Ok, I'm very interested now. I was already but a 10 from 1up? Suprising.

I just called up my closest GameStop, they are getting 2 copies.

 Good ol' Wii retail support.

There are two London Drugs stores which still don't carry Wii games or hardware in my town. They sell PS3s, X360s and their games, but they don't sell Wiis, even though the Wii now has the largest install base of the three in Canada. The inertia is pitiful.

That is very impressive indeed! How many reviews are in now?
A 10 from 1up is like making it with Carmen Electra as far as I know, perhaps even harder.

Wow... a 10 from 1UP.

Boom Blox = GTA4?

Or just another sign that the review system is horribly broken?

(Hint: It's the second.)



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

 Watch the little video interview on the 1up review, they address that.

Personally,  I thought this game was going to hover in the 80-85 range and I'm pretty glad it's doing well.  Who knows, I may sell a few games and pick it up after all.

Huh? Because 1UP thinks that while GTA and Boom Blox are not perfect, they are absolutely stunning games.

What's broken about that?

Blast Work (Nintendo Power): 8.5

Blast work would be the sleeper hit!
