Quick Update: The results are in gamers; get ready to purchase No More Heroes on launch day! As if you needed another reason to purchase the highly anticipated No More Heroes, Famitsu recently reviewed the Suda 51 Wii exclusive title and has given the game a 34/40 based on four ratings out of 10 (9/8/8/9).

Awesome news and I cannot wait to play this off beat adventure. Be sure to check out the newest issue of Nintendo Power as they have a terrific write up on the title. I applaud the developer for taking a risk and really bringing us a unique title that we can all enjoy. To say that I am a fan of the art direction would be a huge understatement and I am eager to put my wiimote skills to the test.

Who is with me in getting this one on launch?

Kmaxx here and I just want to give you my thoughts on this new release that finally put Mario and Sonic in the same game. The game play is fun and takes the Wii and Nunchuk controls to the limits.

As you begin the game you only have one circuit but as you proceed, you get to unlock new circuits and events. I have to admit the hardest event I have come across thus far is archery. As Ziek said to me, this bow is sweeter then Links.

The fun factor of this game is definitely a 5 out 5 with the replay aspect being a 5 out of 5. It appears that they put the real world and Olympic records in the game for you beat. The only annoying part of the game is this box that pops up every 30 minutes telling you to take a break. Other then that I suggest you buy the game. If you don’t want purchase it right away, click on the link to the left for Gamefly and rent it I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Well this is Kmaxx signing out, happy gaming fans!

In a mere 6 days gamers we will all be playing platforming goodness in the form of everyone’s favorite plumber, Mario. Gamers by the hundreds of thousands are eagerly awaiting this title like the second coming and will no doubt be a phenomenal title.

To add fuel to this ever growing fire, the good guys over at IGN recently reviewed this incredible game and they walked away extremely happy (to say the least). Below are just 2 new screens of this beautiful title along with an excerpt from IGN. I hope you all enjoy and like I always say, “Game On”

**Don’t forget gamers we currently have 2 CONTESTS going on right now! Click here for details!**

Super Mario Galaxy is one of the greatest platformers I have ever played, Wii’s best game, and an absolute must-own experience. And to me, this odd trek through space really does feel like the true sequel to Mario 64. It harkens back to the N64 classic with nostalgic faces and places from the Mushroom Kingdom, but it also re-invents the franchise with new space-themed mechanics and fresh Wii-enhanced controls. It is, as I have said since I first played it, a near-perfect combination of old platforming values and new design.

Except to be blown away by the fantastic level challenges and galactic variety. Expect to be blown away by the addictive gravity effects — you will jump off ledges just to see if you can rotate all the way around a structure. And expect to be blown away by the tight controls and beautiful graphics.

Incredible. You can read the rest of the review here.

Anyone getting any of these titles?

If you are one of the 10 million plus Wii owners, chances are you are eagerly awaiting the release of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption that is set to be released this week on a Nintendo Wii near you. After getting a perfect 10 score in the recent Nintendo power, I am positive that your waiting has turned into an obsession that simply cannot be ignored.

Some may argue that Nintendo Power gave the game a perfect 10 because the magazine is produced by Nintendo themselves but this is not the case gamers. Simply put, Metroid Prime is the game of the summer and all Wii owners with a pulse should purchase this title.

Recently the good guys over at IGN have released their score and it is as follows: Metroid Prime 3 Corruption received a

Some highlights of the review can be found below:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was originally set to launch with Wii, but the year-long delay has been very much worth the wait. Call it a first- person shooter or a first-person adventure — doesn’t matter. I call it the best game on Nintendo’s console. It is clear from the moment you pick up the controller that Prime 3 was developed exclusively for Wii. Not only do the new controls respond quicker and with more precision than any dual-analog-helmed FPS ever created, but the gesture system works brilliantly, too…

Here are the latest Game Informer reviews:

Bigs, The (all platforms) - 7.5/7.5
Mario Party 8 - 7.25/6.5
Mecury Meltdown Revolution - 6.5/7.5
