Mario Galaxy 2, ModNation Racers, UFC--Weekly Roundup 5/24

Got a little extra money? Great! This week is more than happy to relieve you of that cash. If you didn't pick up Super Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday, you should probably get on that first. After that, combat-racing fans can check out Blur and/or ModNation Racers, depending on how cute you like to get. And then there's UFC 2010 Undisputed. Ground and pound. There are some movies coming out, but I really don't care about that right now. I'm going to level with you for a second here: I'm super sad that Lost is over. Oh well. If I were a child I would probably buy some comic books to ease the pain. Being an adult is difficult sometimes.

  • Poor Jeff, you can buy comic books as an adult. You just need to wear dark sunglasses, a hoodie and carry the comics in a well concealed bag so that no one sees you with them. Then you can hide them under your mattress with your latest additions of "adult" magazines. Yeah, because no one looks under the mattress for things.

    As for me, I'm picking up Galaxy 2. And taking the kids to see Prince of Persia.
  • Doh! Blur and Modnation... I won't be getting either immediately, but that sucks for the success of either game right now.

  • nifty nifty. i don't much care for the releases this week, as i'm still plugging away at older games. the PoP movie interests me though.

  • I just scrolled all the way down to bottom without reading anything because I know Frank Sinatra: Cybernetic Chainsaw Samurai Bio-Monster isn't coming out this week. Or probably ever. Which, simply put, is a God *** crime.

  • like terminator?  the new issue terminator 2029 #3 is going to blow your mind!

  • Comics are out but Super Mario Galaxy 2 is OK for adults to play? Just seems like a double standard to me. I see them both as healthy activities for any adult to engage in. Like washing a car, or going to a baseball game. Amongst other activities.

  • Man this is a big week in entertainment.

  • If only I had a Wii to get Galaxy on...

  • I already have SMG2. I'll be picking up ModNation Racers tomorrow. :)

  • Mod

    Mario Galaxy is sitting on my coffee table suffocating in shrink wrap.  Tonight I shall set it free.

    "George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead"

    I had no idea there was another 'of the Dead' coming out.  Then again I ignored Land of Dead completely after I found out the dead had feelings and cognitive abilities.

  • Looks like it's going to be a good week, too bad I'm still broke from last week.  Sorry Mario and ModNation you two will have to wait till the bargain bin comes around.

  • mario galaxy 2 and modnation racers will be mine

    and I will be seeing sex and the city 2

  • Lost was cool the first 3 episodes, then the writers went insane much like Heroes

  • I started Galaxy 2 yesterday and it's f-ing amazing.

  • ModNation Racers :)

  • UFC Undisputed looks pretty cool. Might have to rent it to see for myself.

  • Super Mario Galaxy 2, you shall be mine... after I get more cash.

  • I bought Galaxy 2 with a gift card earned from taking surveys online. Worked out great.

    Also, that level pictured took me way too many tries to beat.
