It's been said that the late Christopher Lee would read The Lord of the Rings trilogy once a year. I have a similar tradition, if not quite as herculean as his was. I like to beat Star Fox 64 at least once a year.

I have no special date for this tradition, I just play it when I'm in the mood, which is frequently. See, Star Fox 64 is one of my favorite games ever. It's a beautifully designed shooter, one of the very few N64 games that still holds up today, and the series has never managed to top it.

You may have heard that a new Star Fox is on the way, and that I wasn't too impressed with what I saw of it at E3. I'm willing to reserve judgment, though, if only because my soul cries out for a new Star Fox that rises to the level of the first two games. In the meantime, I have Star Fox 64. Oh, and this.
