Starting with Reviews now. I'm moving on up! I guess. Anyway I'll start with a big one, Super Mario Galaxy 1.

Story: :star: :star:
The story is overdone a bit, and by overdone, I mean over-recycled. Bowser kidnaps Peach. Mario fights Bowser. Mario rescues Peach. Not very innovative, but involving Rosalina's troubles is a nice touch.

Gameplay: :star: :star: :star: :star:
The gameplay is very good. The Fire Flower makes its first 3D Mario appearance in this game. The gravity concept is also grand. The spin is also well incorporated and used. The only problem I find is the Boo Suit. Its too bulky and hard to control. Why did they bring it back in SMG2? Another problem is the Co-op mode. Although it makes the game slightly easier, all it does is make a second coursor appear. It's more innovative in SMG2 where the Co-Star Luma was invented.

Music: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:
The Music in this game is fantastic. The Super Mario Galaxy Orchestra really got the job done with some amazing music. Especially in Gusty Garden and Battlerock.

Design: :star: :star: :star: :star:
Another strong point about this game is the design. Most levels are well designed. Gotta love the Melty Molten Galaxy and Flipswitch Galaxy. The design of the levels and power-ups are great for the Wii console, but there's just a tiny room for improvement.

Difficulty: :star: :star: :star:
The game is average in terms of difficulty. Hard-core fans of the Mario series and people just getting into it alike will have no trouble with this game. It gets hard near the end of the game, so it can frustrate players, also players going for 120 stars will be sitting at the couch for a bit since getting all of them will take many lives and hours of gameplay. Especially the Purple Coin missions.

Overall Rating: 18 :star: of 20 :star: Or 4.5 out of 5.

Good Points: Amazing design and music.
Bad Points: Limited Co-op. Boo Suit is hard to control. Story is over-used.

Mech Assualt is one of my favorite shooters of all time. Its only for XBOX.

Story :star: :star: :star:
The story is basiclly you're sent to the fictional planet Helios to liberate it from a zealotus army known as the Word of Blake. Your primary mission is to destroy a set of Orbital Guns that will fire at any dropships flying through the sky. You find out their potential early in the game when they shoot you down.

Gameplay :star: :star: :star: :star:
The controls are simple and they give you a tutorial on the controls. You basiclly take pilot of a BattleMech. BattleMechs are machines ranging anywhere between 10-30 feet tall and 35 to 100 tons in weight, carrying just about any weapons you need to blow the s*** out of anything. Unleashing the weapons causes buildings and tanks to blow up. The gameplay is very easy to pick up on.

Design :star: :star: :star:
There are a few different design schemes, an ice land, a city, a lava field near an active volcano, And all the Mechs look great. The color schemes you can pick out in multi-player are very good too. There's some major room for improvement though.

Music :star: :star:
There isnt a lot of music in this game but the music that is in it is pretty good. Well, not really. Its alrght, but not really innovative and there's long gaps early in the game without much action to place music to liven up the battlefield.

Overall Rating: 12 :star: out of 20 :star: OR 3 :star: out of 5 :star:
Good Points: Great gameplay and design
Bad Points: Lack of music
