That's when you pay for Amazon Prime Air Insurance. Only another $50 a year.

I didn't even like the last Paper Mario (the Wii one), but I'm totally snaggin' this deal. I figure it's worth a shot at that price. The first two Paper Mario games are some of my favorite ever!

You play for a bit, then decide you want to check in on the game's score, so you say, "Xbox, snap TV." On the righthand side of the screen, a smaller version of your TV feed appears, letting you see what's going on in the game while continuing to play. (Or you can do what I did in the image above, and run your Wii U…

Link, close your eyes! It's a bloodbath out there!

It's important to say that all this TV stuff is all almost there. Every conversation I've had with Microsoft indicates that they will continue to update the software until everything is working better. After all, this is the same company that reinvented their Xbox 360 console multiple times over the last eight years…

Are you there, God? It's me, Link.

I still love Fusion. It ranks pretty high in my personal hierarchy of Metroid games.

She most certainly does. While I appreciate that they've been trying new things with the series (like handing it off to Team Ninja, for instance), I miss the days when Retro was pumping them out every other year. It encouraged Nintendo to revamp the brand and do Fusion, Zero Mission, Hunters, even fucking Pinball. It…

If I don't get another Metroid game sometime this decade, people will die.

I carry a messenger bag with me everywhere I go, so it's never been a problem for me. It's a Club Nintendo bag, too! :D

But it will be forgotten. I all but guarantee it. In 2013, as we make way for a new wave of technology, Rock Band is already a relic. In both the metaphorical and literal sense it is gathering dust. A drumkit lies unplugged in the basement/garage/spare room of almost every gamer and it's difficult to see a future in…

Dimps. This right here is why I may spring for the 3DS version. Dimps gets Sonic. Every side-scrolling portable Sonic game from Advance on was developed by them and they feel like truer evolution of the series from the Genesis days than any of Sonic Team's post Dreamcast titles do.

Jason, I'm just curious—do you like Etrian Odyssey at all? That's another RPG that gives more attention to its gameplay than its plot, so I'm wondering if you feel the same way about that series.

Dammit, WHERE IS SAMUS'S SHIP?!

Rule #1 of Customer Service: Just let the customer be an asshole. If you argue with them, they'll never leave.

Why is it that whenever anyone bemoans the lack of female protagonists in a video game, people lose their shit? Is it because they feel like the complaint aligns with some sort of "feminist agenda?" Is it because video games are supposed to fulfill some sort of escapist fantasy and who cares if there are women or not?…

The irony of making fun of the look of the HD version today is how disgusted people were with "Celda" back when Wind Waker was announced. I feel like the public should really shut the hell up when it comes to criticizing this game's visuals. It's the epitome of beating a dead horse now (outside of actually beating…

Did you not see Pikmin 3? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who sees how brilliant that game truly is.

I always wanted to pick this one up. I used to see it around Target and such for like $15. Now I really regret never grabbing it. :/ Though I convinced a friend of mine who's really into GTA to get it and he loved it. So I suppose I did my civic duty there.
