Enjoy playing it dude. Believe it or not, but im actually addicted to Wii Sports (Bowling and Tennis only).

I recommend Mario Galaxy.... it is in my opinion the 'Super Mario Bros' of this generation(people generations).

Also, seems like Okami is on schedule for an April release on Wii.... 480p widescreen, Wii controls, and thankfully the famous paper filter. I think this is one of those 'must haves'.

Had a question for the PS3 owners here...ive noticed some reports that some games actually require you to 'install' them (as in like with a PC game). is that true ?

Also.... i was thinking about the HD-DVD thing, and was wondering why Microsoft(Or Nintendo for that matter) buy the format and publish games solely on that format. I mean lets face it, DVDs are pretty easily pirated, and given the fact that BR-DVD won, it will eventually be cracked(there's more incentive to). But if one of these companies gets a hold of this format, they can control it by making it solely useable with their systems, and they get the storage boost without having to pay royalties to $ony. Just a thought.

I think Microsoft ought to get a XB360 out with built in HD-DVD drives.

It was....meh.

Yeah, it was OK. I still didn't get the same thrill out of it that I did with Super Mario 64. Still fun, though.

Ya me neither. I mean it was fun for 4 days but it was too short and easy as all hell. I can't imagine anyone still playing it 2 months after the fact.

Previous Mario's (minus sunshine) I played through over and over for years.

I still break out M64 now and then.

Awesome game, I can see myself playing it for decades.

Yeah, but I thought it would seem pretentious to point both things out.

This is what I get for typing the vague phrase into google and accepting the first hit without looking closely.

Not that this doesn't make the both of you bastards anyway.
