Games I've recently been playing

Super Paper Mario (Wii)

Fun platformer/RPG hybrid with a good 20-odd hours of gameplay. The game is a little talky (there is a heap of text to read but even that is mostly funny), but that doesn't detract from the gameplay very much. The game starts easy enough, and I found the last chapter to be reasonably tough even with a fairly high levelled team. 4/5


The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)

Direct sequel to the 2003 GameCube's The Wind Waker, this game is controlled entirely using the touch screen. The top screen serves primarily as your map, and occasionally is used as a second screen for boss battles. The game isn't overly long or challenging, but is great fun and has some genuinely funny moments. Well worth the purchase. 4.5/5
