Super Paper Mario

New Super Mario Bros
$49.99
Finally more then one player done right on a Mario game. This games multi-player is sorted very well, it's tons of fun to play, especially for mario fans. It's a great mix of classic mario and new gameplay. There is a ton of stuff to this game, even if you run right through it and beat it, it opens up more of the game if you go back and do it right.

Like I said in the title, if you own a wii you gotta get this game.

Super Mario Galaxy
$49.99
In terms of gameplay, graphics, originality, etc, this beats out any of the past Mario games. The graphics blew me away. It really looks like a high-quality cartoon rather than a game. The movement with the Wii remote and nunchuk feels oddly natural even after decades of playing Mario games with the classic video game controller. I also think it's pretty cool how Mario can literally run around small planets in true 3-D mode. I haven't seen another game quite like it.

Unfortunately, the game is simply too long to really rank as fun. The game designers seem to have fallen into the classic trap of believing that gamers actually care about the story. We don't. We want action and to kill bad guys. However, in Mario Galaxy, it is impossible to skip the cutscenes (which are long and many). In terms of the dialogue and cutscenes, this almost feels like a Zelda-style RPG rather than a Mario game. I played for over an hour and only saw a few Goombas and one boss (a giant piranha plant). If I could at least have avoided the cutscenes, I probably could have gotten much further in the game for that time I played. I'm just too busy right now to beat a game that will probably take days, if not weeks, to beat. That's too bad, because Mario Galaxy had the potential to be the best mario game since Mario 64.

Super Mario Galaxy Commemorative Launch Coin

not a review, but it irritated me to see this listed as the first game in my search

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
$24.99
Feel like it is waste of time to play this. Played a couple of hours but still don't what this is all about. Not a good deal
