Yay! WiiWare is here! FF:CC - My Life as a King can finally be played for a lot of Wii Points!

But just under that game in the list is a potential sleeper hit in the 500 Wii point "Defend Your Castle." If you haven't heard of it before, it's a simple game with a similar theme as games such as Missile Command - protect home at all costs!

I had the pleasure of playing about 9 rounds of this in solo play before I had to check out other things. The visual design of this game is so funny, with several household and office items being used as weapons or scenery. The clouds that fly by are attached by strings, almost as if you're inside a diorama. Very cute stuff.

You start out pretty slowly, tackling one or two incoming stick-figure enemies with your U-shaped bread-wrapper clip (you know, those things that keep the bag holding your bread closed!). After a few levels, the invaders get a bit smarter and either run faster or carry battering rams made of popsicle sticks. They can also carry bombs that look like gears. Your first method of defense is simply grabbing the poor guys and tossing them high enough into the air so they splat upon impact. After a few rounds you can purchase upgrades with the points you make to convert soldiers to your cause and make use of the towers in your castle to house archers, mages, demomen and smiths for repair.

I can't wait to get further along to see the insanity found in the trailer!
