Last night was a landmark for me, I finally got the last star I needed to complete Super Mario Galaxy, I'm sure even the people who live at the other end of our road heard my shouts when I got it :)
I'd played the game ages ago but had got cheesed off trying to get the last 10-15 stars and it had been relegated to the back of the cupboard. But last week I decided I'd start from scratch to get in the mood for the follow-up game which is due out June 11th.
I whizzed through the earlier levels quite speedily and was quite pleased to get past my total number of stars from the last run-through. But there were the last few levels that were just so frustrating that I just couldn't seem to complete them and I have to admit to getting quite irate at times, much to my OH's amusement!
But I was determined to get those 120 stars under my belt and after a lot of cursing and blinding, I finally did it last night.
The point of this post was not to talk about completing SMG but to talk about something I'm going to do that I've never done before......pre-order a game. It may not seem much to 99% of gamers but I've never subscribed to the hype of needing a game the day of release, especially as prices tend to drop quite rapidly after that initial release.
However, I've loved playing this game, despite the occasional frustrations, and having seen the trailers for SMG2, which looks amazing, I just know that come June 11th, I'd be kicking myself for not pre-ordering it. I don't think I can even wait a month to get it for my birthday! So I'll be pre-ordering my first ever game just as soon as I work out the best place for getting it here on time as my OH assures me there's nothing worse than your pre-order not arriving when it's supposed to and seeing everyone else rave about their new game!
This post will lead on to my next whinge........cutscenes in games
