Spider-man 3 for Xbox-360
5 out of 10
It seems as if any Spiderman video games will be awesome, particularly when they have been in development for years and showcase the raw power of the next generation video game systems.
Unfortunately, Spider-man 3 falls short-- way short.
Don't get me wrong, there is a lot about this game that is awesome. The graphics are fantastic, the controls and moves are awesome. Even the music and voice clips are good.
What makes this game fall short is the story. From the beginning you want to play the movie story, and it seems as if developers are trying to keep you from playing it. There are tons of villains and subplots that you have to play through, and they are ridiculously hard. Spiderman takes damage rather easily, but the villains barely seem to budge. Why is this so hard to play?
It is anyones guess. I played this game almost non-stop when I rented it and never saw one movie villain or story arc. That right there speaks tons.
Super Paper Mario for Wii
9.5 out of 10
What is it about Nintendo? They somehow keep churning out amazing and innovative titles. Super Paper Mario is no exception. This title has the gamer holding the Wii remote sideways and using it like a classic NES controller. The game then goes even further back old school with the classic side scroller Mario adventures that we all love.

Where this RPG Mario game gets interesting is in the new 'flipping" mode, where mario transports into a 3D version of the place he is currently at, this allows the gamer to find secrets, special items and hidden doorways.
Also thrown into the mix is a barrage of classic nintendo imagery, Peach, Bowswer and Luigi are back, as is the classic soundtrack. You can power up to a Super Sized NES Mario, and then run through the level, crashing everything you hit. You can also get a power up where a dozen tiny NES Marios go running along with you, complete with the cute boing sound from their NES days.
Overall, this game delivers, even though challenging at times. Zelda may have finally met its match on the Wii.

They never seem to get those spider man games right.
