Okay, I've got to run, but here are the notes I took while reading.

I will be back later tonight to discuss this!

( SO MANY SPOILERS )

Well, I succumbed to fate and bought Super Mario Galaxy 2. A lot of the music is just slightly different from the corresponding music from the first game, which is a little uncanny valley, but it's still awesome. Every galaxy is its own little showcase of cleverness. I checked out the critical reviews last night with a little hesitation, but it ( Read more... )
