I wasn't that interested in the game, I did like the first Prime, but the back tracking put me off. I just watched this trailer though and WOW! This has instantly become one of my most anticipated Wii games! It just looks fantastic!

It did I remember now! :P ...And.. That one level in the sky, when you fell off the stage, you fell down to the outside of princess peach's castle!

I really liked it! I thought it was boring to start with, but once i'd got to the underwater, abandoned city I was blown away. I loved Mario 64 and everything about it, it was so magical and new. Nothing has ever come close to being as exciting as Mario 64 once was but with it being the first 3D game I ever had, I doubt anything else will. One of the biggest 'wow' moments was when in hazy maze cave, you go deep underground and find that big water monster! I was like ''WOAH, A LAPRAS?!''. Oh and another Hazy Maze Cave moment, the bit where you turn into metal mario and there is a stream, but if you walk down the stream to far... you fall out of the waterfall which is outside princess peach's castle! I thought it was great at how the world connected. Yeah, Hazy Maze Cave was by far the best level, for all it's secrets! Mario 64 is my favourite, then Galaxy, then Sunshine. I really liked Sunshine, especially Isle Delfino but it didn't have as many crazy moments as Mario Galaxy.

I love the old watercolour pokemon drawings!

The Pikachu rice bowls are so awesome!

Are there any particular sayings and phrases that annoy you? Personally, I hate the saying ''If it aint broke, don't fix it''. I think it's one of the worst, I totally disagree with it. If we all thought like that then nothing would progress. For example, if Nokia followed this saying, in the late 90's they could have been like, ''This 3310 works well as a phone, it has the ability to send texts and has decent sound quality for calls so we may aswell not bother making any new versions'' and no one would have the pleasure of taking pictures and surfing the internet on their phones. Everything can be improved, it's how we progress! So, what about you guys? Any phrases or sayings you've heard lately that have annoyed you for some reason?

No Hub for Mario Galaxy 2 confirmed! I'm furious, I loved Princess Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64. Whilst the hub world in Galaxy 1 wasn't very good, surely they could have just IMPROVED IT instead of not having one altogether. This has really annoyed me and as far as I can see, this will destroy the exploration side of things, not that there was much exploration to have in the original Galaxy anyway.

I loved the first Pikmin but never got 'round to buying the second. I shall make it my mission to buy and complete Pikmin 2 before the third one arrives. Do I go for Gamecube game or New Play Control?

WHAT!? D:

I love this game! Much more than Banana Blitz and the music is fantastic! I love the way it builds up as you get through the levels and then finally the vocalist starts singing as the credits come up. The best music in a Monkey Ball game to date. I've had fun using the balance board and it felt incredibly... new, which is a feeling I haven't had for a while on the Wii. though I must admit, now I've got to the harder levels I have started using the Wii Remote :P

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8556882.stm Sony show off it's new motion controls. What kind of effect do you think it will have on the Wii?

I thought, apart from the wolf, that Sonic Unleashed was pretty good. That's a game featuring the blue hedgehog. Then again, after that I thought Sonic and the black knight would be good and... I was proven wrong.

It's ironic that just today I got Luigi's Mansion pre owned! I've been dying to play it ever since I got rid of it and it's just as full of charm as I remember. I love the way that Luigi hums the theme tune and that all the ghosts have back stories. I was also surprised at how well the graphics stood up too, considering its... 9 years old? maybe 8. As much as I wish for a Luigi's Mansion 2 though, I doubt it will happen. If you remember, it didn't have a terrible reception, but it wasn't a great reception either. It's blatantly Mario Party 9.

NEON NIGHT RIDERS

I'm really shocked, Sega did a lot to promote this and it's a decent Sonic game which I thought would appeal to a lot of people!

Its most likely going to be Mario Party 9, i'm surprised it's taken this long already! There were so many Mario Party games on Gamecube, the Wii comes along which would be perfect for the series, with motion controls and such, and nothing. Maybe it will use motion plus? And DazzyBee, where did you get DJ Hero for £40?! I've been wanting it for a while but wasn't willing to pay loads of money for yet another piece of hardware!

My hair is like... a lazy mow-hawk. Also known as ''onion hair'' :P

Excite Truck, there are so many great levels, I love the huge scale of them. I wish I could remember what country it was in, but one of them has a HUGE hill with one of the most impressive jumps ever, it blows my mind every time.

That's happened to me with Gamestation before! I swear they don't check if their games work when they get them. I was especially livid when I brought a second hand game and it didnt even have an instruction manual!

Im so hyped for this game! The original is my favourite Wii game and looking at all the new screens and especially the new trailer I just can't wait. Oh and I know most people hate Pinata's but its nice to see them in atleast one level Galaxy 2 really seems to be bursting with Mario goodness from the entire series. From thwomps to the actual music, it's just all looking (and sounding) immense.

I was blown away by the Mario Galaxy trailer! I haven't looked at anything else thats gone on though, apart from the live blogs. Im gonna go on IGN and such later to check out more Galaxy and Metroid screens! I did think the Monster Hunter Demo disc sounded interesting! Hopefully we will get that in the UK too!

Been bit of a drought recently, atleast as far as im concerned, so this week I've been playing Donkey Konga again! I got what I would call a perfect on the Pokemon Theme, No misses and No bads! Tell me what you think ;D And the drought is over as I shall be getting Sega All Stars Racing tomorrow

I agree! Gusty Garden Galaxy is amazing! The music and all! I'm tempted to go back and play on that level even though I have all the stars.

I want some classic franchises! What's happened to Donkey Kong, Starfox and Kirby!?
