"It’s summer. It’s hot. For some, there’s more leisure time. And many need an escape from their respective homes, whether to the beach, the mountains or the dragon-ruled countrysides of Skyrim.
Videogames have featured a lot of diverse and often dangerous territories as levels, but sometimes a few of them come as more relaxing vacation spots than challenges. This week, your beach-combing writers at Pixelitis coo about the places they’d personally visit if they could hop a flight to The Great Bay or Costa Del Sol.
Grab yourself a mojito and lather on the suntan lotion; it’s Pixelitis’ best videogame vacation destinations."

Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Today marks Sonic 3’s 30th anniversary, one of the Blue Blur’s most talked about entries among fans.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is peak 2D Sonic for me. Probably my most played Genesis game.
No, not a divisive game. The visuals, levels, music, controls were all great. Having to buy Sonic & Knuckles wasn't an issue at all, just more awesome gaming made available to me at the time. I lived through that era, and I don't remember anyone complaining that they had to buy another cartridge just to get the complete game, if you enjoyed Sonic games on the Genesis, you were happy to get another one back then.
The only issue with Sonic 3 is that stupid freakin' horrible "BARREL OF DOOM!" all because Sonic Team didn't properly communicate to the player what to do.
I had 1 & 2, I played 3 at someone else's house. When I heard about S3 & Knuckles I assumed it was the same game with just Knuckles added in and thought it was stupid, until I found out a while later it was much more. I wonder how much more they could've put onto the game carts, I know there were cut levels in some of the games.
Any animal crossing game I'd say
