Nintendo’s latest addition to the Mario Kart series will be with us on the 30th of May, and has 7 additional shelled racers available. 

It’s Valentines day again and here at Cinelinx we are feeling all loved up. Take a look at 5 of our favourite video game couples and what we think makes them so perfect for each other.

This week we discuss the winners of the Cinelinx Movie Awards. We also talk about our favorite romantic movies and the awesome success of our Kickstarter and we end the episode by talking about the deaths of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Shirley Temple Black.

Many retro games are notoriously difficult and avoiding imminent death is common place when playing a game like Battletoads or Altered Beast. Here we shine the spotlight on 5 Retro pests that further amped up the difficulty and perhaps caused us to sprout a few grey hairs.

Let’s start off this review by saying that I never thought that two little pieces of plastic would be any help to my FPS prowess. It’s not that I thought that KontrolFreeks FPS Freek Phantom analog stick adapters would be the worst thing since spray-on hair, but it was more of an indifference. I have to say that these two little pieces have rocked my FPS world in a way that I didn’t think was possible. Aliens landing on Earth would have made less of an impact on me than this. Well, maybe….but let’s get onto the review.

This week on TFGP, Eric and Jordan welcome Michael Mendheim, the creator of the original Mutant League Football game on the SNES and Genesis to the show.  Inside Michael talks about what he's working on, what games he's playing (or not playing), and dishes on what he learned from his recent unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign to reboot the retro franchise.  Come inside to hear what this gaming legend has to say!

My experience with the 360 version of the immensely popular PC phenomenon, World of Tanks 360, has been extremely enjoyable so far. The battles can be a little slower than the average shooter, but the trade off is a real sense of strategy. From choosing the right upgrade or making sure you shoot out your enemy’s treads, strategy is the only way to really survive these WWll battlefields.

When Beyond: Two Souls was first announced, I was rather unsure what it really was. They were marketing it as an action oriented title, then slowly crept into it being a story driven title. Luckily they showcased the story driven part more and I became interested in it. This is what the game is, a long story that will make you go through emotions at the snap of a finger. It has its hiccups, but the game should go down in the books as one of the best titles ever made.

The NFL may be back on the TV, but gamers and fans the world over have been delving into the world of Madden already in order to get their football fix.  Come inside to check out our video review of the latest entry in the celebrated franchise to see whether or not this update is worth picking up.

The Beta for Blizzard's new card game expansion to World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, is in full swing.  We here at Cinelinx got the chance to spend ample time with the beta in order to bring you our impressions on the upcoming game, and whether or not you should be excited for it.  Come inside to see our early thoughts!

In our neonate online podcast episode, you’ll have to overlook the bumps and potholes as we navigate our way through technical difficulties (such as conversing in nerd-speak without being in the same city ONLINE, nonetheless).

Metal Gear Solid fans have a brand new collection to drool over, in the MGS: Legacy Collection, which brings together just about every Metal Gear game currently in existence.  While the new collection doesn’t add anything we haven’t gotten before, in terms of gameplay, it features some other extras specific to this set.  Is it enough to justify the purchase for fans?  Come inside to check our review and find out.

The highly anticipated Bioshock Infinite hit stores finally last week to generally positive reviews.  Does the game live up to the hype as well as the legacy of its predecessor?  It's definitely worth playing through, but it's not quite as revolutionary as most reviews would suggest.  Come inside to check out our thoughts on Irrational Games' latest.

The much anticipated follow-up, or expansion if you will, to Blizzard’s StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, released last week during what is an already busy and bustling month for video games.  Does Blizzard’s newest real-time strategy game have what it takes to stand out in a month full of triple-A games?  Come check out our full review to find out.
