SNES Classics: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

For me personally, the SNES is my favorite retro console. I have so many fond memories of playing various different games on my Aunt's Super Nintendo when I would spend time with her at her house when I was a kid.

If I were to get a retro console of my own, the SNES would be at the top of the list. And the first game I would try to find and buy would be Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

This game is considered by many hardcore gamers and critics to be average or mediocre. But for me personally it hits the perfect sweet spot. It's got plenty of replayability because you can play as multiple different rangers, and it is so easy to pick up and play. The controls are fluid and easy to master, the graphics and level design is top notch and the sound and score is fantastic. There is also plenty of variety throughout the game with different enemies, and bosses that the Rangers have to fight.

I like so many other 90's kids, grew up watching the show on Fox, and this game was a dream come true for me when I first popped it in at my Aunt's house. And ever since then I have been playing it anytime I get a chance to when I come over and visit and if it was available officially on Steam, I would buy it right now.

It is one of the first games I ever remember beating and it never ceases to put a smile on my face every time I play it. If you are a fan of SNES era beat em ups or Power Rangers, definitely play this one sometime.

The Fun Factor | What Makes Video Games Fun (Part One)

Video Games are usually synonymous with fun , much like any other form of play, video games can be a thrill to the senses and be some of the most rewarding activities out there. But what is it exactly that makes games fun? And are there particular elements in any game that determine how fun a game is and is there a way to take those elements and use them to make the experience of playing a game that is not considered fun enjoyable? Now in order to really find out the answers to those questions, it is necessary to dig deep and discover what fun is and means, what its correlation is to video games , and how all of this creates the foundation for fun to be tied to video games. The Miriam Webster dictionary describes fun as “what provides amusement or enjoyment”. And also according to Miriam Webster, fun first appeared in the English language in the 1600s in France and the term made its way to the United States when petty criminals from London were carried over to the shores of the...

Games On Film: Super Mario Bros.(1993)

Well they ain't lying...It's not a game. It's definitely a motion picture. And a flawed interesting and refreshingly ridiculous one to boot. I am one of the few people out there that actually genuinely likes this movie. Is it a great adaptation of the game? No. But that by itself does not make it a horrible movie. You have to put things into context. Around the time of this film's production and release there weren't really any major bits of storytelling or backstory for Super Mario Bros. There were the cartoons which have aged even worse than the film has if you ask me, some comics and that's about it. So its not like the writers had this wealth of infomration to go off of for the film. All they had was the video games which essentially had one very simple plot line. To rescure the princess. And the film does have a princess and the Mario Bros. do rescue her. So in that particular instance, the film did not fail to adapt the source material. I never underst...

Machine Acts

There are two types of Machine Acts in video games. The diagetic and the non-diagetic. Here are a couple examples of the two. The loading screen for any level on Halo: Combat Evolved is an example of a non-diagetic machine act because you cannot skip the loading screen, nor can you interact with it in anyway and it does not change the form of gameplay or the way you play the game. As for a non-diagetic machine act, a prime example of this is the kill animation. There are kill animations in multiple video games. But the one that comes to mind most of the time is the Fatality animation from the Mortal Kombat series. The kill animation forces the player to just sit there and watch the animation as the machine plays the code and the animation to the player.
