Sony Sponsored Mario Galaxy Review: “The Worst Two-Player Experience”

I was reading Gamefaq and I came across a thread about this SONY Sponsored Super Mario Galaxy review. This is so funny, you won't believe this, read the comments too. Click on the review too and read it, he too a screen shot just incase they took it down. Just when you think companies go too far...

He says how the new Ratchet game looks better, ya, but fails to tell you about the slower framerate and massive screen tearing, and overall way lower scores. That is just one of his comments.

If you played Mario you can see the game is leaps and 360 degree plannet jumps over most games today. Go to look at the rest of his comments, its really funny.

I'm in no way a 360 or PS3 hater, but this such BS on the reviewer and SONY's part.

WOW, just, WOW!

Lots of new games

I got Super Mario Galaxy and it is great. It is one of the most fun games I have played in years. It looks, plays, sounds great.

There are so many game coming out this and next week, and thats just the Wii.

I got Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. I am really liking the game, the game looks way better than the review made me think, there is normal mapping (shininess, on some enemies and bosses, looks nice). Its 30 frames not 60, so it feels a tad slow. But the game is really fun, and the Wesker missions are cool, a lot of new background info. It is a very enjoyable game, I want to play it with the zapper, that’s next week.

I got CONTRA 4 and it is F-ing awesome. Really hard though. I beat it on easy..barly. Easy is only 7 of 9 levels though. On Normal so far, I can get to the second boss. I unlocked Contra NES already, working on Super C, good stuff!

Next week is the Wii Zapper with Links Crossbow Training, Ghost Squad (Zapper time, for RE:UC too) and Geometry Wars. Have fun!

Dreamcast Kid

This episode you get to meet one of my favorite customers, the Dreamcast kid. Let me see if I can adequately put to words what this youngster is about:

To start, he's about 9-10 years old. To understand his personality, you need to feed a child that age a large amount of crack, then give him a six pack of Red Bull, a giant size Hershey bar, a 2-liter of Coke, and a bottle of maple syrup to wash it all down with. Yes, he's that hyper.

There are two people browsing the store, and he opens the door and bolts in, cutting through the couple like a linebacker and saying "scuse me" after getting 5 steps past them. He's now at the back wall, literally bouncing up and down looking through the retrogaming racks. He then runs up to the counter and starts yelling at me "do you have any Sega Dreamcasts in?" No, I tell him. "Do you have any Sega Dreamcast VMUs?" No, I tell him, to which he then comes around the counter and points at a pile of memory cards I have waiting to be put out. "There's one! There's one!" Actually it's a N-64 rumble pack, but he swears it's a VMU. "Do you have any Sega Dreamcast power packs? I need one." No, I tell him, only a handful of Dreamcast games back on the wall.

Then he does a few more laps around the store...and by now his dad comes in. His dad actualy buys something, but I can't remember what it was, because for the whole rest of the time the kid just rapid-fires questions at me, one right after another. "Is that a Plasma TV?""When's Halo 3 coming out?""Do you have any Wii's?""What's your favorite Sega Dreamcast game?" (he always says SEGA Dreamcast.) "Can you order any Sega Dreamcast power cords?" I felt like I was on a quiz show - he wouldn't even give me time to answer any of the questions......I fear for my life the day when I actually HAVE some Dreamcast items and the kid really gets excited!

One day Hunter pulled out his camera phone and tried to get a picture of him. The results? Each shot was too blurry.
