I admit, B-K is hella fun, and a very pretty game. And it is one of the best 3-D platformers I've ever played. But when it comes down to it, Mario blows B-K away. No game has made me stare in awe the way Mario did. But still, Zelda is better than Mario, so ... I've played Star Fox, and it was awesome, but a total rehash of the 16-bit Star Fox. And I think that F-Zero X just wasn't up to par with 1080 Snowboarding and WaveRace ... ~Matt "The Bureau of Incomplete Statistics reports that one out of three."
