I'm looking forward to playing Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. It's coming out next Tuesday but I'm going to have to wait to play it since I'll be in Peru next week for my cousin's wedding.The Tokyo EAD team that did Gamecube's Donkey Kong Jungle Beat game developed the Galaxy under the guidance of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. What I've seen thus far looks amazing.HERE'S a wonderful interview between Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, and Mr. Miyamoto. In it, Miyamoto distills the key elements of a Mario game and shares the major concepts behind Super Mario Galaxy.Here's some amazing gameplay footage from a Bowser level:

LUCHA LIBRE #2, published by Image Comics, is now available in finer comic shops.Plenty of good stuff in this issue. Tequila's comic debut, the conclusion of Red Demon and the Luchadores 5's first adventure, and plenty of chuckles to spare. Feel like a dark chuckle? Then read Profesor Furia. Want something a little more innocent? Luchadoritos is the one for you.All stories by Muttpop's Conspirator: Jerry Frissen with the help and artwork of Bill, Gobi, Witko, and Tanquerelle.

Saul Williams "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" Album not only has a kick ass name, it's a kick ass album. The pairing of Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) as Producer and Saul Williams seems strange but works wonders.Much like Radiohead's newest album, "Niggy Tardust" is an online only album. For $5 you can download a high quality version (CD sound quality). If you're tight on the funds or aren't sure this album's for you, you can also download a lower quality version for free (Ipod sound quality).Saul changes form from poet to emcee to singer freely. I prefer the rawness of the spoken word and emcee bits...but it all holds together nicely as Saul's voice and the beat take turns at the driver's seat of the musical composition.All in all a great album that more than deserves your $5.Niggy Tardust:: Tr(n)iggerNiggy Tardust:: Raw
