I've read of the Smash Brothers lately, msa, but have no clue what it is. I've never been a gamer and not so sure if I am or will be.
So it's appreciated when you can explain some of this stuff to the total layperson.
The Metroid sounds interesting and do let us know what you think of the Brawl game if you try it. I have nothing against fighting (as a matter of fact, I do enjoy boxing with the sports package that was included with my Wii purchase) as long as it doesn't get gory. I am sorta squeamish.
