@Mickeymac, I might just do that.

I am offended by this comparison.

It's better than the second game,even if it is a poor shooter.

It's an FPS where you shoot aliens and it actually has a decent story. Those were the only criteria the poster set, so it fits.

@Willerz: Get Xenoblade it is AWESOME. I'm 56 hours in! The game can be frustratingly difficult, but when your not throwing a controller over the few overpowered bosses it is really fun. Running around the world is great and the fights are outstanding. Easily one of the greatest games this generation.

@SomeBitTripFan, I'll definitely second that.

Can someone please inform me as to how much playtime I should expect to receive from, "Wario Land Shake It!"? Say, if you desire to return to it again someday. After you've unlocked and collected everything, does it provide any type of replay value? Or should I say, is it an enjoyable enough experience to return to it someday?

To be quite honest, I wished Nintendo would rename it Wario Land Shake that Replay Value Everywhere because there's way too much of It!

No seriously, every level has multiple achievements that provide worthy replay value. Every level also has a mandatory three treasure chests to find. There are over thirty levels, plus some pretty epic bosses. The challenge is pretty hard yet fun. Sometimes I felt like it was impossible but after time I figured it out and it was so creative how GoodFeel lays out the levels. There's also a pretty good surplus of content to unlock. I've spent nearly 25+ hours on it and I'm not even done yet. Did I mention there are secret levels?

^{I liked Wario Land Shake It! so much, I prefer it to Super Mario Galaxy 1.}

Wow! @Chrono_Cross, that sounds really amazing. I guess I'll have to add, "Wario Land Shake It!" onto my, "Must Have," Wii titles list. I also have, "Super Mario Galaxy 2," on that list. I still haven't finished Galaxy 1 yet, because, "Xenoblade Chronicles," has been dominating all of my videogame playtime. I'm trying to purchase every definitive Wii title, before the WiiU arrives. I know their prices will gradually increase, afterwards. I don't want to be forced to pay an arm and a leg for every Wii title I really want to have in my collection. So far, I have, "TLoZ: Skyward Sword Bundle," (Still unopened, but I had a prior copy.), "Xenoblade Chronicles," (I'm in awe!), "Super Mario Galaxy," (So far, my favorite Mario title of all-time.) and, "Fishing Resort," (A surprisingly phenomenal fishing title).

By the way, do you happen to produce gaming reviews @Chrono_Cross?

Edit: Oh! Duh! I should've read your signature. My bad.

If you love games like Super Mario World and Super Metroid (one being a platform game and the other being focused on backtracking), you will love Wario Land Shake It!. It is most definitely the best Wario game out there. As for Super Mario Galaxy 2, well... that's the best game on the damn system, lol. But Xenoblade is really the ONLY excuse to why you don't have time for either of those games. You're spoiled right now.

I do write amateur reviews on my Tumblr and I'm a reviewer on WiiWareWave/NintendoWave. Writing is my hobby so I enjoy it quite a lot.

Edit: 19.99 new at GameStop!

Yeah, I'll admit. I guess I am a little spoiled.

I'm definitely going to purchase a copy of SMG2. I've been informed that it's just like SMG, but does everything so much better.

Edit: Oops... Nevermind.

Wario Land Shake It! is $19.99 new at GameStop. Trust me, if Galaxy 2 was new at $20 I'd be buying myself another copy.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is righteous. I could write three paragraphs of why I love it, but I'd never spoil anything for someone who has yet to play it for themselves. lol

Like me.
It's sitting there all nice and sparkly just waiting to be opened on that oh so special day . lol But, I'll be diving into Super Mario 3D Land this month before E3 rears it's epic head, so Galaxy 2 will have to wait just a bit.

Galaxy 2 is the better game. You should do yourself a favor and play it before 3D Land.

Man, i cannot believe that I was missing out on De Blob for so long. I just got the game two days ago and i'm already in love! From the colorful visuals and graffiti style to the superb music, this game is just great. I love it's style and highly recommend it.

The controls kinda put me off when I rented De Blob years ago. I still wish De Blob 2 had stayed as an XBLA title. I might have bought it then.

@Mickeymac Well it's kinda cheap now so for 15 bucks, what do you have to lose?

So I was curious as to the differences between Boom Blox and Boom Blox Bash Party. Is one better than the other or are they both worth getting?

Bash Party is meant to be an improvement on the first in every way (having said that, the first is still meant to be great). I guess you could get both so you have a large number of levels to play, but if that's not a concern just go for the second.

any one have a 3ds

Ummm... Yeah, there's an entire forum full of threads dedicated to 3DS. Why in the world would you choose to visit this thread and ask such a question?

*Shakes head in a disapproving manner.

I'd like some advice on shooters if anyone can help.

I'm interested in the Conduit 1 and 2, but have read mixed reviews on their campaign modes. I do not play online, and I don't care about multiplayer (local or online). Which of these two titles (The Conduit or Conduit 2) has the longer, more satisfying single player mode?

I don't really care for modern warfare games such as CoD, but if it comes down to it, I may give them a shot. I've heard the best reviews for Reflex Edition, Black Ops, and World at War. Can someone also pick which of these 3 games has the best single player mode?

Thank you!
