First Impressions is a close look at the crucial first hour spent with a game and its’ ability to draw you in or turn you away. Somewhere between a review and a preview.
Ugh, the dirge of licensed titles. History has, unfortunately, shown us that no studio, no creator and no IP is exempt from half-hearted attempts to cash in on the latest fad (there’s a video game based on rubber bracelets). The first, and thus far only, Adventure Time game – 2012′s Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?! – was a fun surprise for fans (especially us old farts), melding classic 8-bit motifs with the TV shows’ unique characters and style of humor.

"If you are anything like me, you have wanted to play a decent Adventure Time game for a very long time. Unfortunately for all of us, we have yet to experience a title that truly encapsulates the franchise. I feel that the time for change has come and that a worthy game should be made and I have just the recipe for it!
Keep in mind, this editorial dives deep into Adventure Time lore, if you are afraid of any spoilers, please click away!"
I havent dived into the show as much, but eventually I'll jump into it a bit more.
December can be expensive because of the holidays and when it comes to finding the right gift for gamers in your life the costs add up. Allen from Gamer Assault Weekly has you covered. Take a look at what games you can buy for yourself or for a friend in this month's Games for Budget Gamers.
I prefer physical copies, but that's because I have collectors mentality about my games.
Michael, Jack, Ray, and Ryan explore a world made of candy and a dungeon full of danger!
Poor reviews for this game keep pouring in. I actually had this on pre-order at one point but cancelled due to the overwhelming stench coming from early reviews... I'll save my money for something more deserving - I wonder if there are plans to release Gauntlet on the Wii U? :)
