UNITED STATES—I haven’t played a video game in nearly 20 years America. Yes, it really has been that long for me. So last week I talked about one of the hottest items hit the store shelves just in time for the Christmas holiday: the SNES classic.

UNITED STATES—Something great has transpired in the world of video games in the past 2 years.

We’ve already chatted about the iconic series “Mortal Kombat,” this week it’s time to chat about another classic, “Killer Instinct.” This game was unique because it had elements like “Mortal Kombat,” but at an elevated level.

UNITED STATES—Back when I was a kid I was considered the gamer of gamers. I had this unique ability to strategize in my head a way to complete a videogame without having a map or guide. I just had this unique intuition to know what had to be done in order to succeed.  My recent acquisition of the SNES...
