By now we should all be familiar with the Super Smash Bros. formula: Mix basic platforming action with old-school, button-pressing, arcade-style combat while adding copious amounts of, oh, every Nintendogame ever made. With Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it’s a fan-service smorgasbord at its glorious best, folding in not only all of the goodies that made it into the series’ two previous iterations (Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee), but just about every bit of Nintendo lore that’s surfaced between Melee’s 2001 release and now. This includes appearances of hardcore, obscure stuff like Electroplankton and Sin and Punishment paraphernalia, Captain Olimar and his Pikmin, and just about any first-party Nintendo tidbit you can think of. For Nintendo fans, that’s great stuff. The more the merrier. But how does the game balance out between the die-hard fans and the less committed?

Another yuletide, another sequel for EA’s Need For Speed racing series vying for the Christmas Number One slot. Like clockwork these titles arrive on cue each year, treading the difficult line between mixing things up a bit in the way of new features while remaining true to tradition and pandering to fans’ expectations.
“The first part is: does it feel cool when I pick up the controller? Is it rewarding when I do a move? How quickly can I learn the game to be rewarded?”
