This is what I've been playing

New Super Mario Bros. has been a very fun little game. It basically combines elements of the first NES Mario, and later platformers like 3 and World, with well-animated 3D graphics and plenty of alternate routes to keep you entertained. I'm not finished it yet (not that I'd want to, I just got it on Tuesday), but I'm in the last stretch of a normal run-through. Afterwards, I will attempt to find the hidden paths and get all the special coins.

This game also features a terrifying death sequence, and later a bit of necromancy. Believe it!
