November 5, 1991. You have to travel that far back to find the last entry in the Kid Icarus franchise, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters for the Nintendo Game Boy. Let’s try and put that in context for a second. That’s the year that grunge music became a phenomenon with the release of Nirvana’s [...]

A minor miracle happened on Thursday, January 19 of this year. No, there was no water turning into wine or even a vision of the Virgin Mary on some random peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
