I have to admit I don't understand quite all the fuss about the Smash Bros. line of games. Don't get me wrong, I have fun with them, but for many people it seems like the new Smash Bros game is on par with my fervor for GTA IV (which has two awesome radio track samplers now, BTW: IF99 and Vladivostok FM). Maybe it's a function of how I tend to play -- I can see how in a dorm-like setting the constant pick-up-and-play multiplayer chaos would be a lot more appealing.
However, I know that my older son, Xavier, will absolutely flip out over the game. He is excited about anything with Mario, Peach, Starfox, Link, Pokemon, and Samus, much less all of them. As it turns out, his birthday is this Tuesday, and we're having a swim party on Sunday -- just in time for me to pick up the new iteration of Smash Bros Sunday morning for him as a present. Who am I to turn down such an obvious sign?
