Late Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns

I received Donkey Kong Country Returns last year as a Christmas gift. For those of you who don't know, the original Donkey Kong Country was released on November 21st, 1994 for the SNES - nearly seventeen years ago. Donkey Kong Country Returns was released exactly sixteen years after the original, on November 21st, 2010. I spent many hours playing the original three entries to the series, and I have to say, it was time well spent. Unfortunately, I did not open Donkey Kong Country Returns until just last week, as my gaming library was a bit jammed up over the past half year. Because of that, this review is coming a bit late, but nonetheless, here it is: a review on the latest entry to the legendary Donkey Kong Country series.

Review: Catherine

I recently purchased Catherine (PS3), ultimately getting sucked into the hype vortex that the game created. It's crazy, because about a week ago, I had no idea this game even existed. Unlike in the past, where giving into the hype did not pay off (Looking at you, Dragon Age II and Final Fantasy XIII), this time around I was rewarded with a very unique gaming experience. Having finished Catherine's story mode, I've felt compelled to write a review, because while I did enjoy it, it most definitely is not a game suited for everyone. The review is spoiler free, of course. Enjoy!
