As arguably one of the best made games of all time, Super Mario Galaxy must have one of the best video game soundtracks I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear. This particular song is a remix of an old school Super Mario 64 track, Bowser Star Reactor just pumps you up for the battle ahead. Tune in, enjoy.

We’ve just gotten word on a game that looks like pure-100%-not-from-concentrate-over-the-top fun. This game is Last Flight, a WiiWare title being developed right now with Marcin Kawa at the helm. Last Flight is an action-adventure game with similarities to early slashers such as Golden Axe. But don’t write it off just yet, this isn’t just another brawler game, there’s a bloody, over-the-top, fun story to be had here.

You play as Larry Adelman, an overweight culinary critic who find himself in the middle of a vampire apocalypse, thanks to a dead body on the plane turning out to be… well.. not-so-dead. Other passengers on the plane only serve as a human buffet for this creature of the night, giving Larry a plethora of problems to deal with.

Each weapon in game is handled with separate swings from the Nunchuk and Wiimote, which you can then link together to create combos.  The simple, yet effective control scheme keeps things easy for inexperienced players, while maintaining the technicality to satisfy seasoned veterans.

Its been a very long while since anything on the Wii has piqued my interest, but Last Flight looks to be pure, unapologetic fun. The over-the-top comical style has me intrigued, as well as the fact that it is one of the only games being released for the Wii for an age group that doesn’t consist entirely of twelve-year-olds. Could this be another one of those games based on…. what was the word again? Oh! Fun! Remember that? Back when games were designed to just be fun? I do, and that’s why I’m looking forward to Last Flight.

Last Flight is being released for the Wii (WiiWare) in four downloadable, budget-priced episodes. Release date unconfirmed as of yet, but this is one to keep your eye on, especially if your Wii is anything like mine: Unused, sitting in a corner, without so much as a simple waggle now and then.

For updates, including when the game will come out and the set price, keep an eye on Kawa’s Twitter page.

A flurry of screenshots after the jump.

This week we take a break from classic gaming to discuss everything from Dead Space to Little Big Planet. Up on the list we’ve got Gears of War 2, Wii Music, Chrono Trigger, and many more. Check this one out!

Such a classic game. Everything about it, from the music, to the combat,
to the puzzles, to the nostalgic charm. Everything about The Legend of
Zelda: Link’s Awakening is perfectly classic in the best way. It plays
like a classic Zelda game through and through. In case you don’t know
how that feels, here is the gameplay in a paragraph:

You play as Link who has to save Zelda, but this game is different,
there is no Zelda, but you need to get off this island that you’ve crash
landed onto. You travel through towns, dungeons, keeps, caves, and
forests collecting weapons and items that will help you throughout the
course of your adventure.

The game has held up extremely well over time. Everything from the
graphics, to the sounds, to the controls, to the story has held up and
remained fun to play in this age of normal mapped, spectral-lit, dynamic
character models, its refreshing to see wonderful gameplay, and a main
character made out of less than 50 pixels. The music, by far, is the
still the most awesome part of the game. From the jumping and busy Tal
Tal Heights, to the full version of Ballad of the Wind Fish, the music
will draw you into the adventure like nothing else.

I highly suggest you check this out:

Here’s a bonus song for you (remixed from this game):
