European WiiWare Update - Playing SC4 Edition

The Apprentice is cheap as fuck. If you're using him on a regular basis then know that I hate you and everyone related to you and that given the chance I'll hunt you down with the nearest sharp object.

So, Soul Calibur 4 critique over (expect much more of that in the coming blogs) lets see what was vomited up onto WiiWare this week.

Game 1 - Defend Your Castle
XGen - 500 Points

Its another defence game, haven't these people learnt that attack is the best form of defence? I'm going to sit on defence (see what I did there) and say that if you enjoy this sort of thing....you should probably buy Pixeljunk Monsters, but failing that there are much worse ways to spend 500 points. Recommended if you have the loose change.

Game 2 - Wild West Guns
Gameloft - 1000 Points

The title gives promise, but then you see the developer. More mobile phone game adaptations from Gameloft with the usual massively inflated price. However since its a light gun game I would suggest at least having a look if you have the Wii Zapper around.

Thoroughly meh, very much an 'if you like that sort of thing' week. Or you could say that everyone's playing Soul Calibur 4 (or at least the character creator if the c-blogs are anything to go by) and they just aren't trying. Oh well, Virtual Console next week.
