Linked In

Super Smash Bros. Brawl came in from the UPS yesterday, so after the rest of the family went to bed, I fired up the game. I had spent a bit of time reading through the manual, so I knew some of the controls before I started. I had never played any of the other Smash Bros. games on previous systems, so I came in pretty green.

I fired it up and selected Link as my character. I spent 10 or 15 minutes in the practice area, working on my moves against a defenseless Birdo. Then spent a few minutes with a single and two Birdos fighting back. I was now ready for some real game play.

In the solo mode, I pretty much breezed through the Normal difficulty, and only had to use one continue. Overall, I had fun, I think there is more fun to come, just need to dig in a bit. Not sure if its not that tough, Link is a bad ass or if I am a natural at Smash Brothers, more to come....

New Game!

I have been eyeing up Super Mario Smash Bros. for my Wii console. I have never played it or any of the predecessors, but I have read & heard a lot of good things about it. So I been snooping around ebay of late trying to find a good deal on this game.

I had looked at Game Stop and their used version was still $45, which is only a 10% savings, which I think says this is a good game if they can charge that much. And good Wii games never go on sale.

Yesterday at work, I finally won for what i wanted to pay, $26 shipped for Super Mario Smash Bros. on ebay, I feel good about this find! More to come on the game play and what I think of it. I am sure I will have Jacon over to play, we can report on our head to head results.

Speaking of head to head results, I beat Jacon quite regularly in head to head on Mario Kart :)

I also have been bidding on Zelda & Call of Duty games on ebay as well.
