I find the quality level of the Mario series incredible.  I don't see how they can never miss like that, even the gameboy versions and things are always great.

Yeah, absolutely true. Itīs one of their, and probably THE, flagship series so they make sure that they donīt fuck up. Theyīre doing an incredible job. Last Mario game I played (although only here and there) was that new Mario Brothers for the DS and it is great.

I think Nintendo does a fairly good job at it, but there's no magic there.  It's really even kind of a silly concept.  I don't see why people can't devote the same amount of attention to the 'fun factor' of ANY release.  Nintendo doesn't even have the same people work on all of the Mario games, and I think some have even been done by other companies and they were fun.  Even SMB2 was fun, and it was a different game originally and they basically hacked mario into it.  If companies would show that kind of devotion to every game they designed, there'd be a hell of a lot better games out.

Bioshock was awesome.  I usually don't give 2 shits about a storyline, but this one was very dope.  But there's lots more to the game than just that.

Great game.
