Captain Toad’s bonus levels from Super Mario 3D World have been expanded and refined into the solo release Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for the Wii U! Well, it’s not technically a solo adventure since Toad shares screen time with Toadette, but they play identically (which is in keeping with recent comments from producer Koichi Hayashida regarding their gender). But is this charming-looking platform puzzler worth your time?

But seeing as how the Starks don’t fare well in Westeros, can you keep the Forresters from meeting the same fate? Your choices will decide.

Dear Diary,

Well, the mass exodus from Geneva continues… or should I say ATTEMPTED mass exodus. Because I’m not letting anyone else go right now. And the weather took a turn for the seasonal, which is nice. But the real big news this week is that I apparently filled up my camera’s memory card! I know, right? Who even keeps track of such things! But towards the end of the week, I tried to take a picture, and was informed that I couldn’t because my camera was full. Now, I know I have a ton of room left on the card, so it must just be the camera that fills up and can’t take any more.

So I emptied out the SD card of photos and archived them so I can take some more next week. I guess I hadn’t realized how many pictures I’d taken, but since I’m documenting my entire life here in the lovely burg of Geneva, I guess I’ve taken more than I thought! You can see my most recent shots by reading on!

Apologies for the length of this one, but it’s a special super-sized anniversary episode! To commemorate reaching 200 episodes of this dang thing, I invited a couple of my Smash-loving friends over to try and teach me some basics and convince me that Super Smash Bros. is as awesome as they think it is.

After a few rounds of Smash (which constitutes the bulk of this episode, sorry!), do I agree? Make the jump, watch and find out!

Dear Diary,

I made a new friend this week, and then we had a holiday that I just wasn’t in the mood for. Well, I was in the mood for it, but then I remembered how obnoxious it is… Read on and I’ll explain!

Well, I’ve started yet another new game for a review, but then Microsoft decided to give away 24 hours of free play of a new game I was curious about… too bad it took most of that time to download!

Also, Nintendo had so many big releases this past week that they held a triple launch event at their flagship Nintendo World Store in New York City… and I was there for the chaos! Make the jump and see!

MidBoss‘ upcoming cyberpunk adventure game Read Only Memories – or ROM – is due for release next year, and, to give would-be players a little taste of what’s to come, they’ve released a playable demo over on their website - and we’ve taken a look to tell you what you can expect from this teaser.

In ROM, you find yourself on the cusp of a story of intrigue and secrets as a cute personal helper robot which has broken into your home informs you that his owner, a former friend of yours, has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As a journalist in Neo-San Francisco in 2064, you are best placed (according to Turing, the aforementioned robot casually disregarding property laws) to find out what happened to your friend.
