No spoilers, but FYI the SO beat SM Galaxies in no time at all.  At the end we were like "That can't be it, right?" Then the credits started rolling.  Still a super, awesome, fun game though.

Oh yeah, RE4, best port evar.

Also my understanding is that you can 'beat' galaxies, as in finish the storyline, and only need to collect about half the stars? As in there are galaxies and such you need never visit if you don't want to play the hard stuff.

How is the co-op mode, I'm hoping to get my Lady in on some of that action. She is into video games but normally rts' and action rpgs, she tends to avoid anything like platformers and fps' where there's pressure to react quickly etc. but I was hoping this assist role would be interesting enough that we could play it together.

The co-op mode is awesome - your star catcher can stun many attackers, help you jump higher... it's pretty awesome.  The SO's a pro, but there were definitly situations where my help was needed.  I'm not good at games like this, but the SO is able to seriously help me when I play, though I preferred to be his helper - these sorts of games are too damn frustrating for me!

What SS said.  I make Pedro do the hard jumping puzzles, but I like doing the "collect all 100 purple coins" levels (which he hates) so we make a good team.  And a good P2 is essential on some of the boss levels. 

Most romantic video game ever.

my brother has something like 44 stars, and we have not encountered anything like that yet.

Oh dang.  Sorry for the mini-spoiler. 

Yeah, see, we have 80 stars.  There are 120 in the game, and a whole bunch get unlocked when you hit 60. 

Enjoy.

oh, shit, 120!

awesome! I read a thing online which said there were 60, and I was so sad. We were so sad that we were near the end of the game.

This game is so good.

Damn I got sidelined on Mass Effect, I need to get back to this.
Also, I heard there was 121. But this may have been a paranoia inducing rumour.

Ash: Sit that lad down with Super Mario Brothers. But give him a snickers or something because that's a pretty funny comment.

That's the coin that only shows up if you beat it both as Green Mario and Red Mario, yes?

(Don't look at me, my recent gaming credit is as a Medium Bass Player on Rock Band and slowly trying to beat Bases Loaded for the NES without any cheat codes. In the dictionary, under the words "casual gamer" there is a picture of my stupid ass, playing Dr. Mario for fun.)

Yes JL - most romantic game ever.  Purchased for the SO for our anniversary, played on new years eve right up to kiss time.

New Super Mario Bros for DS is not romantic - it is the opposite.  For me it is the "don't touch me, I have to get to a save point" of video games.  The SO finds this charming and cute though.

which reminds me, lamest thing ever: hanging out with like 7 guys and 2 girls on new year's eve, and at midnight the two girls kiss each other.
I mean, it was awesome in its own way, in retrospect. I have trouble thinking of my friend that I have known since semi-small times as a "hot lesbian," but, you know, her girlfriend was totally a hot lesbian. She is like, the man-directed porno version of a lesbian.


Also, suddenly I'm at a point where every single star that I haven't gotten in Mario is wayyyy too hard. I have not gotten enough to be at this point already, and it's embarrassing.

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit pondering bringing the mic stand up from downstairs and playing 2 player Rock Band on my lonesome.

I was never able to get into Guitar Hero for the simple fact that I've been playing guitar for nearly a decade, so the potential for vicarious rock stardom was never as ripe as it was for most other people. That's completely different with Rock Band; I totally geek out on the drums. And though it took some time work up the nerve, I've been doing a lot of singing too. So, yes. Rock Band = awesome.
