"Right from the start Nintendo saw the need to cash in on the popularity of its franchise. Alarm clocks, cutlery, towels, bed sheets nothing could escape. Most of it wasn’t worth the plastic it was made from but even today its good to look back at the early days of an industry giant, dipping its toes into merchandising."

"We've heard that "two brains are better than one," and while video games heroes are able to handle themselves, it's hard to deny the strength in numbers and the power of teamwork. Sidekicks are a valuable resource to many aspiring heroes, and if you think about it, even some villains need them around. These partners not only watch your back, but they also assist you in finding key items and coming up with strategies to defeat your enemies. Despite minor annoyances, it's safe to admit that ..."

"BioShock was one of the greatest games of all time. Still, many gamers dropped their controllers in awe following the ending of the game. It was, in some ways, powerful but could have been so much better and more developed.

So to save the movie industry some time, we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 games that need to get big screen ..."

"10. Magic Powder (Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening)
The first item on our list is particularly strange. For starters, you get the magic powder in Link to the Past by finding a magic mushroom and giving it to a witch. Once acquired, the magic powder has many weird uses, ranging from transforming your enemies to waking up a mysterious bat-like creature who makes your magic more powerful. The most awesome use of the magic powder, however, is transforming a cucco into a human in Kakariko, who ..."
