... you think games should be judged *solely* on graphics? That's essentially what you're saying here. So therefore, Lair is better than, say, the first Metal Gear Solid? You're off your rocker, mate, if you don't mind me saying.

...I'm another who ain't so keen on the SSB series. I'm a big Ninty fan, but this is one of the few Nintendo franchises that has never really done anything for me.

That boxart is pretty cool, mind. And hell, I'm sure it'll sell a gazillion copies anyway, regardless of what I think. View

"Just another Mario game"?

I'll be the first to admit I was pretty underwhelmed by Mario Sunshine. But having tried out three levels of Mario Galaxy myself, I'm more convinced than ever that this is a genuine return to form for Mario; infact, it was probably my favourite game at E3 (That said, I didn't get to try out Rock Band, heh). The way some of the puzzles exploit the planet-shaped levels is great.

My only slight concern? It could turn out a *touch* too easy. Then again, difficulty is a tricky thing to ascertain from playing three levels. View
