A poem I wrote about what video games taught me as a child. Remember to share, comment, and like. I was a Super Nintendo Kid By: Ricardo Estrada I was a Super Nintendo kid. For those of you that don’t remember or never cared to know, That means that I was a child of the 16-bit era. Of when of endless imagination and challenging gameplay there was a plethora, And that I was always up to a new game, a new journey, etcetera, etcetera More than that, it was a lifestyle. Some talk about the children of television, The TV filling in for some young child in the parent’s absence And in that way, I was a child of the Home Console But it never baby sat, it kidnapped- but in the Disney sense, in which the child benefits so much from the experience that the culprit is a protagonist and doesn’t go to jail. The Super Nintendo found a child with no void to fill and created one, crashing through the walls of my unsuspecting psyche like the Kool Aid Man quenching a thirst I never knew I had. And it was more than just a fad, more than anything I’d ever thought I’d have It was to the point that when it finally returned me to my mom and dad, The real world, upon my shoulder an arm, I must confess that all I could be was sad It has been years now since the journey came to an end, but in my adult mind I cling to the words of wisdom imprinted on me during that time Lessons hidden beneath the guise of entertainment, which still guide how I live my life I remember facing off against Sigma on the …

CGRundertow RESIDENT EVIL 4: WII EDITION for Nintendo Wii Video Game Review
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition review.Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition from Capcom for the Nintendo Wii. You can praise this game for a million different things and be correct on all counts. Resident Evil 4 is a modern masterpiece and a real landmark in contemporary game design. What’s really remarkable about this Wii version is how it plays. The same stunning art, masterful use of mood and stellar game design apply, only with controls that actually improve the gameplay experience. The revelation is how shooting a weapon benefits from pointing at the screen. The game plays much better than it ever did on prior controllers. In many ways, the best version of the game. This video review features video gameplay footage of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition for the Nintendo Wii and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s Derek.

CGRundertow MARIO PARTY 9 for Nintendo Wii Video Game Review
Mario Party 9 review.Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of Mario Party 9 from Nd Cube and Nintendo for the Nintendo Wii. Mario Party 9 is a virtual board game in which players compete in minigames to earn stars, and the player with the most stars at the end of the board wins. From that familiar foundation, Mario Party 9 makes some interesting adjustments. Perhaps most importantly, it benefits from the restrained approach developers have learned to take toward motion. That means the waggle based minigames that were so prevalent in Mario Party 8 are replaced with minigames that mostly emphasize the pointer and the sideways, NES style controls. They’re more interesting and more fun than they’ve been in a long time. This video review features video gameplay footage of Mario Party 9 for the Nintendo Wii and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s Derek.

CGRundertow SILENT HILL: SHATTERED MEMORIES for Nintendo Wii Video Game Review
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories review.Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories from Climax Studios and Konami for the Nintendo Wii. Shattered Memories is a 2009 remake of the original Silent Hill. You play as a frantic father who awakens from a car crash to find his daughter is missing. Driven by his understandable mania, he begins exploring a town that offers a visual for the old cliche, “when hell freezes over.” You walk around, you solve puzzles…you run for your life. But the appeal is the sheer immersion of it all and the sense of dread caused by the fact that, unlike other horror games, you’re completely helpless. Not to mention the game’s stunning graphics. This video review features video gameplay footage of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the Nintendo Wii and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s Derek.
