Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People Out Now!

GeekSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:00:06 -0700

You gotta know Homestar Runner, right? Well the Internet sensation and his pal Strong Bad have put out their very own PC and downloadable WiiWare game called Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People! Being released in a series of episodes, the first called "Homestar Ruiner" was released Monday and will cost you 1,000 Wii Points or $9 to download on your PC. You may wonder how HSR can possibly make a video game out of their letter answering, cartoon making, and milk snorting, but since I love Homestar Runner so, so much, I'm totally getting this, no questions asked.

The first episode starts with Strong Bad's plans to beat up Homestar Runner going awry, and somehow ends with an unwanted houseguest ruining his flow. Click through story points and mini-games to progress the episode, and be granted bonus features if you score high enough after the level is through. Did you download it yet? What do you think?

Lost Winds Coming to WiiWare

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 03:00:06 -0700

First previewed at this year's Game Developers Conference, Lost Winds will be a title to watch out for on the Wii in the upcoming months. Although I'm totally looking forward to the much hyped Grand Theft Auto IV, I do like a nice, friendly Nintendo game to have some fun with. Lost Winds has you playing as Taku as you navigate your way through the world of Mistralis. In this world, you are trying to find and piece together shards of a spirit stone with the help of the wind called Enril, which you also have control over. Using the nunchuck to direct Taku, and the Wiimote to aim Enril's breezes, you not only help Taku jump, but can push over rocky obstacles, light torches and spray water.

OK, so it seems to be a fun and interesting puzzle game, but it's totally pretty, right?! I love little Taku and his cape, plus it kind of reminds me of Zelda. Lost Winds doesn't yet have a release date, but word has it that it will be out on WiiWare very soon. Check out more screens when you read more

Wallace and Gromit Coming to a Console Near You

GeekSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:00:46 -0700

Buzz and I both love Wallace and Gromit! And what a better way for us to continue the love-fest than to play along with their crazy adventures, game style. A series of Wallace and Gromit episodic games is headed our way soon, but on which console?

Developer Telltale Games is keeping mum on that bit of info for now, but I have a feeling that this will be a WiiWare download-able title. Just a guess. Check out the super cute Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures teaser trailer, and then tell me: Are you as excited to play this game as I am? And if the answer is no, then I must know how you can possibly resist the cuteness?
