Gamer Goodybag

 Welcome back fellow nerds, we are now on entry 7 of this blog! There are not many entries left to go after this and while it will be sad to say goodbye to the blog, it has been a nice little experience I am glad I got to try out so thank you to those who decided to stick along with me if you have. Anyways, let's dive in to our game of discussion today. Today we will be discussing Mario Kart Double Dash for the Nintendo GameCube released in 2003. Now Mario is a character that needs absolutely no introduction regardless on how familiar one is with the gaming industry. Ever since he was created in 1981 by Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto he has become a cultural icon spawning hundreds and hundreds of games for countless systems and platforms for over 40 years, not to mention the countless amount of merchandise, TV shows, movies, and theme park attractions that have been created as a result of the series success. The reasons for his success boil down to many factors but the key one her...

 Welcome back nerds and nerdettes! Unfortunately due to a busy schedule this week this entry is probably going to be the shortest one so far, but not to worry I have selected a fantastic game to discuss today.

 Welcome back nerds and nerdettes, it has been a while due to the school holiday and being busy with assignments and work but now we are finally starting review 5 today. How exciting! I do not have much to say before we start so lets get right into it. Today's review is another favorite of mine that I played growing up, and is based on one of my favorite characters of all time. Today we will be looking at Pacman World 2 (Specifically the original Xbox version but the game is also available on PS2, GameCube, PC, and Gameboy Advance) released in 2002. Pacman is a character who has no need for an introduction, if you have ever been to an arcade or a retro video game store, you have seen this lovable little guy in some form. Debuting in 1980, Pacman was created by Toru Iwatani in Japan as a game that would be easily accessible for all gamers, regardless of gender or age. For the past 43 years he has been an icon in the gaming industry, but while most people mainly know him for his arca...
