So, I got Super Mario Galaxy today and it's awesome! I thought the hype was so huge I was bound to get disappointed, but it really is that good. And fun! Damn, it's been such a long while since I just had fun with the game! And it's addictive as all hell - the only thing I could think of during a meeting I had in the afternoon was "so many minutes until I get home and get to play some more".

So, anyone else got the game? What do you think so far?

Whoa, talk about least likely OP for this topic...

Not, but I've heard nice things about it from people who have it.

*lacks a Wii. Can't afford $200 price tag*

*is jealous*

Though I recently picked up Lunar Knights for the Nintendo DS, and am loving it. Currently making my way through a 100-level bonus dungeon with absurdly powerful enemies at the top floors.

How so?

I just wouldn't have expected you to post this, I would expect you to ridicule the OP for feeding the heteronormative gaming industry :)

Whoa, talk about least likely OP for this topic...

How so?

If I had a Wii I'd get it. I've got an Xbox 360, and boy, am I sick of playing Halo 3!

I've actually been playing System Shock 2, constantly. It happens every 6 months or so, I'll be really into a game, and then I'll get bored of it, then I'll crawl back to SS2.

Even with the worthless US dollar? Bummer.

I guess it's my time to reciprocate - I have coveted the DS ever since it came out, but the thing keeping me from getting one is that the outdoors are a much needed hindrance to my video game addiction.

*is jealous*You'd think Fass will eventually invite you to play with his wii. :D

I miss my 360!!!:(

Seriously, I only got half way through halo3 before I went to university, and since my 360 is a family console, I can't play the bastard until I get home for Christmas....yes, I'm sad and computer game obsessive.

It's nothing special. Go buy a midrange computer and play some good games. Deus Ex comes to mind, Morrowind too. And I'd mention SS2, but I might sound obsessive.

Have you played SS3? It's like SS2, only shiny. And not as good.

EDIT: Deus Ex - oh god yes. Also, a personal old favourite of mine: MDK2.

Rock Band rules. My hand is bent into a claw right now from the deathgrip ive had on my guitar all day.

SS3 doesn't quite exist yet (and hopefully never will if it's being made by the developers that are supposedly making it). I think you might be talking about Bioshock, and I did like that, a lot. Not as much as the old favorites though.

I've never played MDK2, and seeing how its for PS2 (mine is busted), I probably never will.

What specs does your PC have?

I won't have a Wii until Christmas. While I doubt it will be the case, I hope it doesn't bore me the way the 360 and PS3 have.

Even with the worthless US dollar? Bummer.

Even then. Regrettably. On the other hand I just found out I'm getting a thousand dollar laptop for Christmas from my aunt, grandma, cousin and her husband. So it's more or less offset by that.

I guess it's my time to reciprocate - I have coveted the DS ever since it came out, but the thing keeping me from getting one is that the outdoors are a much needed hindrance to my video game addiction.

I've mastered the difficult art of walking/hiking while on the DS. Someday soon I'll master playing the DS with one hand while driving. Pedestrians and drivers alike will know my DS handle and fear!

But it really is an awesome system, and has a boatload of excellent games. Another game I have that I love is Etrian Odyssey, which is a delightful throwback to the days of dungeon crawling for hours on end.

You'd think Fass will eventually invite you to play with his wii. :D

He's more than welcome to cover the air-faire out to Sweden, though I may be inclined to stiff him on the last part when I arrive :D

How dare you not mention the Fallout series. A pox upon the lot of you.

I've never really been interested in... whatever you call those types of games these days.

Galaxy is a ton of fun. No chance that I'll properly finish all galaxies though. Not without a sneak peek at a guide after I've exhausted my other options.

I'm not a big fan of turn based games. Plus there is the small issue that I haven't played it yet. :p

I will though, I swear. And Fallout 3 might be fun. Maybe.

Mario is ubermeh.

Nintendo sucks, Wii has shit games and Super Mario Galaxy was boring

Well isn't that nice how you put that so partisanly. :rolleyes:
Please leave fanboyism at the door.

Anyway, I would be playing Galaxy right now if the Wii wasn't sold out in shops everywhere until January or so. Galaxy isn't what I've been particularly excited about though, rather the conclusion of Metroid Prime.

Metroid Prime 3 > Halo 3 Lolzors Microsoft and Bill Gates teh sux0rs. :lol:

On a relatively unrelated note, has anyone played Battalion Wars 2?

Not, but I've heard nice things about it from people who have it.

I was (crassly) talking about Bioshock. As for MDK2, I played it on PC before the PS2 existed. I loved the style of it, the ridiculousness with 1950s stylings.

EDIT: And a big whoops on missing the Fallout Series [/shame]

Oh, haha, how did I miss that?
I'll look out for MDK2, I've been needing something new.

I'm also on the lookout for Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter. I haven't been able to play it for years, and although it's not a GREAT game, it's actually pretty cool, especially for an aspiring developer like me.
Unfortunately, I looked at The Pirate Bay, and there were NO seeders, and nothing at all for the PC. Not cool.

We haven't gotten a Wii yet...

I'm not a fanboy, I just think that the Wii sucks. None of the games for it look any good, and the games I have played for it (including Mario Galaxy) were shit...same with the Gamecube

Fun? Possibly. A good game? Quite possibly.

A good Fallout game? Forgive me if I don't hold my breath.

U R Mr Gay!


Duddits?

Is it wrong that I knew what this topic would be about as soon as I saw the title?

It was a tough call, but I decided to bypass a Wii and get an XBox 360 instead. Super Mario Galaxy would've been worth it, but the XBox has so many games to choose from, and so much coming out for it... I mean, I just couldn't refuse.

But I still want a Wii, if only for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy.

We have a Wii and a Xbox360 in our house. The Wii basically sits and collects dust while the kids are on the Xbox360 almost exclusively.

Haven't you heard? While the dollar may be just over a dollar, prices are still being adjusted like it is sixty cents.

Me and a few gents were at a game of poker yesterday and those of us who lost our monies decided to play galaxy instead. We ended up taking turns playing it for hours, and one of my friends said "this game makes me feel so gay but amazing at the same time" XD

It's $250 at the local bestbuy. I remember seeing it somewhere for 200 at some point, though.

What luck, the perfect topic to announce my first console purchase. I bought one of them snazzy silver PSPs with Daxter today. I needed something to keep me entertained this winter at work (last year was unbearable), so on one of my irregular treks to civilization I snagged one up. Also bought that Test Drive Unlimited (I like fast cars and the tropics, it should keep my mind off 3 ton trucks and blizzards :)) and the new Medal of Honor Game cause I like killing Nazis and shit. Just have to find the new Worms game now. :)

I don't own a Wii so I'm to be pitied.
