Get pumped for more ground-pounding, barrel-blasting, banana-hording action in the next installment of the Donkey Kong Country series. A gang of marauding Vikings are after the banana hoard and you must join Donkey Kong and his friends Dixie and Diddy to save their home. A bushel of new gameplay elements and features await as you join gaming's greatest ape in an action-packed adventure through palm-tree dotted tropics and ice-cold frozen environments. Are you ready to take on intimidating foes and defend the banana stash with the most legendary primate of them all?Reclaim Donkey Kong Island or bust. Journey through five islands with a variety of stages that include underwater areas and frozen terrain with Diddy and Dixie Kong, both playable characters who offer unique gameplay experiences. Donkey Kong's traditional moves return with a few new additions that help you explore the environment and unlock secrets, including a plucking system that lets you pull items right from the ground. Every level features twisting, turning and transforming scenery that is brilliantly displayed with the dynamic rotating camera for a thrilling gameplay experience that sucks you right into the banana-craving adventure. Get your friends in on the wild and wooly action in a cooperative multiplayer mode that lets you share the fun. The jungle is yours and no menacing Viking will keep you from going ape-wild to protect it.

A gorgeous argument for the platformer's vitality!

DKC Returns on the Wii was a ton of fun, but now that Tropical Freeze has come out, you could easily make the argument that Returns was just laying the groundwork for the real masterpiece on the Wii U. Without that obnoxious roll-mapped-to-a-controller-shake issue that damaged the entire Returns experience for a lot of people, and an expanded cast of supporting characters for the big gorilla, Retro was free to create a powerful, challenging, and compelling old-school-style video gaming experience. It's not easy, but it is fair, and that fairness keeps you coming back and burning life after life after life in the hopes of just beating one more level. And the bosses - goodness, the bosses! As challenging as anything I've faced in the 21st century of gaming! Super Nintendo purists, be warned: this isn't just as good as the old Donkey Kong Country games; Tropical Freeze is better.

A satire so good it lives long & prospers today!

Galaxy Quest is easily the best Star Trek movie made since First Contact, or maybe even Undiscovered Country. Its understanding and adoration for its "source" material produced one of the warmest, funniest, exciting adventures a group of untested misfits ever went on. I know there's no hope for the adventure to ever continue of TV, but a fan can always dream...
The blu ray, too, is a serious step up in picture and sound quality from the DVD. As David Newman's rousing score never got a proper CD release, this is the best quality at which we're likely ever to hear it.

What is there left to say about Gravity? Cuaron made one of the most technically ambitious films of the 21st century and built it around one of our best actresses - it works on every level. And, goodness, the music; Gravity has one of the most effective scores I've heard in years.
The making-of documentary included on the disc is so comprehensive and fascinating that it almost runs the risk of imparting too much information, but it certainly enhances your appreciation for what the film accomplished.

Grand spectacle carried by the cast

The first Thor skated by mostly on charm - Chris Hemsworth & Tom Hiddleston's, specifically. After a steady uptick in the quality of the Marvel films, we were all hoping that Thor 2 could take some of the lessons learned from Cap/Avengers/Iron Man 3 and really go to work, giving the God of Thunder and his associates a cosmic-level crisis into which they could dig their teeth, underpinned by some better material for the characters we'd come to love.
Well, The Dark World definitely succeeds in raising the stakes, both in regards to danger, and the presentation of that danger, but it still feels more like we're seeing points checked off a list than an actual story unfold onscreen. Everything moves faster this time, but too fast for anything to leave much of an impact. When you have your bad guys played by actors as accomplished as Christopher Eccleston and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, you want them to savor their villainy, to be able to relish in their presence, but instead they glower in the darkness, with barely enough time to articulate their motivations, let alone craft characters.
But, really, we're not watching Thor for thoughtful musings on the nature of power, or good and evil, or the advent of a Darth Vader-ian bad guy, but for a pair of brothers, to see if their bond of family can really be severed by lies and betrayal. Every complaint about The Dark World fades away when Hemsworth and Hiddleston are onscreen - the film snaps to life when Thor and Loki stand together. The strength of the Marvel films has really been in their casting, and these two are some of the brightest shining lights in the sky.
Actually, the whole cast of humans & Asgardians is utilized darn well here - even Renee Russo, whom I'd honestly forgotten was even in the first Thor. All of our heroes, and their friends, get at least a moment to shine (usually in one of The Dark World's many spectacular action setpieces), and for us to remember why we liked them so much in the first film.
Marvel also keeps up their burgeoning tradition of quality extras on their home-media releases; the short film one-shot, "All Hail The King," is hilarious and thrilling. All in all, Thor: The Dark World is immensely satisfying, if still less than it could've been.

