Super Mario Galaxy!


I try to avoid as much as possible writing about video games. They are a big part of my life, and by far my favorite pastime, but I'm keenly aware that most of my readers are not quite as interested as I am. That being said, for those of my readers who do get into games, I feel I have to talk about Super Mario Galaxy for Wii.

I originally wasn't going to get this game, but when there was a killer deal on Black Friday, I decided to give it a shot. Considering the glowing reviews this has been getting, at the very least I could always sell it on eBay. Considering the cost, I would likely make money on it anyway.

I've never really been into the 3D Mario games. I guess I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to platformers, preferring them to come in the "classic" 2D style. I didn't like Mario 64, and I hated Mario Sunshine, but this game has made a believer out of me. It's really unlike anything else I've played before. I'm not going to get into the specifics, since there are a lot of reviews out there that do that already. Let me just say that if you have a Wii, there's no reason for you not to have this game. If you don't own a Wii, this is a great reason to get one. Today. No, I mean it. Go right now.
