Question for y'all.

I just finished Super Mario GaLAxy a couple of days ago. It was the first Mario game I have ever finished (except for the 2 Super Mario Lands) because I generally suck at platformers.

Now for whatever reason, I really enjoyed and was quite good at SMG (IMO).  After playing Uncharted 2 I was toying with the idea of playing Super Mario Sunshine. On the first playthrough I stopped when he got half way through Bianco Hills.  So what do you think? If someone can beat SMG should completion of Sunshine be within their grasp?

I've never played the game.  Just never appealed to me.  If they ever decide to make a New Play Control version of the game I'll take a look at it though.  Unfortunately GC controllers won't reach from the Wii to my couch and I don't want to invest in a Wavebird just to play old games.

You can buy very cheap extension cables. Check ebay or an import shop like playasia.com. I have one that makes it longer than the Xbox wire.

As for Sunshine, its harder, a lot harder. It takes practice and a few bits might have you tearing your hair out. But it's do-able and generally enjoyable.

): At least my hat is on the way.

Congrats on making it into the Top 10, you leapfrogged 2 people in 2 days, well done.  Pick it up guys!

Are the rankings based soley on reviews?

Take a look at your rank, then how many reviews you've written.

*looks at how many reviews I've written*

Hmm, I've actually written quite a few, so maybe so?!

We have ranks. I have a 1. I have transcended the VGpress and become an ocean Godess.

GAME.co.uk offering 'New Super Mario Bros Wii Limited Tin Edition

I dont want this game, but I want that case.

Gamekyo reviews, bot translated, I'm not even going to clean them up!

Dead Space Extraction

After series like Blox Boom, Tiger Woods, MySims, Madden or Rock'n'roll band, Electronic Arts still prove aujourd' today qu' there remains one of the editors most appreciated on Wii with superb Dead Space Extraction. You can leave your chart blue, while waiting to see whether Darkside Chronicles will do as well if not better.

9/10

Uncharted 2

9/10

Still better than gamespot reviews

They are different, Sunshine is more mission based I guess. Its not a traditional platformer type like Galaxy. Galaxy is more like a full game based on the bonus levels in Sunshine. Sunshine has more open areas to explore, and it is the harder game. Not as fun either.

Epic Mickey sounds incredible.  I swear I'm bouncing in my seat right now.  

Tell me about, I just read the entire article and I am more excited than ever. its like a dream come true, a Mickey platformer/action/adeventure hybrid that takes place in some mutated DisneyWorld using all the rides I grew up on as levels! The gameplay mechanics sound very promising and I love the different ways you can play the game. I need this game now!!!

I got to say, I miss the newer Mickey look. And visually the game needs to match Galaxy.

It doesn't so far. The mechanics however sound great. I really cannot wait for video.

Yeah I think this is a game that will look far better in motion.

There are two images where we see Mickey's back and he is looking out to these beautiful artful environments. But I think they are just concept art. I think the design of Mickey himself puts me off.

For some reason I have a cosmic urge to tell Steel every time I scan some guys balls. I scanned some guys balls yesterday, I know at some point yesterday you felt it.

Do you wear gloves when you do this? I have this mental image of you, not only not wearing gloves, but also licking your hands clean.

*shudders*

Of course.

(about wearing gloves not licking my hands)

You should mess with your patients, pretend that you spot lumps and shit.

Dvader: "I'm seeing a lump here, and shit."

Patient: "Oh, yeah, I didn't wash my balls before coming here."

I always feel the small ripples in the force everytime a ball gets scanned.

Everytime a patient drops his pants Vader should act shocked and say:

"Duuuuuuuuuuude those are the biggest balls I've ever seen!"

So I was talking to some gaf guys on PSN and the guy that does the PSN thread every week on gaf created his own blog about PSN games and he says it was really easy to get review copies. Well not review copies since its PSN games, he got product vouchers for them so he can review  them. He said it helped that he had 600 following him on twitter and that he had some PSN contacts because of the gaf thread.

I want review copies, how big do we need to be before we get any.
