Paper Mario Sticker Star Unboxing November 15, 2012

Paper Mario Sticker Star, the newest game in the Paper Mario series has been released exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS this week.  I thought the game had a really impressive E3 showing this year, along with several other Nintendo 3DS games and it was one of the games that convinced me to pick up the 3DS XL when it launched.

I first became aware of the Paper Mario series when they did that awesome commercial for the original Nintendo 64 Paper Mario game over a decade ago.  In fact the commercial was so good, it made the list in my Top Ten Video Game Commercial video.  This new game brings sticker collection into the forefront of the gameplay, with the player able to make Mario make use of stickers that they collect to affect not just the gameplay but the game’s enviroment.

Paper Mario Sticker Star is out now for the Nintendo 3DS.  It can be purchased for $39.99 at retail or online through Nintendo eShop.  There is a bonus through Club Nintendo if you purchase it through the eShop, you will get double points, and the opportunity to download the Donkey Kong Original Edition for free to the 3DS.

Halo 4 Limited Edition Unboxing November 6, 2012

Happy Halo 4 Day!  Halo 4 has officially been released in the United States and across the world a full five years after the last numbered Halo game.  After all this time we finally get to continue the story of the Master Chief, John-117 and put to rest just what his and his AI Cortana fate be, as well as the fate of the rest of the galaxy.

As per tradition since Halo 2, a Collector’s Edition for Halo 4 has been released, called the Halo 4 Limited Edition.  Unlike with Halo 3 and Halo Reach, It is the only CE that is being offered.  But what’s in it, is it worth the $100 US price tag?  Lets take a look and find out.  Also released today was the Halo 4 Limited Edition Strategy Guide, a hardcover guide book which includes a ton of behind the scenes content and game information.  We take a look at that as well.
