I doubt it. Who here played it anyway?

Well I just checked out WiiWare to see what the latest game was and it's: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 1 Homestar Ruiner...

It looks like those point and click type adventure games. Also, it was made by the same company that created the Sam & Max series. I'll pass for now.

However, there's some other WiiWare titles that I'm actually looking forward to: Swords & Soldiers, Tetris Party, Megaman 9, and Animales de la Muerte (it's similar to Smash TV).

Good updates there. I actually haven't checked the updates for about a month.

Helix was released on WiiWare a few days ago in the US, it's basically a rhythm game but unlike Guitar Hero and the sorts, you don't use button combos. Instead you make motions using the Wii Remote such as punching, circles, and so on.

The game comes with 26 songs and 3 difficulty levels. It seems to be only for one player though. As for the cost, 1000 points.

Here's the track list (taken from the official site):

* Arabian Sky - Synthetic Man
* Battle for Planet Earth - Tokyo Robot Gangsters
* Blow It Away - Resonance & Marshall Whyler
* Chain Reaction - Synthetic Man
* Degree of Love - ILONA EUROPA
* Destination Sunshine - Balearic Bill
* Dreamcatcher - Andy Duguid
* Dreamland - NeoClubber
* Enchant - Oneilio
* Energy Bomb - Alex Gold
* Evil Within - Oneilio
* Falling In Love - ILONA EUROPA
* Get Your Groove On - Spooky Rockstar
* LA Today - Alex Gold
* L'Esperanza - Airscape
* Lights Out - Oneilio
* Live Forever - ILONA EUROPA - NeoClubber Remix
* Love Radio - NeoClubber
* Love Sensation - NeoClubber
* Mindstate - Outsource
* No One's There - Ronnie Rokk
* Rainy Season - NeoClubber
* Source of Dreams - NeoClubber
* Sunshine - Dance Nation
* Turn on the Light - Solovox
* Xtreme - Martek Vongod

I think this one is pretty neat. I would recommend to them that if this one is successful and they make a sequel, put multiplayer in there.

I'm thinking about buying it, but at the moment money isn't really flourishing in my pocket. That zombie animal hunter for the Wii is supposed to come out soon so I really want to save up my points for that. And once I get that then I'll probably cough up some points to get this game as well as it seems worthwhile.

As for multiplayer, there is some co-op thing where one player controls an arm of the robot. Not sure how it works exactly, but I'll let you guys know when I play it.

Yet another music rhythm game has been released on WiiWare: Groovin' Blocks

It's similar to Lumines but with more rhythm...As for the music it contains a lot of electronica, so if you fancy that and are a fan of Lumines it might be worth a go. I'll pass for now but it might be something I'd consider getting once I buy some more points. So far Helix has made that list as well, although I can see myself playing this game more.

*EDIT* While updating the releases for Europe I noticed they already have the new Bomberman game! It has WFC, and actually looks good. I'll be adding that to my wish list as well as soon as it's released over here in the US.
