Super Mario Galaxy 2

The game where Mario is the kind of person who has a vanity license plate with his own name and face on it, Super Mario Galaxy 2 takes the gravity defying mechanics and tight controls of the original title and allows the ideas to get wonderfully weird with the assumption that players tried the first Galaxy. Players dedicated enough grab all 120 stars in the game were greeted not with a final message, but the delivery of 120 Green Stars scattered across the game. Though the spirit of not just making us play though the game again as Luigi was something, the strange hidden object game they played with us by not giving hints for each star and asking you to individually locate and figure out how to collect them in the old missions got tiring very fast.

The final chapter in the Starcraft 2 saga is Legacy of the Void, and Blizzard just provided us with a hefty update on how that game’s development is coming. Specifically, they talked about the game’s multiplayer mode, speaking about the changes and development choices that they have made.

The most important of these is the addition of a brand new Protoss unit to the game, currently being debated to be a harassment unit that would be of incredible use in the early game; other notable things include a hard resource cap at about 70% of the amount in Heart of the Swarm, and a change in the worker count.

A lot of these changes, cumulatively, could have a great impact on how Starcraft II is played, and on player strategies, so personally, I am very excited to see what Blizzard brings to the table with Legacy of the Void.

Stay tuned, because we’ll keep you posted.
