Gearheads of War

at least in terms of sales. About three days ago, I walked into the Best Buy warehouse and was greeted by a tower of wiis. I quickly called my dad and told him to come and buy one as quick as he could because I knew they would sell out before the end of 4-5 hours. So far, the only games I have are wii sports and Mario Galaxy, so this review will be based on those two games. Wii sports is a blast... if you have about 4 friends over. Playing it by yourself makes you feel like a complete loser and you eventually ask yourself why you don't actaully go bowling. But for coming free with the system, you really can't complain about it. Mario Galaxy on the other hand, is an absolute blast by yourself. The gameplay is pretty much genious and the difficulty progression is absolutely perfect. They seem to add a new obstacle on every planet and before long, you feel like you have seen everything, and then they throw a completely new twist at you (such as a planet captured in a capsule with anti gravity floors all around). Overall, for $300, I would really only recommend picking one up if you tend to have a few buddies over a couple times a week. Mario Galaxy can only last a few days tops and I really don't know how much I am going to end up playing it by myself after I beat it. Until the new Smash Bros. comes out, I don't know if I would really recommend buying one, especially because they are nearly impossible to find. As of right now, 360 is definitely king by a large margin in terms of gameplay and value.
