Super Yahtzee Galaxy
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw has turned his attentions to Nintendo's flagship product for 2007 (no, not Wii Play, the other one), posting a review of Super Mario Galaxy. Longtime fans of Zero Punctuation may be surprised to hear that he likes the game. He described how he started off with bad memories of Super Mario Sunshine and therefore didn't expect much, but found himself getting completely into Galaxy.
Of course, he likes the game in the angriest, most openly mocking way possible, but that's his way. Aside from a major quibble about the controls (after opining that the game would have been better with a GameCube pad, he astutely suggests that the game "denigrates the very console it's trying to sell), Mario Galaxy comes out as an overall positive experience, seeming to redeem "the lurching atrocity that is Nintendo's main franchise." Even if it does retread the Peach kidnapping.
As usual, this review is not safe for work. Your work: this is not safe for it. It's embedded after the break for your protection.
