  • Abstract:  Copywriters that are often considered the low men on the totem pole, working long thankless hours in order to craft the descriptive text for laundry detergent ads. But while crafting sales copy isn't the most glamorous position, it does take skill, as evi...

  • Abstract:  Kid Icarus: Uprising ReviewThe trouble with uprisings is that someone usually gets hurt in the process, and with Nintendo's revival of Kid Icarus it's definitely the player. Sure, at times the corner of your 3DS digs into that fleshy bit of your palm b...

  • Kid Icarus Uprising is a fantastic game full of superb action, stunning graphics and art design, incredible music (truly some of Nintendo's best), humorous dialogue and solid gameplay. Despite that, it suffers from an equal number of problems, includin...

  • Abstract:  When Kid Icarus: Uprising was revealed at E3 2010 and subsequently shown off at other trade shows and events, there were often more questions than answers. The demos were just timed affairs that highlighted Sin & Punishment-esque sequences. It didn’t s...

  • Abstract:  It’s clear that Nintendo poured plenty of resources into Kid Icarus: Uprising, the much anticipated 3DS revival of a series that’s been collecting dust for more than 20 years. The Japanese game giant handed the reins to Masahiro Sakurai, the same fello...