It's nice that they have the software set up so that you can just take a picture of the code on the card, rather than type (or mistype) it in anymore.

Players have been going on daring adventures with Link for more than two decades. An instant classic, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super NES, introduced gamers to a storyline that has been rejuvenated with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. With new features and an enhanced look, you'll love embarking on a new journey with Link.Link is setting off on another adventure in Hyrule, but this time he has some new abilities under his belt. Transform into a "drawing" and move along the walls of dungeons, so you can explore locations Link could never reach before and open up new puzzle elements for thrilling gameplay challenges. The amazing visuals and 60 frames per second transform the 2D world and enhance it with elevation and depth for an experience the reinvents the classic. The 3DS also allows more freedom with customized settings — just touch and drag items from the item window and switch them with what are assigned to the X and Y buttons.

It's terribly likely that anybody who played Link to the Past on the SNES has a soft spot for it in their heart. Nintendo finally decided to take advantage of that with this years-in-the-hoping sequel that caltures almost all the magic of the original, and adds a few little twists for good measure.

The wind blows freely down the corridor of what was once a canyon of skyscrapers populated by million-dollar businesses, employees in suits and citizens on cell phones. A constant stream of yellow taxi cabs used to flow steadily down the asphalt streets. Now, Mother Nature has reclaimed what was hers, and vegetation engulfs the massive cities in patches. A modern plague outsmarted our civilized medicine, so now our cities now lie abandoned, and what's left of the American population is forced to do whatever it takes to survive. Neighbors who were friends, now kill each other for a loaf of bread — or a rifle — whatever they can get their hands on to help them live another day. In this decimated democracy, two individuals join up to work together in order and attempt the dangerous journey across the country. Will these two be able to survive the trek — or will they be The Last of Us?Developed by Naughty Dog, the creators of the popular Uncharted franchise, comes The Last of Us. Carefully blending elements of survival and action, The Last of Us defines a genre by placing you in the heart of the adventure to outlast a modern plague on your journey across the decimated United States. Playing as Joel, a survivor, and Ellie, a teenage girl who is much braver and wiser than her age would suggest, you must work together to fend off dangerous foes, terrifying enemies and other survivors who will do anything to save themselves. Every minute of every hour of every day is a struggle to outlive the next person you encounter — do you have the mental and physical strength to make it?

A gorgeous, brilliant apocalypse.

I think games can either be experiential or strict narratives, and of late, I've really been more of an advocate for experiential games. If you want to tell a story, write a book or make a movie. If you want to put someone in a world and give them an experience, make a game (Super Mario 64 vs. Heavy Rain, basically). I thought I'd codified my opinion pretty well, until I picked up The Last of Us.
I've described the game to some friends as a movie I played, which is usually how I open when I'm complaining, but not with this game. Naughty Dog did such a good job crafting a world, building its characters, and giving me a well-defined, responsive system with which I could interact with them, that it was anything but a complaint. If anything, this was like a movie I had to live through, making it substantially more harrowing and emotionally engaging. I may have been on rails, but I didn't mind, because what I could do between them was so compelling I didn't need to go beyond them.
The Last of Us reminded me of what a game can do when it takes you down a path, rather than welcome you to scamper around pell-mell. For that alone, I loved it.
