While I absolutely love all of the old-school Mario, Zelda, Metroid and other classic games available from Nintendo, we must remember, “Genesis does what Nintendon’t.” So with that in mind, I realized that I would do well to drop some serious knowledge about the good old Sega Genesis (also called the Mega Drive in some regions, but I will refer to it as the Genesis for the rest of this article).

Netflix has launched a nice update for its iOS application that adds some useful new features, and brings a new look to parts of app. The first thing you will notice is a slight interface change: The new UI makes it possible to quickly flip through content you’ve already started watching, which will make it easier to go back to the things you enjoy most.

A couple of months ago, a game company known as THQ was forced to sell off its intellectual properties and shut down. While THQ has not had the highest quality games in recent years (with one notable exception), it has had a long and storied history of delivering great titles, and I was certainly not happy to see the company bite the bullet. With the passing of a couple of months, I have had time to really think back about what THQ has done over the years.

On the PC, shooters have been around for a long time, with classics like Unreal Tournament, Doom, and Half Life really bringing the genre to the forefront. The common theme with all of these shooters is, well, shooting.
