    Wow......lot's of 360 gayboys in here. God Of War 3 owns every 360 game ever made. The only people who enjoy 360 games are little toddlers who like kiddy entertainment.....pathetic. Gran Turismo 3 has sold more than the entire Flopza Motorsport franchise put together! Flopza is floppy turd, GT is a masterpiece, simple as that.

    Forza 3 is not perfect, it can be lonely online, graphics not exhilerating, limited car selection, and poor cockpit immersion, but the gameplay is SPOT ON. Learming the proper racing line and breaking distance has never been so much fun!
    As for NSMB Wii, I personally purchased 2 copies and recommended 4 other purchases. Really wanted to see the game succeed. Just imagine what Gold SEGA could have on their hands with "Project Needlemouse".... Better be 2D!

    Too bad this "game" badly sucks more than anything released in the last 5 gens. It's not even a real Mario game, for God's sakes.
