First review of New Super Mario Bros. Wii gives the game a 9.2 (and guess from who that number’s from!)

Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn’t come out here in North America for another five days, but, for whatever reason, it comes out in Australia in two days!

Verizon is stepping into that breech by releasing these clever commercials touting its network over AT&Ts. But, as Mr. Fireball More >
