Given the hour, I’m assuming that a lot of you are likely waking up to this review. Perhaps some of you have fancies of Nintendo’s latest flagship title Super Mario Galaxy dancing in your heads, holdovers from the dreams cultured while you slept. Some others are taking a pass, insisting that Nintendo’s latest return to the well is one that you can certainly afford to miss, and reserve your anticipations for the remainder of the holiday season’s big releases. I mean, Mass Effect has naked ladies in it, after all.

Consider this review a plea: You folks stuck in that aforementioned second group, put aside your apprehensions and get comfy with the blokes in column A. If you take nothing else away from the following deluge, just bear this in mind: Super Mario Galaxy is about as fun as gaming gets this year. Period.
