BIT.TRIP RUNNER 2
If you own a Wii, then this game is an absolute MUST. It’s stylistically amazing! It features gorgeous, chunky pixelated-but-3D graphics and music by the amazing Anamanaguchi (who are also laying down the beats for the Scott Pilgrim video game 8D)! It’s a sort of rhythm/platformer hybrid. You’ve got your little black pixel dude (Commander Video) who keeps on running. All you can do is jump at first, but as the levels progress, you get to slide, spring, kick and it gets super confusing! It’s basically all about doing the right move at the right time to ensure you don’t bump into something or fall off the edge. If you mess up, Commander Video zooms back to the beginning of the level, and you have to do it all. Over. Again. The only bad thing about this game is that it’s actually really hard. I haven’t even beaten the first world yet.
Forget Guitar Hero. All the songs suck and the characters are kinda creepy looking. This is the only rhythm game you’ll ever need.
ps. So sorry for the lack of updates! I sorta forgot my password.

Guitar Hero is too hard! And I love games like this … too bad I don’t have a Wii!
