Now that mid-terms are out of the way, I've been relaxing a bit more and finally able to get some serious play time in with Viewtiful Joe which arrived last week. Two words: this game rocks! Totally addicting, fast paced action with awesome special effects (called "VFX") such as Slow motion Matrix style, Mach speed, and Zoom motion... this game has a style all it's own. The characters are laughable and the storytelling is pure mellow drama at its comical best. A highly recommended game for anyone who loves stylishly unique, original games with flair.

I just can't put this game down... "Henshin a-go-go, baby!"

There's more classic Zelda gaming goodness coming to a local Gamecube near you. I just learned from the guys over at IGN-Cube that a bonus disc containing the following games is in the works: The Legend of Zelda; Zelda II: The Adventure of Link; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask; and a demo of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Possibly a pack-in with new Gamecubes, or a bonus for those who pre-order The Four Swords, either way Nintendo is showing determination to consistently deliver the goods!
