Welcome to Stars and Stripes' Good Game blog. Here we'll cover all of the minute digital duds, Hail Mary's, and (today at least) killer Mario knockoffs that might be of interest to the gamers out there in the military community, but can't make it into our game reviews. We also hope to write about more download-only games in this space, so give us a shout if there's something out there you'd like us to try before you buy.

First up: Nintendo's all-out assault on your kids this holiday season.
Stars and Stripes has recently been bombarded with Nintendo goodies. From Pokemon trick-or-treat bags to pink Kirby hats, and we got the chance to sit down with a few Nintendo reps for a walkthrough of some key holiday games. We aren't going to review each and every kids game that's thrown our way, but here are a couple to watch out for if you're looking to get the kids to veg in front of the TV with some quality titles.
