Super God of Paper....Stuff

There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of beating a game.
And I got my bloody satisfaction: I beat God of War 2. And may I just say, it was a doozy of a game. Comparably to the first GoW, it felt much more complete. I rmeember reading an interview about GoW by David Jaffe, and he said that a few of the levels had to be rushed due to the production schedule. And it was a shame, really.
But GoW 2 felt like part of a complete healthy breakfast. However, it left me with a new hunger: what was next?

I have a snack for now. I just downloaded StarFox 64 for the Virtual Console. Ahhhhhh, the memories. Nabbing medals, time trials, vs mode. So much goodness in that game.

The main course, however, is the new Super Paper Mario. Oh man. It looks like a deliciously long and new game.
The premise is hilarious in its own right:
- Princess Peach(Toadstool) has been kidnapped (again!). Toad rushes to Mario and Luigi, who feign their disbelief, and rush off to Bowser's (King Koopa's) castle to confront him. They catch him unaware and begin their attack, but Bowser says he was just about getting ready to nab her, and he hadn't done it yet. Just then, the true enemy reveals himself: an evil black wizard. He sucks most of Bowser's castle into a vortex. Bowser wakes up in a tuxedo close to Princess, in a bridal gown. And the wizard's plot is revealed: he is going to force Princess and Bowser to wed, thus screwing up the natural order of things and causing a paradox so great it releases an evil force (the Black Heart) that will swallow the entire universe into itself!
EVIL! AND HILARIOUS!

Now that my bloodlust has been quenched, this is a perfect game to move on to. That, or I need a game with lots of naked mens in it. But not Mario. He can keep his overalls right where they are.
