Doritos, now providing fun video games and delicious snacks for college students and teenagers everywhere.

If you were to ask me last week if I'd be writing a piece on a Doritos sponsored game, I'd have laughed at you - but here we are. No, Chester Cheetah is not in my house holding me at gunpoint at the request of the Frito-Lay company (SOMEBODY, PLEASE SAVE ME!) to write something on their latest release. I'm here to tell you about Doritos Crash Course because it's an honest to goodness, fun game. Even better, it's free.

Improved controls and an online mode give the HD versions of NBA Jam a leg up on the Wii title.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has many fond memories spent playing countless hours of the original NBA Jam titles.

I promise I haven’t used the word “epic” in this review, except in naming the game’s title.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Disney Epic Mickey in a nutshell:

Picture this: Upon arriving at Disneyland (or Disney World,) you buy your ticket, walk up to the turnstile, present the ticket and walk in. You see Main Street, USA, filled with people, Mickey Mouse balloons, characters, a fire truck that ferries people to Cinderella’s castle, horse-drawn carriages, and essentially, you realize you’re at the entrance of what many would consider a magical place. Excitedly, you hurry to the nearest Disney cast member, and ask where you should go first! Then, the cast member, Jenny, says she lost her shoe, and was wondering if you could get it from Bobby, a cast member down the street. After navigating your way through a crowd, you retrieve the shoe and bring it back to Jenny. She gives you a MacGuffin, and then, in order to ride the very first ride, you realize four more MacGuffins are needed.
