This is the month of digital distribution, it would appear. So far I'm leaning toward Echochrome, though I still need to play Lost Winds and Boom Blox. PAA, while a pretty impressive presentation, bored me. lol wii fit.

Wow.

This month sucks.

Unless Boom Blox or Echochrome are amazing or something.

Basically.

LostWinds is an excellent game that everyone with a Wii should get. The only issue with it is that the total play length is about 3 or 4 hours, depending on your intelligence and thoroughness.

I liked Echochrome at first but it devolves into randomly spinning to see which platforms the game thinks should line up. I find some of the rules to be inconsistently applied.

Slow month, but I really like the Penny Arcade game.

Lost Planet Colonies is pretty awesome.
