Too many games, not enough time.

If you haven’t noticed, there have been great games coming out lately, such as Galaxy, COD4, Assassins Creed. But why, the hell, do they have to come out in the same frickin month! All through the summer I was looking for a great game, all I found were mediocre ones until Bioshock. Why do companies have to release all the games I want in such a short time peroid? I bet you money if I asked the bastards themselfs they would say, “But,but,but Christmas” You know what? FUCK CHRISTMAS, I GAME ALL YEAR AROUND. Where the hell was Call of Duty 4, and Mass effect when I was bored out of my mind all summer?

Now you might say. Dante, what happened if those games weren’t done in the summer. You know what I would say to you? Bull$hit. Do you really believe, Rock band, GH3, Mass effect, Super Mario Galaxy, Assassins Creed,etc. all happened to wonderfully be complete right before Christmas. Bullshit my friend.

What I’m trying to say is, I know companies love to have their AAA tittles all released right before Christmas, so parents can buy it before everybody figures out it is complete and utter shit. But would it really kill them to give us something decent during the summer, you known, when I don’t have school.

Mario Galaxy, 1 hour impression

Just got Mario Galaxy for Wii, and this is definitely the best looking Wii game to date, and brings old memorys of Mario 64 back. The game starts of with Peach getting kidnapped blah blah and you have to save her. Instead of walking through castle doors you are on a planet getting to new planets through the observatory. The game really achieves the feel of gravity for each planet, letting you orbit small ones. I don’t have too much else to say, just go out and get the game.

Update: Just beat the game (get 60 stars) which took about 2 days. After that you need to get 120 stars to complete the game fully. The game is great and right now is the highest reviewed game to date.
