  • Gamer Girlfriend: Gaming Overdose

    Columns Columns by Vangie Ridgaway on Comments2

    I proudly admit to being a casual gamer. I’ve never pretended to be otherwise. My standard M.O. is to play a little bit, and then go do something else. A large part of this preference is due to my general lack of interest in many of the games that are out there.

    Well, well, well. It's that time of the month again, eh? The deadline of GameCola's slavedriver creeps up on me once again. Make no mistake: All this amazingness is very well-thought-out and ALWAYS in at least 1,000 days early.

    It’s a little light on content, but overall a decent game. Thematically the whole game is cute and very enjoyable, but without a lot of depth, it’s hard to keep coming back to. The gun noises coming from the Wii-mote get obnoxious pretty fast, but if you like shooter games, you could do a lot worse for your points.

    This is an abysmal way to start off the month for WiiWare, with a good concept that fell to pieces in development.

With WiiWare and Virtual Console titles growing in number every week, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep everything you want on your Wii menu. Even though Wii hard drive space is only an issue for geeks and otaku, I figured it was time to do them a service and point out which titles should be ready to play without re-downloading them.
