Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon review
“Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon” is a sequel to the original Gamecube launch title, released in 2001. It retains some of the same basic gameplay, but loses a lot of the charm and overall quality and polish. This game features an additional ability and a few changes to the existing ones. The Poltergust 5000 is more [...] -

The YMCA is filled with the sounds of local bands on these increasingly popular evenings of music. The brainchild of local youth pastor Andrew Sayers, NoR is touted as a [...] -

While the cards themselves are expensive, Magic [...] -
Review: “Get Smart”
The drama department presented an adapted version of the first episode of the classic 1965 TV show, “Get Smart” on Nov. 8-10 and Nov. 15-17. Although the plot isn’t quite as ridiculous as some later in the series, there are countless funny moments only further amplified by the live performance. The plot was adapted very [...]
