Dusting off the Wii (1x3)

Data di messa in onda: Mar 23, 2009

This week, it's all Wii. Yeah, surprised us, too. It started with the emergence of Mad World, a thoroughly adult title on a console most of the hard core have dismissed as a toy for the elderly and exclusively for the "family friendly." David Ellis and Kat Bailey share with Ryan their concern over the corruption of today's youth through violence in the media (not really). It's not usually our "thing" to cover games that were released several months ago, but World of Goo is worth making an exception for. While we know we're a bit late to the party on this one, we felt we had to bring it up just in case you might have missed it. It's just that good. Tiff Chow agrees. She, Ryan, and Matt settle over some delicious, gooey ice cream to celebrate the game's finer points. And, also in the might-have-overlooked category is the just released Bit.Trip Beat. No, that's not a typo--the extra period belongs there. It must be seen to be believed as any description is inadequate to the experience. It's pong, but for this generation with elements of rhythm gaming grafted on that pulls together the modern and the retro in an even keel of gaming awesome. We knew we had to at least give it a quick first look in this week's show. Of course it took some effort to find our Wii's and dust them off for this episode. Adventures documented within!
