I was able to play the Nintendo Wii at my local gamestop. The game I played was Super Paper Mario. It was great! Though I was dissapointed that I was not able to play a Motion sensitive game, It was still very fun and easy to get into. I would love to have one, but they are very hard to come by around here where I live. Almost every one wants one.
I also played Guitar Hero II for the PS2, for the first time, and I enjoyed it alot. What surprises me is that Sony's still makeing games for the PS2. Maybe it's because The PS3 is doing so poorly?
Anyway, A surprise in that game, was that the Trogdor song, From a very popular website called Homestar Runner, was a selectable song! It's pretty entertaining to play the guitar to it. Some of the music was very easy to play, while some were so fast, I was booed off the stage, and on easy mode too! As I went on, I got better.
This is a bit late, But the countdown was revealed to be a blog, explaining about SSBB. This week, it's the Items That trigger your signature moves (Final smash as it is known as) I'm glad they finally shedded some light about this, because Signature moves (I can call it whatever I want!) Was in one of my wishlists for the next super smash bros. (Before the game was announced mind you.) So I was afraid that was dumped after all these months of no news. Of course, what was I thinking? This is Nintendo We're talking about, Not Sonic Team, or Ubisoft!
That's all for today. Until next time...

Super smash bros. brawl
Admit it, you knew that a post about this would happen sooner or later!
SSBB Is the next hyped nintendo game since Zelda:twilight princess. It was a very exciteing day for every nintendo fan when the trailer was released, whether they were Mario fans Kirby fans, Metroid fans, Kid icarus fans, or even Metal Gear fans, the first trailer had gotten many hyped up.
The second trailer was nothing special, it just showed off gameplay. But it did introduce Fox's new design, and showed off new levels. The graphics shown in the trailer were very impressive, even more impressive than other Wii titles!
Just last week, The SSBB page was replaced by a mysterious countdown. Fans were baffled by this, and were hyped once again. This morning, it was revealed that it was a blog to show the game's progress. Good thing, or Bad thing? Personally, I think that it is a sign that the game will be comeing soon this year! Plus there may be some more characters revealed someday!
That's all for now. Until next time.

Ape Escape: Underrated PlayStation Game
Well, I've made a goal to mention my favorite game franchises at least once for a while, so I'm gonna go to one of my favorite PlayStation games, Ape Escape. If you hate Ape Escape, then you hate me! Because of the Stinking Halo lovin' citizens of America, Ape Escape even less noticed than Kirby! Anyway I'll start off with my first Ape Escape game, Ape Escape 2. Ape Escape 2 involves a kid named Jimmy, (cousin of the first ape escape hero) Who accidentally releases a bunch of Helmets to make Monkeys smarter. Eventually, The antagonist of the first ape escape game, Specter, grabs ahold of one of these helmets, and regains control of all the monkeys. Jimmy being the one responsible for all this mess, must go around the world. Pipochi, Jimmy's pet baby monkey, Is a character that accompanies Jimmy on his quest. When ever Jimmy ends up dying, Pipochi will refill your health, depending on how many health items you collected. It's a Fun game, you'll get gadgets and inventions to solve puzzles and capture monkeys. Monkeys are the key enemies, but you cannot kill them. They are indestructible. You're basically capturing them with a net.
My second Ape Escape game was Ape escape 3. This time, you can Play as a girl character, and a boy character. The story this time is about Specter getting his hands on the Helmet again, and teaming up with a scientist who is against Humanity, and helps the Monkeys. together, they create a TV station to hypnotize the viewers. So the hero's, Kei and Yumi go off to save the world. The girl character, Yumi, is a famous singer, and there are some fan boy monkey's out there that will faint when they see her, sightly changing the game play this time, you can change into different costumes, changing your ability, like Ninja, and Knight. This time, there is alot more more parodies than the previous ape escape games, Such as Spider man, the Terminator, Beauty and the Beast, Grease, and Star Wars. This game is an example of when translators get lazy. The first two ape escape games had clever names where monkeys were named after famous actors and characters.
Recently I was able to find Ape Escape Pumped and Primed. It's pretty much a party game where ape escape's first hero, Spike returns. The game takes place in scyber space, where a competition is being held. Four newcomers are introduced in this game. One is a Girl Named Helga (LOL)who is a long time champion. Her true purpouse is unknown until the second half of the game. Also introduced are Monkeys that look like they came straight from a Gorillaz music video, The Pipotron. One is Red, who Looks like an evil, yet overused badguy, Blue, who has a large mouth with razor sharp teeth showing, and yellow, who's mouth is missing, and has only two beady eyes. These guys are awsome! I can't play as them without thinking of Gorillaz>, not that thats a bad thing anyway. As you progess through story mode, depending on how good you do, you will gain prizes from monkey fanclubs such as Weapons, movies, and (My favorite) alternate costumes. You may be thinking "APE ESCAPE IS TO KIDDY LAWL!!1!!" But don't judge a book by it's cover. Pumped and primed is a dark game, and its sequal, Million monkeys is even darker.
I want Million Monkeys. BAD! But thanks to the American Halo boys, Me, along with other American Ape Escape fans, probobly wont see it. Some are saying it will be on the PS3. DANGIT! I DON'T WANT TO SPEND 9 MILLION BUCKS SO I CAN PLAY THE GAME!!! No offense Sony fans, but i lost all faith in Sony ever since they made the price $600-$800 bucks. I'd be great If ape escape moved to 3rd party, but unfortinatly, i'd be like makeing Mario 3rd party. The apes are practaclly Lord Sony in Japan Like Mario is Lord Nintendo around the world.
Enough ranting, Million Monkeys Is the sequel to Pumped and Primed, where the monkeys Go mad and use not only military weapons, but also giant mechs and Flying battleships. This time Specter is a playable character (YEA!) along with his team of monkeys, to find out what's gotten into the monkeys. Also, the human characters play a big role in this, where they are once again captureing monkeys. From watching the movies, I was surprised how dark this game was. Ironicly, the style of the game is a lot more cutesy than the main series games.
There is even an ape escape anime on the air. Like the Kirby anime, it is a combination of computer animation with 2-d animation. However, the show uses more comp. animation than Kirby's series. The series is good, but my only dissipointment was that the Pipotron were different from the games. Insted of their Awsome superpowered sinister selves, they are Klutzy Team Rocket-esce Dum-Dums. Still, I think the yellow pipotron's hilarious.
Thats all for Ape Escape today. I haven't played the first game, but someday I will, and expect a reveiw
