Super Mario Galaxy has totally blown me away. I've also just picked up Driver Parallel Lines (again). On one hand is a great game generally acknowledged as such. On the other hand is a great game (with fantastic music) that is generally overlooked.
.....well
I like it anyway
Have also ordered Endless Ocean (thanx for the heads up on that one Captain
).......can't wait to try that one out. For someone who's been scuba diving in the Windies, I want to see if this even remotely reminds me of it.
Also took time to order the BEST disney cartoon they made - Jungle Book platinum edition. The platinum editions will apparently not be released again - once out of stock, they won't be reprinted. Also, as they're cartoons (MUCH lower res/screen info to code c.f. a "film") there will be little benefit bringing out a high def version any time soon (Disney has no plans to straight away anyway)...... so my advice is, if you see one you like, buy it before it runs out (I also have Lion King - only because it "reminds me" of the West End stage version which was Excellent).
Finally, I also ordered quite possibly one of THE best Sci-Fi films ever made - Blade Runner 5DVD definitive collector's edition. Contains ALL versions of the film ever released as well as a fully digitally restored and remastered
new Ridley Scott edition (the previous "Director's Cut" actually had little to do with Ridley himself - it was more of a studio effort).
Comes in a collectors tin. Costs a measly £17, so that's been pre-ordered too.
Am now walking around with a noticeably more spritely step seeing as my wallet has been lightened somewhat
