Super Mario Galaxy: Progress Update 15
(Editor’s note: This was written in September. It has been waiting on the fancy little “Featured Articles” icon to be created. This means the last time I played SMG was in June.) Wow. Three months since I last played Super Mario Galaxy. Time to jump back in and grab a few more stars! With my last update, I had unlocked and completed the Trial Galaxies. I am now ready to con...[Read More]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Most people know who the Super Mario Bros. are. Even if they don’t know who Luigi is (poor guy), they know who Mario is. New Super Mario Bros. Wii fits in to that famous legacy perfectly. Whoops…Wrong Mario. I know I’ve got it around here somewhere…. *rummage* Aha! I’ve been playing Mario games since I was a kid; my first time playing Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Ent...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Xbox 360)
A few weeks ago, Lindsey and I rented Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe for our Xbox 360. We generally like the vs. series of games (Marvel vs. Capcom, Capcom vs. SNK, etc), so we had high hopes. We were severely disappointed. The problem with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe does not lie with the graphics. there are some characters that do not look quite right, but overall, the graphics are very nice....[Read More]
Grand Slam Tennis – Wii
Viewing Review – Before I go into my review for Grand Slam Tennis, I want to let you guys and gals know that I am not too keen on sports games. I have never been athletically inclined, and I’ve found most sports to be boring. Tennis is a sport that I would never play in real life. I’m just too lazy to run back and forth on the court just to hit a ball, so that brings me to video ...[Read More]
Dead Rising: Chop Til’ You Drop – Wii
I love zombie games. I love zombie movies. I would go so far as to say that you can all start calling me Zombzi. That’s how much I love seeing those mindless, undead creatures get their heads ripped off. A few days ago we rented, from Blockbuster, a copy of Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop for the Wii. I’ve been wanting to play a version of Dead Rising for ages, and since we lack a 360 r...[Read More]
Mario Party 8 – Wii
I can’t remember if we’ve made a blog discussing Mario Party 8 for the Wii, but if we have… great. It’s a little after 8 in the morning and frankly I can’t be bothered to search through the archives 🙂 Chris and I have owned Mario Party 8 since February, and last night was the 2nd time we’ve played it. It’s a great game with a lot of mini-games so our lack ...[Read More]
Wii Love You
For the past few days, I’ve been feeling an urge to get back and play Wii Fit. It’s been awhile and I’m normally a really lazy person so I don’t know why I felt like sweating, being sore, and making an ass out of myself. I was going to play it back on Tuesday, but Chris came home from work early so I didn’t bother with it. Today, however, was a different story. As the...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 14
Progress Update 14 starts me off with another postcard from Luigi, claiming to have found another star in an early level! I remember the area as part of the first time I encountered the Bee Mario mushroom, so I headed over to the Honeyhive Galaxy for an easy star and a ridiculous number of star bits! I decided at this point to try the Trial Galaxies opened up by the Green Sling Star I had restor...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 13
Going into Progress Update 13, I’ve already completed two of the five galaxies in the Bedroom Observatory. The next one up is the Dusty Dune Galaxy which, at first look, seems to be a full desert galaxy. Almost immediately, I met up with an old friend: Dry Bones! After passing him by, I encountered a pair of tornadoes. When I jumped in, it launched me into a helicopter spin that hovered ...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 12
After playing some Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy with Lindsey, she headed off, and I started up Super Mario Galaxy! I headed back into the Bedroom Observatory, and noticed that the Freezeflame Galaxy had a Cosmic Comet in orbit! I jumped in and got ready to race! One quick dash later, I have another star. I headed back into the Freeflame Galaxy for the third official star. This star...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 11
Progress update 11 is here! As soon as I started my play file, I noticed that one of the toadstools had a mail icon, meaning I had a message. I retrieved a letter from Luigi, who was informing me that he had found a new star in one of my previous galaxies. He included a snapshot of the location so that I could figure out what galaxy he was in. I also received a letter from Princess Peach, whic...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 10
One month since progress update 9 has passed, and we have finally arrived at progress update 10! I finally sat down and put Super Mario Galaxy back into the Wii. Last time I checked in, I had completed three full observatories, and was looking forward to entering into the fourth observatory, the Bedroom Observatory. The Bedroom Observatory, as I mentioned in progress update 9, differs from the ...[Read More]
