Hey Mandy, nice to see this again.
What a surprise. Brawl as the number game this month so far. I wouldn’t be surprised that even after the numbers were updated it would still have outsold GTA4 and Kart.
Wii Fit and Pokemon Farm are on my list for possible buys this month. So is Chaos Wars.
Halo 3 Betrayal is freaking awesome. But then again, you can never go wrong with Zero Punctuation.
And speaking of Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, check this one out.
