Well I was nearing the end as I alluded to those claims. I was all "I'd prolly say Metroid Prime is the best game..." or "Metroid Prime would be a better fit" when talking about how I didn't consider Halo 3 to be. But fair enough, I certainly did imply it strongly enough for someone to assume I'd already played it through. :)

But nope, just did earlier today, and to be fair I was about 75-80% through it when I did my write-up on Halo 3, so I had a pretty good idea of where it was heading. :)

I actually played a bunch of it (30% it said, and the game is huge) when it came out, so I already knew I loved it that far all this time, but I was rediculously wealthy then (lived at home AND had a job) so games kept coming in at a pace I couldn't really play them at. Absolutely disasterous way to play games I realised eventually of course, so now I try my best to buffer them. Many a game fell casuality to that kind of interruption though, with Prime being most notable. :/

@ Alimo; yeah, I wish we could bring out the happy bits of gaming more. All too often we seem to descend into this destructive, depressing pit of criticism and disproving other's opinions. While it's fun to discuss things, and I gladly do, there should be room for simple, pure appreciation inbetween the yelling YOU'RE WRONG! the loudest.

but then again you think the new Mario is game of the year based on a few videos ;P
LOL, seems Simon gets carried away.

But best game ever ?, surely that can't be true.

I had a similar thing with Tales of Symphonia, I got side tracked, then later picked it up again and it turned out to have some of the most emtional story telling i have seen in a computer game (besides FF7 perhaps), one minute I was happy the next sad.

Depends. How true do you need it to be? :)

I mean it's MY best game ever, but there are two factors to consider;

A) I have played an awful lot of games, but I haven't played every single game out there. I haven't even played every single game similar claims have been made about, so it's be stupid of me to presume to really know what's the best game ever. In fact, it'd be sort of stupid of just about anyone.

B) I might appreciate things in games that other people don't, and vice versa. Simple really.

So "true" is awfully relative here. I would go so far as to say that you can accurately say whether a game is truly good or not, but you can't really put an objective "best ever" stamp on something. At some point beyond all that quality it gets inevitably personal.

But yeah, if "true" means whether it's the best game I have played, then yes it is true. :)

No, I think no game is fairly judged based on a few videos, one way or another.

I think you can judge a game quite easily by a selection of videos.

If you like Mario to begin with, then the videos just prove whats new the game has to offer.

I already know that Lost Odyssey is guna be kick ass.

In an attempt to divert my own attention from spoileriffic Galaxy material, I'm going to point out the window and yell FLYING ELEPHANT WITH FUNNY PANTS!


And also, Zack and Wiki is really racking up the scores. :O

Capcom should just rename themselves "Awesome"... even though it'd sound retarded when you're trying to convey how they are awesome.

Wii Nights to be linked to Wii Weather, which for me means rain,all the time.
God, my A-Life will be pissed off
That means when it is miserable and grey outside it will also be miserable and grey in-game, specifically in the "A-Life" mode that lets you cross-breed creatures and create your own sandbox adventures.

Super Mario Galaxy day 1 sales in Japan:

130.000!

Isn't that a bit low for a country that already has over 3.7 million Wii's sold?

People can call the Wii the biggest succes of this generation anyday just because it sells a lot of hardware, but if it doesn't even sell it's traditinional flagship Nintendo titles you can really start to doubt if all those hardware sales mean anything..

Have the traditional Nintendo fans turned their backs on the Wii?

In other news, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will have a re-recording of the song Dreams Dreams from the original. I listened to it about five seconds and it reduced me to a small 4x7" girl running through tokyo with Sailor Moon tears everywhere.

Just picked up Zelda PH. Pretty awesome so far. I love how they have actually remembered that this is a handheld game and so dungeons are way shorter than the console counterparts. Love the controls, graphics and music. I also got a free Zelda screen cleaner which hooks onto the DS.

Segata Sanshiro blew up when he averted that nuke. :O


I've heard whispers that Space Channel 5 is sniffing around Wii-ville. I'm a huge fan of Part 2, but with EBA/Ouendan 2 around it really would have to be pretty spectacular to measure up.
