I'm a little disappointed that none of the other hunters from MPH weren't in Brawl in the first place.

...and I seriously would have loved to see Wolf Link and Midna in there. I mean, Toon Link is alright as a fighter, but Legend of Zelda is my favorite video game series and The Wind Waker was the most disappointing video game I've ever played. I don't need any more reminders.

I would actually like to see a few more third party characters in there, but they really ought to stick to video game characters. Naruto is obnoxious and, beyond that, his video games aren't even good enough to merit SSB status. He's an anime character for Pete's sake.

(Besides... Kakashi is WAY cooler than he is. :p)

I would cry with laughter if they could get Pac-Man in there. I would so fight Kirby with him.

Too bad they'll never get any Microsoft characters in there, 'cause I would love to prove to the world that Samus could kick Master Chief's butt.

I would say that they're all worth it. In any Mario game, there's generally no reason not to want to go through and get every single star because almost all (if not all of them) are fun to get. (I'm not sure I can say the same for Super Mario Galaxy, however, as I haven't been all that impressed with it up to this point.)

Twilight Princess is simply too much of a masterpiece to not play every single part of it. There is no part of the entire game, and I mean none at all, that isn't fun. If you haven't done everything there is to do in Twilight Princess, my only question is... why not?

As for Metroid Prime 3, there is simply no way for me to play a Metroid Prime game and not get all the scans and power-ups. This is not necessarily because it's less fun not to, but because I'm an obssessive completionist. If I haven't gotten every power-up, scanned every logbook entry, and done EVERYTHING there is to do, it's just not "done" for me, no matter how much of a pain it is. I will say that I've always thoroughly enjoyed the lore entries. The backstory in each game is just fascinating.

I have just this to say about tripping: #@$%.

I think overall the game sweeps the floor with Melee. I find the fact that it seems slightly slower more puzzling than irritating. Once I've really had time to adjust to it, it'll probably feel just fine.

Am I the only one who wishes Wolf Link and Midna were somehow in here instead of Toon Link?

Ha, I'm SO lucky. The GameStop near my house got one shipment of three on December 8 and I got the last one.

...Okay, so it was a little bit messed up, but I got it repaired...

Shut up! My Wii owns you. 

I think blocks work just fine. I thought it was just a play-on-words back with the GameCube (y'know, cubes... blocks... whatever.) Did Nintendo use blocks before that? I never owned a Nintendo 64. Anyway, I thought it started with the GameCube, so I did think it a little strange when Nintendo used the same unit on the Wii, but I can understand it just fine. I think it's even a little easier than bytes.

Wondering what the best shooter to get right now is, that has a popular online community and good gameplay, I have heard so-so things about the socoms, how are they and should i get the 1st one ($20) or spend $40 to get the 2nd one, are they anything like socom II on the ps2 ? - or should i just get mgs : PO (haven't played mgs3 yet), or is syphon filter better(greatest hits now i believe). Can't decide out of all of these, also wondering what the better version of lumines is.SniperSaito

Now, I haven't played SOCOM: FTB (the first one), but I can easily recommend the second. The online play didn't do a whole lot for me, but then I don't play shooters very well competitively... I spent months on Metroid Prime: Hunters and always sucked at it. You'll probably like it; there are tons of players, maps, and modes, and the single-player is really top-notch. If you're expecting a lot of high-octane action it's probably not right for you, though, as stealthy playing is essential to having real success in the game. I'd hazard a guess that the first FTB and Syphon Filter both have dwindling online populations since they've been out so long, but you never know. As for the others, I haven't played any of them, seeing as how I haven't played that many PSP games (I find it easier to shop for DS titles, since I more consistently enjoy them).

At any rate, I myself was curious about one game - I could use a good action-adventure on my PSP, and I was considering Prince of Persia: Rival Swords. Will I be totally lost having never played a POP game before, or will I be able to understand the story? I'll probably enjoy it even if I don't know what's going on, but a decent story is important to me in a game, and it'll be some time before I can get my hands on Warrior Within since I can't play M-rated games. I know it just came out, but perhaps someone who's played The Two Thrones could enlighten me, as Rival Swords is really just a renamed port of that game.
