibly the most trusted game website on the Internet, because they do no favors giving games a high score, they tell the truth and hold nothing back. Andrew Reiner of Gameinformer gave a perfect review of the game giving it a 10/10. He speaks of how during this game it really gets to you and your emotions will go crazy because of the thrilling campaign. "This dark tale wraps up all of the trilogy’s loose ends and delivers one of the most powerful video games experiences to date". This last quote basically sums up the whole review. I would definitely recommend this game to any living person that has ever played a video game, but in my own personal opinion you should go back and play the first two first.
