New Wii games!

Went to Toys r Us a couple weeks ago to pick up Brawl, and ended up getting Zack & Wiki for just $10 extra. Sweet deal, no? Brawl is fantastic, as I expected, although I have to say it doesn't have quite the "wow" factor that Melee had for me. Probably because Brawl essentially IS Melee, with ever so slightly updated graphics and gameplay tweaks, along with oodles of new unlockables. As for me, I thought Subspace Emissary was terrible. Literally awful. But that doesn't detract from the fact that the multiplayer is as outstanding as ever. And I must not hate it too much - I've got nearly 100 hours logged already, and I've only had for a few weeks. Zack & Wiki is a respectable puzzler, though it can be annoyingly Japanese at times. Anyone who isn't a huge fan of overtly Japanese stories and characters knows what I mean. But if you can get over that and the sometimes gimmicky motion controls, the game is solid, if a little trite. Certainly worth playing to the end. That's all for now. If I get myself motivated enough, I'll write a full review of Brawl, and perhaps of Zack & Wiki once I finish it. Until then, au revoir!
