New Super Mario Bros. uses the side-scrolling technology which means that the characters generally move from the left side of the screen. It is a video game conceptualized and developed by Nintendo for Nintendo DS handheld console. Initially released in the United States on May 15, 2006, it was subsequently released in Japan, Australia, and Europe and in South Korea. After the release of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, it became the first authentic side-scrolling console game to star Mario since 1992.
With music given by Takashi Tezuka and directed by Nintendo's creative giant, Shigeru Miyamoto, it soon became one of Nintendo's greatest games as is proven by the fact that it went on to be the second best selling game for the company, coming second only to Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3 offers a more advanced gaming-experience in comparison with Super Mario Bros. series. This is seen in the introduction of a map screen, mini-games, more power-ups, enemies, and level types. Bowser made his red-haired debut with this game. Bowser's children, known as the Koopalings, also make their first ever appearance.
The main plot of SMB3 revolves around Mario and Luigi going on a mission to rescue the "seven kings of the seven worlds" that border the Mushroom Kingdom. The Koopa Kids have stolen the magical wands of every one of the kings, and turned him into animals. Now it's the job of Mario and Luigi to retrieve the wands from Bowser's kids.
Interestingly, Mario and Luigi find out only towards the end of world 7 that these attacks were only distractions created by Bowser to kidnap Princess Toadstool. Now the responsibility falls on Mario and Luigi once more to save the Princess.
SMB3 has eight different worlds each further divided into 8-10 stages not to forget the bonus stages. The levels are themed but not arranged in any strict order so the player has greater freedom to choose which order to play them in.
Fortresses and mini-fortresses are an added feature of SMB3. For every world there is one fortress. It's here that Mario initially meets the airship for that particular world. A mini-fortress is also featured for each of the worlds.
After a level is finished, a box carrying a power-up item appears which must be hit by Mario in order to finish a level. The item contained in the box must be collected by the player, so after collecting three, Mario gets an extra life. One of the most potent bonus items is the Tanooki suit. This turns Mario into a statue which protects him from receiving any harm from his enemies and also giving him the ability to kill them with special moves.
Mario plays a tune on the whistle which is similar to a melody in The Legend of Zelda. The similarity doesn't end here. In each game it calls up a storm that flounces up the hero and unloads him in a different place. The theme song "King of the Koopas" featured in the album "Super Mario Compact Disco".
Free Mario Games are available in a lot of platform such as the GameBoy Advance, Famicom Disk System, NES and many others. There are also flash game versions of Super Mario available for download. Checkout Luigi Mario for free online games to play.

A battlefield you can find anywhere, anytime / No place to hide - this is how Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (MGS4) is described. Hideo Kojima, Shujo Murata and Yoji Shinkawa are the producers, directors and writers of the game. If you have read mecha mangas or seen futuristic anime series such as: Ghost in the Shell, GANTZ, Saikano, Gundam Seed, Evangelion or Code Geass you will definitively be able to correlate those series to this game. MGS4 fuses several elements in this futuristic war game, artificial intelligence, self-aware combat units much like the Tachikomas of GITS and machines which combined look a lot like the final form of Chise in Saikano (The beauty and the beast unit)
Metal Gear Solid 4 is unlike any other war game you have played until now, it stands alone because the concept has only been seen in Japanese animations and not in video games. Half-Life 2 is the only game which has some similitudes to this game because it is also pretty futuristic, but in MGS4 the player must face several commandos with the aid of other AI combat units.
The main character of the game "Old Snake" a genetically engineered soldier is sent to the Middle East by Roy Campbell in order to terminate Liquid Ocelot, a man who operates Outer Heaven which at the same time controls the five largest private military companies (PCMs) that fight wars for business purposes. As you see the plot is quite complex as there are several proxies which control organizations and combat units, so it may be natural to feel a bit disoriented as far as knowing what's going on in the game. Some gamers argue that there might be some plot holes as far as knowing who has stronger dominant genes, Ocelot, Solidus or Snake.
The technology used by Old Snake has been improved from previous versions and incorporates elements seen in Ghost in the Shell such as optical camouflage called "octocamo" which allows the player to blend with any surface, a new "solid eye" replaces the binoculars which were used in previous versions and provide greater details of the terrain and enemy. High-tech devices and war is what this game is all about so you will see a lot of items which may look familiar if you are a manga/anime fan.
Those players who are new to this game will not be lost since MGS4 provides a recap of the events that happened in previous versions of the game which hold crucial information in order to understand what's going on, the recap includes scenes from Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3. MGS4 is a game which has carved a niche of its own when it comes to futuristic wars.

Ok, everybody says their Xbox 360 repair guide is the best. But before you plunk down $24.95 or whatever the "daily special" price is, how do you know its going to provide you all the information you need. Well, here is a guide to the guides comparing the features as listed in their advertisements.
Guide #1 - 3 Red Light Fix Repair Guide
Features
So out of the three which would I recommend....wow....that is hard. They all offer money back guarantees (these are real because they are all offered through Clickbank...so that's a plus for all three. And the refunds for each one seem to guarantee my satisfaction or money back, again a plus for all three. #2 guarantees I can fix it in 56 minutes or my money back, which seems like a silly guarantee since it probably depends upon how fast I am. #3 guarantees I can fix it in 2 hours, probably more my pace and realistic. All seem to indicate online and or customer support of some kind. I like access to a membership area, that way I can talk to other people who are going through what I am going through (kind of like an Xbox 360's anonymous). So if you put a gun to my head and made me chose....Here are my picks 1 through 3.
Guide #1 - First place - It has a little more of a professional feel, pdf guide with videos, online support...etc.
Guide #2 - Second place - I don't like the 56 minute guarantee, it doesn't open up the Xbox 360 and doesn't use the towel trick...what is it magic?
Guide #3 - Third place - a little too gimmicky, free upgrade to Platinum membership...please
So there you have an honest opinion of three Xbox 360 repair guides. You can feel safe to pick any because Clickbank will make sure you get a refund. So really your could pick any one until you find one that really works.
To see all three in one place follow this link http://www.squidoo.com/xbox360repairguidez and check them out for yourself. Good luck and good gaming.
