A Jeremy Parish review tells you two concrete things:

1. That the subject of the review is a videogame
2. That the reviewer is Jeremy Parish

After that it gets tricky.

Pretty much, yeah.

Actually he mentioned the game being difficult as it progresses and the last stage a huge jump in difficulty that would "kill any nintendogs player" or something like that.

I know the game rocks. I just locked the other thread cuz it got dumb and we don't need two of them. You guys can be dumb in here.

This is a great game. Zelda TP didn't do shit for me, Warioware is over too quickly, and I pretty much haven't touched my Wii until Mario came along. It's awesome. Put aside your Nintendo hate and play it, then once you've finished, go right back to it.

Oblivion · « **Reply #85 on:** November 02, 2007, 09:33:56 PM »

I dunno, Lyte. It's difficult enough to trust someone that likes 3D Mario games, let alone someone that never did (well, til Galaxy I mean)

It took them three tries, but they finally got it right. Or maybe it's simply because platformers in general have gone so downhill that this game just seems that much better in comparison.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #89 on:** November 03, 2007, 12:17:50 AM »

In Rainbows is by far my third favorite radiohead album. I'm still listening to it every day or two, it's very good. I wish that videotape wasn't the last song, there should have been a more upbeat song to end the album, as I'm all depressed at the end of the album as it is. Also, track 8 sucks, and the tracks between Faust Arp and Reckoner are filler, so the album isn't as strong as it could have been. Still, I'm anxious to hear the B album next month when my box set gets here, and looking forward to getting a lossless version of In Rainbows. I doubt I'll ever like it as much as OK Computer or The Bends though, both of which are solid all the way through. I don't think I'll ever like track 8 all that much.

I can't wait for SMG, I wish it was out tuesday here :'( Or is it?

if you want crap wagglish minigames try Ratchet and Clank. ugh!
at least it has a "fuck yo sixaxis" option.
sixaxis tumbling the marble minigame is kind of fun, but the flight controls are LUDICROUS
