Last month, I had one burning question for Mario Bros. creator, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto. I asked him why Princess Peach isn’t a playable character in the new Mario game, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which was just released yesterday.
He said:
Well, originally I thought it would be nice to have Princess Peach in there as a playable

I’ve been a flighty gamer this fall. Like a wee little faun hopping from glen to glen. After my passionate — and I’m talkin’ Twilight passionate — obsession with Halo: ODST, I briefly, sluttily hooked up with a whole series of games. Like:

Everything’s bigger, faster, louder — in other words very sequel-y. But it’s still about moral choices, people. You’re not actually supposed to enjoy incinerating splicers with your awesome plasmids!
The other day Peter and I were floating around on our hoversofas being fed grapes by our sexy robot servants when the question of the year’s top 10 games came up.
It seems ridiculously early in the year, but for various reasons having to do with the exciting field of magazine production, we have to start thinking about it.
