You'll have to excuse me if this week's column is a bit short. Sega has just released "Super Monkey Ball 2" (SMB2) and I am having a hard time tearing myself away from the television.
That's right, Aiai, Meemee, Baby, and Gongon -- those four adorable -- sphere-enclosed monkeys, have returned.
For those of you who missed their first appearance, and judging by the sales data, a lot of people did, the original "Super Monkey Ball" was the standout best game when Nintendo released its GameCube game console last November.
