Starcraft 2: The WoW killer.


I have been playing Starcraft since early 2000 and World of Warcraft since, whenever BC came out. Both are great games and have a replay value of forever... or so I thought. Turns out, WoW can get boring after playing hardcore for 4 years or so. But Starcraft, much like other PvP games (Yes I know WoW has PvP but PvP takes a shit ton of time and friends to get into.) I can't get enough of. I've been playing starcraft 2 quite literally, as much as I used to Play WoW, and I still suck, but I don't care. Of course as any WoW player knows, the itch comes back in like a month after you cancel your subscription. So i'll be back in azeroth soon to down Ragnaros once I finish this epic Terran v Terran stalemate cause seigetanks and valkeries.


tl;dr

I quit WoW for SC2

This of course is to prelude the release of Heart of the Swarm.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Don't you love Friday updates?


I remember when this game first came out in 1998; carrying something as big as the Legend of Zelda on something as small as a GameBoy seemed like magic at the time, where did Nintendo shove all the memory into the cartridge? Unfortunatley for me, all my friends got it around the time of its release while I had to wait until next year to get the game. After the long wait was over, I finally got my hands on the latest edition to the Legend of Zelda series: Link's Awakening. Just after recieving it as a gift, I placed all my others games I was constantly playing at the time (on my GameBoy Pocket, to be exact) on the shelf to gather dust. Sounds like cruel fate doesn't it? Don't worry, one of those games was Pokemon, which took up more than enough of my time already and needed to be shevled for a good three months. Funnily enough, the gift I got ended up being the original Link's Awakening (which was released in 1993 for the original GameBoy). This meant that, instead of saving up to buy the more expensive version of the same game that was in color that I couldn't see on my GameBoy Pocket, I could have simply bought the cheaper version and gotten the same results; but, because I was so patient, I ended up recieving the game for free when I went to visit my Grandma, many blessings upon her.
Its has been over ten years since I played that game and Nintendo has just rereleased it for sale on the Nintendo e-Shop for Zelda fans to purchase... again. Please note that this game is a rerelease of the GameBoy Color edition, this means that the game hasn't been updated from its 8-Bit (colored) graphics and sound; and that it just the way I like it.

Oh! Daisy - Super Mario Land VC Review

Super Mario Land was Nintendo's first Game Boy game featuring their famous plumber, Mario. Forgoing the conventional adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom, Land takes place in Sarasaland, where an alien named Tatanga has kidnapped Princess Daisy. What's that? Princesses in need of rescue? Letsa go.

If you can actually read these words, chances are you're familiar with Mario platforming. Running, jumping on enemies, and throwing superballs (this game's Fire Flower turns you into Superball Mario strangely enough), you navigate your way through stages filled with enemies, bottomless pits and item boxes. This game can be pretty unforgiving at times with it's placements, but ultimately this makes level completion more satisfying. Read more after the jump.

This normally would involve a lot of research and work. To make things easier, we here at ForThePlot have decided to do this work for you. See the comparison and recommendation after the jump.
