Ugh… so over the weekend I spent a little time trying to complete Super Mario Galaxy. Each level you complete you get a star. After 60 stars you can go save Princess Peach which is purdy much beating the game, but you can keep going and so some crazy levels and many are really tough. 120 is the total number of stars you can get, I have 119. 15 purple coin galaxies show up. All involve getting 100 purple coins. Sometimes there are only 100 so you have to scour the galaxy for each one. Sometimes there are 150 purple coins and you are timed.

This is the last one I need, and it is a doozy. The green pieces disappear if you touch them, and the yellow ones flip. So you have to plan your route well. I wasted about 30 tries before I found a few vids on the internets. It seems I have been going the wrong way. Also the super long jump is a bit tricky. The peep in the vid is really good.

Super Mario Galaxy has been very worth the $50. Well over a month of us both playing and I am almost to the end. I have 8 more stars to collect. Yesterday was a really good day. I sat there and played for about 3 hours and got 4 of the really hard stars I just can’t seem to beat. Some levels I played 30 + times. Once I get all 120 I can play the game as Luigi who runs faster, jumps higher, but is a bit harder to control. Then get the 120 stars again and finally play the 121st star. See you some time in February

This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee takes on the plumber.

We enjoyed rabbids 1 when we rented it so figured 2 would rule. Well if you read the reviews they say meh….
A pretty good party game though. It is much better when played with multiple players. I am sure Ray will love me babysitting him with it. A wii is the best babysitter evar.

a game in which the character does nothing but inject himself with heroin while chasing a dragon that he can never catch.

ummmmmmm OK?

According to Ludia, the game will see Ramsay “comment on the culinary creations of players, as well as judge their overall performance. The game will also feature a recipe book with several of Gordon Ramsay’s favorite food concoctions for players to print, try out and share.”

rounding out the extremely hard to hit 5 posts this wed with some oiled babes playing wii
How they hang on to the controllers being all oiled up I don’t know how or care

Lots of vids

I dare you to try this and not look like you need your mittens pinned to your coat when you board the little yellow bus. Dig that music, too.

Picked this up friday. I had heard good reviews, but still could not really grasp how it was played. Just imagine you are playing in an MC Escher painting and can jump to other micro world which have a bit of gravity. Theresa is kicking some butt at it. Once again the controls are what makes it so fun. Takes a while to get used to walking upside down.

EDIT: I just gotta say this is the funnest game I have ever played. Uniqueness is what does it. Plus the thing looks beautiful. THe changes in gameplay and all the little strange moves you can do with the controller is awesome.

We are both loving this game and can’t wait to beat it. For sure it is one you can play and play over and over.

apparently so. most definately gonna check these out. Here is a page with lots more cool games and vids.
