Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure



A quirky, colorful, 'point-and-click' adventure game that lives up to the hype, and fully proves what makes the Wii such a unique, underrated console through its highly innovative controls. Capcom struck gold with this one - pun intended.

I know I'm stretching this as this is a Japan only release, but there is a complete fan translation that kicks ass. Fatal Frame 4 brings all the chills of the PS2/Xbox predecessors while adding motion controls for first person camera manipulation. It's too bad its not a Wii motion plus title as this can seriously be one of the scariest games of all time seeing as how you have to hold the camera steady as your only means of defeating ghosts.

The House of the Dead: Overkill
Love the dialog, and 70's B-Movie horror feel.

Bit.Trip Complete - A retail compilation of the fantastically retro Bit.Trip series. The games in here are addictive and fun though Runner is my current favorite. You can get a free demo of all of them from the WiiWare store.

Punchout - i love the personality of all the fighters, very unique and steretypical. Not to mention the amazing gameplay.
