Matty's Big Day Out

Last week I was invited into the production offices of the Aussie TV show Good Game. In the name of this forum I donated a spare 3do and jaguar for the cause , which were both warmly received. I spent a bit of time with the producer and was fortunate enough to be there on review day which meant I got to play some yet to be released fare.
NFS: the run is simply aces. It's Underground, Hot Pursuit and original all rolled into one.
......but Skyward Sword.....I am no Ninty fanboy and have long hated Link & Zelda.....this is just genius.....not the graphics...but the gameplay, I was pleasantly shocked, the Wii has one hell of a swansong

Unlike Underground the Run has country and snow sections but retains a cheesy storyline. It has the police (with better AI) and really feels more like the original "all grown up".
....and Zelda - the puzzles and game mechanics have been overhauled without losing its heritage and appears to be just as enticing for first timers or those progressing from Spirit Tracks as it is for the hardcore. It is by no means short or easy but it is intuitive and the wii mote nunchuck controls feel right.

heh i saw jimmy fallon playing the new Wii zelda game on his show, and if thats how you have to control your guy NO THANKS
can you play the game without jumping all around and just sit on your ass playing it without swinging your arms around?

I haven't finished a Zelda since Link to the Past, yet I'm stangely looking forward to this.

gameinformer magazine gave it a 10! They don't rate games that high very often.
