Super Smash Bros: Brawl

The new Super Smash Bros. game coming out looks pretty sick. If you've played Super Smash Bros: Melee or the original from N64, you know how good these games are, and this one looks even better. Even though I don't have a Wii, I can't wait for this to hit the shelves, dawg. The best thing about it is that you get to be the badass dude from Metal Gear Solid. Thats right. You get to be fucking Snake. Shit's gonna get intense. When you get people together, these games are fun as hell. This comes out in Feb. 08 and if you got a Wii, pick this up, and then call me!

"The game's fighting system is in line with the fast and furious system used in the GameCube's Super Smash Brothers Melee. You'll have the same assortment of attacks that break down to normal, strong, and smash. You'll be able to string together combos and bust heads pretty easily once you dive in. Better still, you'll be able to charge up some moves and dole out a painful kick into the background.

To supplement your physical attacks, you'll be able to collect all manner of items that can help you deliver a beat-down on your opponents. As before, the assists range from familiar Nintendo characters who come out and wreak havoc to weapons such as fans, bats, and firearms. The various items, which break down to normal, assist trophies, and the ever plentiful Pokeballs, are nearly always useful and showcase a goofy sense of humor. You'll see everything from pixelated Advance Wars characters to metroids, and Mr. Resetti of Animal Crossing fame pop up. In addition, a new item called the smash ball--awesome when you collect it but completely hateful when you can't--will appear on the field. The new item will enable the character who knocks it open with a series of blows and collects its power boost to unleash a unique, powerful special attack that's basically death on a large blunt stick for any foe it connects with. The interesting thing is it's possible to steal the special attack from an opponent if you knock them around enough just after they collect it."
