We rate the most exciting prospects with presumptious insolence

Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Nintendo
Wii

But will it sell?
Of course it'll sell. But, given the flopsy performance of Mario Galaxy (which didn't exactly rule the charts) it probably won't sell a huge amount compared to, say, Halo 3.

Knee-jerk verdict
It's so 'more of the same' as to be shameful, but we know the only shame felt will be ours as we hungrily get involved all over again. 8/10

Note: Please remember that these these 'reviews' are merely lighthearted scores based on nothing but our own arrogant prejudice and opinonated ego. Duh. We will review the game fully when it is released.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Nintendo

We reckon...
The endless bursts of images and several trailers prove that Nintendo has preserved the Super Smash Bros. formula. Quelle surprise. However, theres more than a few new gubbins toliven up the party - a level editor, saved films feature new Mario-themed levels, Metal Gear Solid characters, Sonic the Hedgehog, a new-look Zelda... and so on. Though, let's be honest, we're hardly about to be blown away by sweeping changes to the the gameplay now,are we?
