The Roulette Wheel

Ok. I've been waiting for this game to come out basically since the Wii was announced. It's a semi-co-op adventure game. And it's not a short one (30 hours)! It's getting truly rave reviews and here I am jumping on the bandwagon promoting this game before it too gets left by the wayside like all kinds of other experimental games. psychonauts, beyond good and evil, okami, and many others. Btw in case you we're thinking "man I loved one of those games! What's the issue?" well... None of those games sold over a million copies. And the studio that made Okami(a Fucking masterpiece btw!)? Shut down for good. Go figure.

Seriously...if you own a Wii you need to buy this game. If you own a Wii and you either have a significant other or a roommate in the house then you absolutely MUST buy this game.

"but Tommy I don't have enough monies to buy that AND Ace Combat 9 which will definately (this time for sure!) be the R0XX0rZ!". Yeah well suck it up...Capcom expected you would say that and made it a budget title at release. That's right $39. Bitch.

By now you might be wondering what kind of genre: "semi-co-op adventure game" is. Well... It's an adventure game mostly like you remember with brutal puzzles and off-the-wall humor like "day of the tenticle" from back in the day. The co-op is only semi because you can't exactly play with your buddies but your buddies can use extra Wiimotes to help points things out and draw one the screen as you play. Personally I think this is awesome. Your friends can help as you "drive" and then the next level will have you in the passenger seat and your friend driving. All the while you are drawing phallusus's on the screen to fuck with them...or help them....Whatever :).

Ok that's the end of my rant. You want quirky, well made, fun, new IP's...letting games like this slip by just discourages companies for trying so hard to give you what you want. Put your money where your mouth is. I'm out!!
