LOST IN SHADOW
Hudson Soft
Wii
1/4
MSRP: $39.99

CLICK TO BUY FROM AMAZON!!

The only problem I foresee with Lost In Shadow is the fact that Hudson Soft hasn’t exactly been a brand of quality since their games involve fat dudes riding skateboards around islands while chucking boomerangs at dinosaurs, and if you know of what I refer, thank you for being ancient with me, you fuckers. Either way, the studio involved is the only questionable aspect in what looks like a genuinely innovative, creative title with a so-obvious-of-course-nobody’s-thought-of-it-till-now gimmick that pretty much has the week all to itself. Well, that, and the fact that it’s on the goddamned Wii.

OOOHHHH: ON THE DLC TIP

ilomilo
Southend Interactive
XBox Live
1/5
800 MS pts

ilomilo reminds me of this little budget title called Cookie and Cream that came out for PS2 and DS long ago. It’s not a bad comparison, since it’s got the same combo of charm, and extremely fun co-op. ilomilo just involves less pink. Feel better, macho men?

That Johnny Cash pack is required downloading. Not even negotiable. Yes, that means you’re screwed, bassists and drummers. DEAL WITH IT. It’s Johnny fucking Cash. Objections should be not be raised about getting to play Folsom Prison Blues in any format ever.

The Rock Band Free pack should look familiar. No idea why these weren’t exportable from the RB2 disc, but regardless, Harmonix still has us all covered. Having said that, there’s a few catchy bits in there, but Rob The Prez-O-Dent’s the MVP in that list. Such the awesome tune. Visions, on the other hand, is the kind of thing you hope somebody’s serving hard time for pressing onto a disc.
