Super Mario Galaxy!

I think Verto has the GC controller though, and that's probably best for SSBB.

Yeah, I have one wavebird and one regular GC controller for potentially Smash-age, so I picked up two of the Classic controllers to flesh out the full four. Gives me lots of options

Verto, I felt the same way about the classic controller, and then I actually gave in and got one. They are fantastic; really, really comfortable, and they can be used with Smash Bros Brawl, so I felt much better about that purchase

Really really comfortable? I thought a feature of them (and I have two) is that you get the old "Nintendo thumb" back again, just like old days. Only took me two hours or so.

Years of Nintendo made my thumb immune - though the immunity might have gone by now I suppose.

I'm sorry, Asher, I didn't realize you suffered from sissy delicate thumb syndrome; I will be more considerate in the future.

Have you guys checked out consoleclassix.com ? They have (legal) free nintendo games on the PC through their emulator (or at least did a year ago when I last played them) ...

[Verto]

Anyone have this yet? I'm holding off because of $$$, gotta wait a bit.

[Nikolai]

I don't have the money for it right now. Must wait for Christmas Eve.

[Asher]

Not yet.

I watched the IGN video review from Matt Cassamania, against my better judgment. Man, what a tool.

I loved his hype about the graphics -- "advanced lighting effects" -- whaaa?

Looks like a fun game, in any case, but being hit over the head with his undying love for Nintendo is grating. He even tried to pimp non-Mario games during his review, and told people to "not hesitate, buy it now".

Oi Asher, Crysis, your favourite game, also scored 9.5 at Gamespot. An omen?

Not an omen, just proof that game reviews are f*cked up for PC as well as consoles.

[DrSpike]

Surely not! Surely teh evil marketing only works on uneducated unwashed console owners?

I read the review and came to the conclusion that the demo is clearly a completely different game from what GS reviewed.

[Verto]

Uh oh. I better buy this game to save this thread.

Today we've also seen Assassin's Creed score everywhere from a 7 to a perfect 10. Reviews are like a box of chocolates...
