This weeks game of choice was an old classic called super mario galaxy. I beat this game for the first time about a year ago. I'm still playing God of War with my wife and a few other things but this last week i got really swamped with homework and needed to play something to wind down on a few occasions. My first two games that i went to (which were Little Big Planet and Warhawk) had mysteriously disappeared, which was very disappointing. So I decided on mario galaxy because I had been wanting to beat it again for a while.

Mario galaxy is a really great game. I am constantly blown away by the guys at Nintendo that can still come up with ideas like these. It is very much like mario 64 and mario sunshine in that you go to different areas in the game and collect stars and as you collect more and more stars new areas open up that get more difficult as the game goes on. But somehow they manage to do something great and different in each game. In this game the princess gets kidnapped by bowser on his starship and taken to the center of the universe. Now its marios job yet again to find a way to get her back. This time mario is hopping around on different planets ranging from the size of a house to the size of a golf course.

Currently my favorite thing about the game is the gravity. It is really amazing how they have done it. Each planet has its own gravity and mario can walk all the way around it. He can also jump really high and if he gets close enough to another planet he will get caught in its gravity and be pulled toward it. It is really cool and really hard to explain, but very fun to experience. I say good job Nintendo on this game. It's very amazing. I am looking forward to the sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2 that is coming out next year.
