7. Creator of Pac-Man - Toru Iwatani interview excerpt: “Entertainment requires change and fresh, new ideas. Without them, people will certainly get bored. I’m sure that Namco Museum Remix will deliver fresh, exciting gameplay that will only be experienced on the

CosGrove's Thought: Wow this months issue is gonna be awesome. Look at the perfect score Metroid Prime 3 got. It's like WOW. Could it be better then Twilight Princess?
Man, I love Trauma Centre and now I cant wait for the new one. CO-OP MODE! Thats awesome! I always wanted a co-op mode with my Trauma Centre Second Opinion game.
Check out the Super Mario Galaxy story. It sounds the same as any other Mario game. Mario is having some party and Bowser comes and captures Peach. But this story sounds much more interrasting once its on the screen in your homes.
