but no this was my second, the first was a Ocarina of Time review.

                                      Hi I'm Chaoticsonic and welcome to my Super Mario Bros for NES review

Origins: In the 1980's, the video game industry was starting to die and probably would have had it not been for two men by the names of Shigeru Miyamoto (nicknamed God of Video Games) and Takashi Tezuka (nickname Ten Ten) who, with a couple other people, created the platformer Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In making the game everybody LOVED it, making it the most bought video game (40 million units!) until 2006 came Wii Sports.

Story: In a magical world is a place called the Mushroom Kingdom which is ruled by Princess (Peach) Toadstool, is kidnapped by the evil Koopa King Bowser. Enter the "plumber" Mario who is willing to fight Bowser, his minions, obstacles,  and a LOT of platforms all for the goal to save the princess.

Graphics: This game looked amazing back in 1985 and while nowadays it didn't age well, it held up great for the NES. The environment changes from stage to stage, varying from a nice plain setting, on top of Mushroom platforms (hence Mushroom Kingdom), under water, underground, to lava filled castles.

Music: A very memorable soundtrack creating classics that are brought back many times in future games. The Mario Bros theme song is energizing and makes you want to dance to, the under water theme is calming and would even calm down the Hulk, the underground theme which is basic but you can't help but tap your foot to, and the castle theme is foreboding that makes you want to get to that axe at the end. Never forget that game over piece.......... bad memories.

Addictiveness: if you played it once, you will most likely play it at least twice, and maybe 3 times, even more if you were a 80's kid (not me, I was born in 1999, but still played this game twice). Once you hit Start for this game you will not want to stop until you beat it.

Depth: A VERY linear game, of course its a 2d platformer. It wont take to long to beat it since It has only 8 Worlds, containing 4 Stages a piece, which usually starts with the basic plain setting, the second stage underground, the third a very fast paced level, and always ends with a castle. This game shouldn't take too long depending on how good you are at these type of game (I suck). The only thing you can look for are coins that after collecting 100 you get an extra life, and power ups, varying from a Mushroom giving Mario an extra hit, a Fireflower that shoots fire balls, and a Star which makes you invincible for a short time.

Difficulty: The game starts easy enough to get you started, but It will test you, and if aren't a quick learner for the as a call "icy" controls, expect to see the game over a lot. But, if you get a game over you have to start form the BEGINNING! Please use save states if you have a hard time.

Overall: a good start to the Mario franchise you have to play at least once to see the start of it all. Will always hold a special place in millions of gamers hearts for years to come and paved the way for the Platformer genre.

gamerforlifeforever2 : thanks, never thought I would hear that from anybody, but 3 people said it (:

Type text herezanderlex: thanks! really appreciate it.

                           Hi and welcome to Chaoticsonic's review of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

Story: In a deep forest lives a young boy (just 9) who when the Great Deku Tree summons him sends him on a incredible journey of puzzles, hordes of enemies, and even time travel!

Graphics: While it hasn't aged the greatest over the years for the N64 it looks GREAT. the models of the Bosses and Link are animated greatly.

Addictiveness: VERY addictive, when I first played this game I couldn't stop playing.

Depth: has many nice little secrets, by just looking around and exploring will most of the time reward you with either Heart Pieces, Rubies, or Gold Skulltula's.

Difficulty: has a fair difficulty, starts easy and becomes a fair challenge (except Water Temple). The controls are very easy to understand and smooth.

Sound: Sound is enjoyable for me, the music still holds up well and sound effects are nice especially when you attack.

Overall: an AWSOME game to enjoy for years to come.
