How can you not like football after that game. I predict it will be endlessly replayed on NFL Network for years to come. Next year will be even better.

Got my Official NY Giants Superbowl XLII CHAMPIONS T-shirt yesterday. The same one they were wearing in the locker room after the game. I'm going to be riding this wave during the long, tedious summer.




Now, I know you guys all HATE the Wii, and Nintendo in general (and Metal Gear?! Metal Gear has GUNS in it), but not seeing the appeal of Smash Bros. is a real shame. It is certainly chaotic, and button-mashing might get you a few wins, but the real genius of Smash Bros. is the supreme level of balance.

Smash Bros. is a fighting game for people who don't like fighting games. No multi-button combos to memorize. Rather, impeccible timing and countering is the key. And it is the best multi-player game ever coded. Online play is fine, and I welcome its inclusion in Brawl, but Smash Bros. is the pinnacle of local multi-player gaming.

The appeal of pounding the crap out of beloved videogame characters speaks for itself. Bitch-slapping Peach; pommelling Pikachu, choking the shit out of Luigi; surely you can see the giddy thrill in such gameplay. Sonic's inclusion is every child of the 80s' wet dream. Brawl is going to sell millions worldwide. Dust off those Wiis and prepare for battle.

I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again... I don't HATE Nintendo. It's true, I'm not a huge fan of the Wii. I just don't enjoy motion controls. I can't help it.

I still love the DS, and if Nintendo goes back to a standard control scheme with their next system, I'll be the first in line to buy it.

I just finished watching The King of Kong after hearing you guys mention it on the site so much, and was not a let down! Great Movie.

I too don't shit on Nintendo, I don't even shit on the Wii, hell, I'm actually looking to buy one somewhat soon.

The new Smash most likely won't change my mind about the series as a whole, being that it's pretty much the same thing. I just don't hold it up to a Holy light like the rest of the gaming world.

Metal Gear...like I say in the show, if they ditch the God-awful "story" I might actually love the series. I have fun PLAYING the game, when it actually gives you a chance to without making you set the controller down to watch a 30 minute cut scene or make me mash the X button to get through a stupid codec conversation as quickly as possible. Forgive me if I like to actually play games.
