...We don't know much about the back story yet. Heck, even 'Super Mario Galaxy' is just a working title, and with Nintendo's recent working title track record, expect a much less compelling moniker to grace the final game. Is the word Galaxy too threatening for us terrestrial types?...
...Even simple Mario jumping is a little different, since (so far) there aren't a whole lot of walls and barriers. Instead of the 3D worlds of Mario 64 and Sunshine, Galaxy's planets are largely open spaces with some occasional stuff to climb on - more like the 2D worlds of classic Mario, in other words...
...'Fresh' is a word I love to apply to a twenty year-old franchise. It's a bit early to proclaim that Super Mario Galaxy will be Mario's Metroid Prime, but no other game has done as much to sell me on the Wii as Mario's, still sexy after all these years..

Review: Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo) FunnyGames, February 27, 2007...Diddy Kong Racing is all about using miniature go-karts, stunt planes and inner-tube hovercraft to win races and defeat a giant space-pig (your life is now enhanced with this knowledge). If someone gave the Muppet Babies some Power Wheels cars, you would pretty much have Diddy Kong Racing...
...Remember when you got Mario Kart 64 and played the hell out of it, then you checked out Diddy Kong Racing because Mario Kart was so old? But you and your friends would still rather play Mario Kart 64 any day of the week? That's the same feeling you'll get with Diddy Kong Racing DS. It's great filler if you need a change of scenery, but still a distant second behind Mario Kart DS...

Beijing 2008 - Olympic Games Review FunnyGames, August 4, 2008Beijing 2008 is as much a mini-game collection as Mario Party. Any of the dozens of events may test your skills as a button-masher, Simon Says expert, or rolling motion professional. It may sound or look like a game that was made for the everyman but was really made for one man (or woman): the kind that doesn't mind a little excruciating nonsense.
Take running and swimming, for example. As expected, you'll have to jam on the A and B buttons (alternately) to make your athlete run. When swimming, you can jam on various buttons and exhaust your thumbs or fingers to no end, or spin both analog sticks toward or away from each other. That sums up your entire racing experience, minus the shoulder buttons which must be tapped to turn while swimming and must be held to start the race.
Chances are you have played a game like this before. The button-altering gameplay became a frequently copied commodity after Sega's Olympic titles popularized it in the 90s. If it was fun the last time you experienced it, you are probably looking forward to having it here. But there are a couple of problems to consider before diving into the pool.
First there's repetition. Before winning a race, the game can be a pain...>>
