Super Mario Galay 2 Preview

Brilliant. Simply brilliant! The game begins and you fall in love. It is just like any other 3D Mario game. One of the best things is the introducton of Yoshi. He brings with him 3 new power ups, the Blimp Fruit, Bulb Berry and Dash Pepper. The Blimp Fruit inflates Yoshi and makes him float for a limited time, the air runs out VERY quickly though! The Bulb Berry turns Yoshi into a light source that reveals hidden platforms! The Dash Pepper causes Yoshi to go much faster and be able to climb much steeper paths though if he hits a obstical then he falls to his death!

Mario also has a few new power ups too. He has the Cloud Mushroom that gives him 3 clouds. If you shake the remote a cloud becomes a platform for a limited time. You can collect another Mushroom to recharge back to 3 clouds! He also has Rock Mario that turns him into a rock bowling ball when the remote is shaken. All the old power ups return also! Rainbow Mario now has a new running animation too!

The many new levels are brilliant too. Some are based on old ones but still feel new! The boss battles you have to do again sometimes though :(

The hub is now Starship Mario that is connected to the Map Screen! It is owned by an morbidly obese Luma called Lubba. You can take Yoshi for a walk on the Ship, just for fun!

Overview:
Exels over the original Galaxy in every way and could well be the best game EVER!

Sonic Colours

The latest Sonic game is set in an intergalactic theme park run by
Eggman. Eggman is using the powers of the wisps evilly though so it is
up to Sonic the Hedgehog to save them. Tails will travel with him as
the different coloured wisps give them different abbilities! I think
it takes guts for Sega to release a Sonic game in space so soon before
the release of Galaxy 2. The gameplay is a mix of 2D and 3D. It is
expecting release in Q4 2010. Check out the June/July issue of ONM for
more info!
Check out the announcement trailer on YouTube:

Thanks to ONM for the heads up

Bit Trip RUUUUuuuner!

Here's my review!:
It's brilliant. I love it. The idea is to collect points and power ups
while avoiding obsicals. If you hit an obsticle you will fly straight
back to the beggining. That's the frustrating bit about bt, it's
flippin' hard! But over all a great game with beautiful graf-x. But
somehow I have forgotten to mention the great soundtrack, the reason I
bought this game. Runner has a brand new chip tune soundtrack, just
like the 8 bit wonders you have been used to!
Overall this is a fun game with only some minor design flaws: 92%

BTR Preview

Here is my preview of Bit Trip. Runner

This is shaping up to be a good game. The idea is that you avoid enimies and collect 'notes'. It has a simply brilliant chip tune soundtrack that makes this game one to watch. To jump you press 2 and to duck you press 1. There are no other controls so Commander Video will keep on running! As usual in a Bit Trip. game it gets VERY hard VERY quickly. Lukily it isn't as bad as a certain Mega Man so does not break the game. The enviroments start 2D and flat but soon open up to rich 3D enviroments.

This is the forth Bit Trip. game but this keeps the same BT. formula, is there anything new? Lukily BT. cannot die. It's like Mario, it doesn't matter how low or how samey it is the fans still love it!

So to conclude...
A great game with a great soundtrack. Bit Trip. will not die. I can't wait to download this on Friday. Look forward to my review!

WarioWare DIY Review

Here's number 1 in my new collection of game and software reviews!
Can you call this lazy? As Nintendo want us to make our own games it
must be. But it's still fun, surely this makes it a good game?

There are plenty of tutorials to go through that will give you an in
depth view of game making, lukily this isn't a bore. You are shown the
ropes by the grand daughter of the inventor of the game maker, Penny.
She takes you and Wario through graphics, music and AI. It feels like
a three way conversation that you are really involved in.

It also includes over 100 pre made games made using the game maker
just to show how versatile it is. Games can be shared locally or
globaly. They can also be sent to a wii in WarioWare DIY Showcase, a
brilliant game in it's own!

This game is a near perfect must have for any DS owner who wished they
could make their own games.

Next I will be doing a preview of Bit Trip. Runner!
