I miss your epic Super Mario Galaxy anticipation thread from the GGD.  That was a lot of fun.

That was fun.

Yep, the reason I joined Gamespot.

Do you guys remember the fake GS reviews that you did?

What really?

I remember the fake Endless Ocean review. And using 1ups Prime 3 preview in a SMG review parody.  

Yeah, really! My first post was in that thread. It was too awesome to not be a part of. That reminds me, where is Selby?!

So if it wasn't for that thread we might never have known you?

*reaches for time machine*

I kid.

Where is Selbie? Aussies, track him down nao.

 You better be kidding! 

I am going to dig up the fake reviews

Okay, I visited the Galaxy thread.

Man we were less jaded back then and Gamespot mods kept my trolling behaviour in check.

I found the reviews however

Rag's fake GS interview

"Upon playing the game further, we are dismayed at the fact that we can't find any weapons, and the game's cover system is nonexistant. If a space mutant was to start shooting at you in this game, not only would you have nothing but fireballs to shoot back at him, but the developers have also forgotten to include conveniently placed four foot walls to take cover behind every 30 feet or so. In the end we've resorted to jumping on the heads of our enemies, which seems effective, but lacks the punch of other games we have played recently..."


"...The other thing that we have noticed is that you are constantly moving from planet to planet, changing into bees and ghosts, and some sort of weird jumping metal man. Combine that with racing on the backs of some manta rays, and this game clearly has a bit of an identity problem."


7.5 out of 10

 And Necro's zero-punctuation fake interview

Besides waving a little white stick around in the air to collect "Star Bits", which infact look and sound like candy, and saving a Princess from a Dinosaur who quite obviously rode the Short Bus to Jurassic Park, the collective offerings of Super Mario Galaxy are about as relevant as Willy Wonka meets the Jetsons, except with a Plumber that can breathe in space.

 Wow awesome

So, what is everyone's personal anticipated 5 or so games? I'd put mine up but Dvader scares me.

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
2. Super Mario Galaxy 2
3. Super Mario Galaxy 2
4. Super Mario Galaxy 2
5. Super Mario Galaxy 2
   

SMG 2 is the only game that I'm anticipating right now. Bioshock 2 will probably be good, but I'm skeptical. Gran Turismo 5 would most definitely be on that list . . . if I had a PS3 . . . and if it were coming out this year (I'm skeptical about that too). I'm most likely done with the Zelda and Metroid series; I can't be bothered to finish the games in those series I own now, so buying more would be silly. Yup, SMG 2: Possibly the ONLY game I buy in 2010? We'll see.

i have many games i am anticipating for this year but none more than the Last Guardian.  the one deciding factor in me getting a ps3 was knowing that fumito ueda and team ico were working on a game for it

You're not anticipating Burger Time? And I thought I knew you.

Meh. I already own the Atari 2600 version.

Guys check out the Tatsunoko vs Capcom IGN Review

I like how everyone dismisses IGN when they say stupid stuff, but when they rate a niche game highly, their opinion suddenly matters.

That's pretty much the most positive review for a Wii game I've seen in quite some time.  I am looking forward to it, and very happy that I already have mine preordered.  It's been a long time since I've played any kind of online console game, and I'm happy to finally have something to play against some friends with.

And as an added bonus to all of this, Capcom is actually advertising this game. I'm seeing ads online and believe it or not, ON TELEVISION.   That's right, they're actually marketing a game for the Wii.  Actually looks like its paying off too.  If Amazon.com is accurate for determining how well a game is selling, it looks like people are hopping on the pre-order bandwagon.  I think this game will hit half a million sales in its first 3 months. So unlike Excitebots, there might actually be people to play against online.
