Thursday, February 11, 2010
James Burt was lucky. He snagged a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii a week early from a retailer, and in his own words, did something ” very stupid.” To prove he actually had the game to internet friends, he uploaded it to the vast internets, where 50,000 pirating gamers downloaded the game for [...]

In fact, the genre isn’t even the same. Instead of a beautifully paced, smooth, and engaging platformer, Ninja Gaiden began life [...]
