So I picked up Super Mario Galaxy yesterday and so far I’m loving it. I’m currently sitting at about 32 stars and I haven’t even gotten sick or bored of it yet. Mario Galaxy definitely shows what the Wii can do in not only game play but graphics. The special effects when planets are created, stars are picked up and enemies are killed just shines on the Wii.

Like all Mario game the plot is simple, the Princess gets kidnapped and it’s up to you to get her back. Mario Galaxy takes place mostly in space where you have to collect stars to get a space station operational so that it can take you to the center of the universe. This is where you’ll have to save the Princess.

Now I am nowhere near on finishing the game because it requires you to visit multiple galaxies multiple times to collect all stars, the more stars the further you progress within the game. As stated above, my star count is currently at 32 and rising! each universe contains roughly 4 galaxies including the ‘main boss’ galaxy which contains the grand stars. So it takes a few hours to get to where I am, but you’ll love it!

I recommend that anyone that’s fortunate to have a Wii, or were lucky enough to find one this Christmas, to pick up Mario Galaxy.

I’ve had some luck with gaming in the past two years, many of my friends are on their 4th or even 5th Xbox 360. The main cause being the 3 Red Lights. My launch console broke down earlier this year so I got a good year and a bit of gaming on that thing. Luckily still having warranty Microsoft replaced the console with a new one. Now, after many months, the same thing happened to this one. I hope I get it back soon since I was planning on getting Guitar Hero III this weekend.

In other news, since my 360 is not working I will be purchasing Mario Galaxy tomorrow with a Best Buy gift card I got. I will definitely post my thoughts when I get a little while into the game, I am a little excited!

2007 has definitely been a strange year, not just in my personal life but for my website 07Designs.com. It’s gone through a few redesigns with the bigger one being the latest, but yet I’m still not happy with it (am I ever going to be?). I’ve also started a few projects that most of you might not even know about, here’s a list of the top projects:

• myCreatures
• feedProcess
• Lime.app for iPhone (not finished)
• Mash360 [school project]
• mySmallApps
• Xbox 360: theFeed

Though not all the above mentioned projects are some that I am somewhat proud of, the biggest being feedProcess. I can assure you that 2008 will bring many more projects, some integrate with each other and some might get away from the web browser and onto the desktop (think applications with Adobe AIR).

Come January, 07Designs will change in a way that will make all these projects known and available to everyone. One of the biggest changes will be a complete redesign that will hopefully reflect the way I want to run the site as a whole. I will probably give more details closer to time and give you a release date of “January 2008″ for now.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.
