Formula 1 2013 - Mid Season Musings

So here we are after ten races at the official half way point of the 2013 Formula 1 season. After ten races and two enormous breaks between races because Bernie Ecclestone couldn’t be bothered to replace the New Jersey race with another fully prepared venue we’re at the point where the teams can have a proper break, with the factories required to be completely shut down for two weeks.

A lot of things have happened so far, many of which weren’t expected and a few that were, of which I’m going to do a brief run down.

Game Review: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros

Developer: AlphaDream
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: RPG
Platforms: Nintendo 3DS
Age Rating: 3+ (PEGI)

I love the Paper Mario series. Thousand Year Door on the Gamecube is among my favourite games and when Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was released on the Gameboy Advance, I decided to give it a go. What was essentially the third series of Mario RPGs (including Super Mario RPG on the SNES and of course Paper Mario) was every bit as fantastic with even more active combat and an insane set of characters and worlds.

Thankfully, Nintendo has allowed AlphaDream to keep working on the series, now producing the forth entry in the series and the first entry on the 3DS. After the disappointment that was Paper Mario: Sticker Star, can the brothers prove they’re still among the best in the RPG business?
