Abstract: The holiday season is the game industry’s busiest time, when all of the epic sequels and big name franchises come out to jockey for Christmas cash. Amid the Gears of War, Little Big Planets and Nintendo’s accessible but shallow offerings, you might be ...
Abstract: Mushrooms have played an important role in videogames for decades, ever since Shigeru Miyamoto thought it’d be amusing if his plumber protagonist powered up by eating a gnarled, red-spotted unappealing fungus. Mario has been snacking on them since, and...
