So the new Mario game is out now for Wii - Super Mario Galaxy. My routine when i go round to Glacier’s house generally goes something like this. Walk in the door > say hello > walk to lounge > turn on xbox 360 > play Halo 3 online for the next 2 hours. Sprinkling it with the odd grunt of conversation here and there. Last time I went round though, I was gutted to find no credit left on the Xbox live account, what a fucking disaster. I love Halo 3, but single player doesnt even feel like a game after playing online… it feels like a chore.

Due to the dire circumstances, Glacier’s suggested I play the new Mario game they’d acquired recently on Wii. I havent played a Mario game since … sheeit, Mario Kart maybe? And I was a bit skeptical as to how enjoyable manoeuvering the cartoon plumber could be, especially when compared with shooting shotguns and throwing grenades at various cunts online.

How wrong I was.

The game is fucking mean-ah. Admittedly I view Mario with a somewhat rosy tint being that the N.E.S was the first console I owned, but nostalgia aside.. Nintendo really know how to make games. The controls with the Wii-mote are easy enough for your mum to play, yet its still fun as for even the staunchest gaming dude. I aint even gonna get into the in-depth reviewing I’ll leave that to the pros here(Peep the numbers). What I will say though is the game is worth playing just to get to the ‘Ray Surfing’ stage. Fun-est shit out! See below.

p.s Is it just me or does it look like they bit the whole Mario flying through the stars thing for Kanyes album artwork.
