Mario has been in over 250 games. Goozernation attempts to near down the top 10 Mario games of all time to the top 5. What makes the cut into the top 5? Will Mario Galaxy be mentioned? What about Super Mario RPG? Where does Paper Mario fall?
Nintendo gave away twenty free downloads divided evenly between NES and GBA games to early adopters of the 3DS. These Ambassadors can get at least one more free game of their choice - for either the 3DS or Wii - if they are members of Club Nintendo.
Daav from NoobFeed.com gives his vegetarian colleague Mario an ego boost, by shedding the positive side to the non-animal slaughtering lifestyle. Not everyone who eats mushrooms is a tripping junkie and it's high time(s) to see the advantages of plant life adoration.
Mario looks strong enough to take out those feeble mushroom creature thingies and those flying turtles. But I bet even Mario would think twice after their upgrade to these creatures. Check out Mario's enemies drawn by Mike Puncekar to double size its evil side!
"Little did hundreds upon hundreds of driving instructors all over the world know, the final years of the twentieth century had ushered in a new breed of young, would-be drivers. They were covetous of speed, their road rage reached startling levels, and they were always on the lookout for items to be acquired while never releasing the gas pedal."
Gran Turismo 5 has finally arrived for PS3 owners, but some racing purists are still convinced that it doesn't belong in the upper tiers of racing games. Here's an interesting list of five racing games that some would argue are actually better.
The Mario Kart series has been around for quite a long time and has left countless gamers impressed and entertained. Let's take a look at the first two games in the popular kart racing series.
Super Mario Kart launched in 1992 and was the start of what would become a memorable, long-running kart-racing franchise. This first entry remains popular among hardcore gamers, and it's definitely a strong Virtual Console title worth anyone's Wii Points.
"This is not a list of diabolical villains of gaming. No, it is a list of the unsung pricks in the gaming world. The ones who aren't really evil, just annoying as all hell. Okay, well sometime's they are evil. I'm 90% sure that Toad is nothing but a mushroom headed piece of evil."
"Start your engines and get ready for some serious racing mayhem as Super Mario Kart is available to download on Virtual Console. Get ready to burn rubber with eight of your favourite Mushroom Kingdom characters – from Mario and Bowser, to Donkey Kong Jr. in his only Mario Kart appearance.

YouTube comedy troupe DrCoolSex recently filmed this fun little trailer for a hypothetical Mario Kart movie. To be honest, if this were a real movie I would love to watch it. It gave me a few chuckles...

"History has shown that video games and movies don’t mix. Games based off of movies are generally of lower quality, and movies based off of games are much, much worse. On the bright side, at least a few of the movies are of the so-bad-it’s-good variety. Gamers know the movies will always suck, and as such parody movie trailers of games that would make awful movies are prevalent in out fandom. We at The Gaming Dungeon are not rich or geographically close enough to do one ourselves; but we, if n..."
"The question of the week this week involves the many different weapons introduced with gaming; some are possible but others are completely too bad-ass to be true. Weapons have been very created especially in the first person shooter genre (Including one of the most creative guns I have ever heard; the Landshark Gun).
For my favorite weapon I’m going to have to go with the Landshark gun from Armed and Dangerous. Actually, it’s better to say EVERY weapon from Armed and Dangerous, but we’ll f..."
"Guess what ramps up the difficulty of any kart race? Ink sprayed into your flippin' eyes. Thanks, Blooper. Ever since those water levels of Super Mario Bros. we have really hated you and your unpredictable swimming stroke, flopping all around like you were caught on an invisible fishing line. And don't get us started on the knocked-up Bloopers that spit out little babies. Just keep your nasty ink off of the race track and out of our faces.
For as much as we appreciate the nearly impenetrab..."
"It seems that entirely too often, people wonder what it would be like to see their favorite video games in real life. This results in a nearly infinite number of fan-made videos of varying levels of quality. Ive done my best to find 12 great ones that span Mario Bros. to Portal. Its abudantly clear that Ive probably missed a large number, so feel free to leave your favorites in the comments. Ready
start!

User 'TubularGoldmine' on comedy/video website Funny or Die has posted something called the 'Mario Kart Love Song', and it's as lovely as it is amusing. Check it out through the source!
Sub-Zero of unrealitymag.com has created a top list for... real estate? Yes that's right, they've made a top list concerning the ten places you'd not want to consider living in.
With a steady theme of violence being a major deterrent, Silent Hill took out first place. This was followed by Raccoon City of Resident Evil and Megaton of Fallout 3.
Read on to see the pros and cons for each!
Bret Elston over at GamesRadar goes through the changes in the size (both general and relative) of one of the oldest and our favorite hero/villan pairs in video gaming history- Mario and Bowser.
From the original NES games to the new Wii releases - things have gotten a little different throughout the years.
"From shotguns to rockets, chainsaws to weapons that fire right through walls, weapons are what make gaming fun. You can have the greatest game out there, but if the weapons sound weak and don't pack much punch, you've lost something in the interface between the gamer and the world you're trying to immerse him into."

"Mario Kart Double Dash for the Gamecube took up most of my college life. My papers and classes would always have to be put on hold while I played this game for a least 8 hours a day. To think of where I could be today if I spent all that time studying rather than playing Double Dash. Maybe my 3.4 average would have become a 3.9, but I dont regret it for a second because I became a master of Double Dash that no one could beat. This accolade was far more important that the benefits of having a..."
"Brian Brinegar, a 29-year-old web developer from Lafayette, Indiana, and two of his avid gamers friends, Dan May and John Groth, decided to get together and play seven Super Mario Brothers games straight through the weekend for a good cause, the Childs Play Charity.
The trio have been playing the original Super Mario Bro. all the way through to Super Mario Galaxy. Check out the fun while it lasts at Super Mario Marathon; and please give what you can, if youre apt to do so! To date theyv..."
Can you imagine having this on the walls in your house? I can, but I think my fiance would kill me. (Worth it) It is a little bright - but it would adorn my game-room very nicely.
And eventually when I have kids - I'm sure they would get a kick out of it.
