What's on The Box? ()
HI, readers! I'm your fancy Co-director, Tucayo, here with another box fresh out the box in What's on The Box? Box. And this month, as part of all the Awards-themed sections we are having, I have decided to go with the game that has won A1. Favorite Soundtrack, Super Mario Galaxy! Yes, we all know the soundtrack is brilliant, with their orchestra and all that, but the art for this game is equally stunning. Right now we probably don't see its art as particularly impressive, but when this game was released in 2007, as just the third Mario 3D platformer, it represented a considerable advance from what we had seen with Super Mario Sunshine. Oh, and it was the first Mario game to be predominantly set in outer space, which is why game mechanics such as gravitational fields became so important. In the box we can see a bit of that; the different planets, all special in their own way - well, most of them, anyway. So why don't you give all your current-gen platformers a rest and go play some Galaxy? See you next month!
