Paper Mario: The Origami King-The Mario Game that Broke My Heart

Posted on December 19, 2020December 29, 2020 by paigethemage

I have to be completely honest, I have failed to play a Paper Mario game until this year’s release on the Nintendo Switch. To be frank, I was pretty young and unemployed when the Nintendo 64 and GameCube versions came out…..even the Wii game (if I want to be honest, I was newly out of […]

Celeste: The Game Where I Died Over 1K Times and Almost Broke My Switch

Posted on August 15, 2020December 22, 2020 by paigethemage

Yes I must admit, this game gave me massive gamer rage, but it also is one of the best indie games I have ever played. The music is amazingly composed, the characters are quirky and relatable and the game is hard in all the right ways; meaning, yes you will likely die a lot (if […]

This game couldn’t have come at a better time. The world is going through a global shutdown and many of us are left wondering what the future will hold.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Posted on March 10, 2020June 21, 2020 by paigethemage

Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening originally came out for the Nintendo GameBoy in 1993. Growing up, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me a GameBoy and the only time I played games on this system was when my next door neighbor let me borrow his, in exchange for letting him use the old Electronic games […]

Luigi’s Mansion 3

Posted on February 7, 2020June 21, 2020 by paigethemage

Luigi is back again with his trusty Poltgergust 3000 bringing down ghosts in this follow up to the 3DS title, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. I was definitely excited about this title. I never owned a GameCube as a kid but managed to pick up the first game years later. I fell in love with the […]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: Black Order Review

Posted on February 5, 2020June 21, 2020 by paigethemage

It’s been almost ten years since the last Marvel Ultimate Alliance game was released. I played the first installment of the franchise back on the PS2 and the second on the Wii (yes it has been that long!) The games were amazing, most notably for their multiplayer action, great character designs, perfectly casted voices and story line. […]
