There's an awful lot of buzz over Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, buzz that I had previously ignored because I was busy fighting off tiny, terrifying face-orb monsters or something to bother noticing. Then IGN's Matt Casamassina recently kickstarted a campaign to motivate readers to.. y'know, buy it. Being that it wasn't your typical news post, I took notice and -- hey, look at that, it's pretty. And it's a Wii remote-based puzzle adventure game? Count me among the corrected, then; Zack and Wiki, despite its crummy name, looks to be one of the more interesting titles bound for your Wii this Fall.
Capcom's uploaded some new screenshots of the game, which I have in turn uploaded to Destructoid, which you may download to your face. Hit that gallery to check 'em out.

I have to give Matt credit though, the last time they had a "buy this game" campaign it was for Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, one of the best and most under-rated GC titles ever. I bought Eternal Darkness and was blown away (god that game rocked, going insane ruled), so I think I'll be picking this up. Not to mention, it's a point and click adventure on a console, woot!
P.S. The Toclafane are indeed terrifying.
P.P.S. Why do Doctor Who season finales always make me go sad panda? First Rose, and now the entirely of that last episode. Russell T. Davies likes upsetting me.
Also sad panda: no new Who 'til Christmas. Daaaviiiies!
But yeah, Martha's had a bitch of a time. If he'd met her before Rose, The Doctor would have been begging her to stay. He'd better give her a call when he's got his head sorted out.
Jesus, I feel like a teenage girl talking about Hollyoaks.
Why, I have no idea. I won't even spend $8 on a movie I don't know much about without checking Rotten Tomatoes; spending $50-$60 on a crapshoot seems so extravagant.
Actually, I'd prefer Zak Mckracken Wii, but that's asking too much.
PS Don't forget GrimE, I want Grim Fandango remade too if the others are!
PPS If anyone hasn't played the Sam and Max eps on gametap, go pay $9.99 and get access to them all 6 right now, they're really good and brought back alot of the original style and humor.
