we have to add the black bars for legal reasons, in game there are no bars.

Fist bump, Charlie Barratt. Rust and Shipment are awesome.

I envy people with artistic talent.

I never thought I'd say this, but next year might be the year I buy a Wii. There are just too many excellent-looking games coming out for it. I fell prey to the DS's siren song earlier this year, and haven't regretted it for a minute.

Also.

"LBP and R&C are kids games."

WHICH MEANS THEY'RE TOTALLY LAME AND BAD RIGHT!?!? Ungh.

It was Joe Newman, our editorial intern's idea. That's his charming mug in the videos! Kazoo cameos by "the real Chris" Antista, Charlie Bear-hat and on the mouth harp none other than Bender Wilde aka BluesBot2000. Shot and edited by yours truly =)

I was actually kind of shocked at how brutal the demo was. Just that small taste was probably enough to classify as one of the most violent things I've played. Not that I'm complaining.

Ninja Gaiden lol. That whole ad campaign never fails to crack me up.

Fantasticly logical thread Mr Newman, one of my "more favourite" top 7's.

But aren't the majority of (and i HATE to say this) "Hardcore" gamers male? Therefore i think developers/publishers have pretty much realised that sexism = sales.

@dravendefay - Your obviously a retard.

NSMBW is NOT the best game on Wii, and it is NOT the best Mario 2D platformer. I'm a Mario fanboy, and you my friend are some middle age weirdo who has just got into gaming with his 6 year old daughter. This review is reasonable and i than Brett for making it so far. I hate it when people say bad stuff about Mario, but this does not. It is portraying a fair opinion that fits perfectly into the form of a review. Your opinion is incredibly bias, not to mention idiotic. There is no "best" Mario platformer, they are all great, but this is the weakest one. I don't own the game, and i won't buy it (soon), but i've played it, and i agree with this review almost 100%. SMW, SMB3, SM64 and SML are way better than this poor excuse of a Mario platformer, its the first one on a console in 18 fucking years, it should of been better. Go to hell.

And the thing that makes me even more angry is the fact Miyamoto-san is even considering implicating the crappy Super Guide into SMG2, which he say's will be more challenging than the last. All i can say to that is...

WTF?????!!!!

@SuperBadnik:

odd coincidence you posted right before me.

i love GTA:CW, and you dont because youve never played it im sure.
