On The Wii

As very properly advised by M, we went to this little shop at United Square to grab the proper zombie games for the Wii. You get to pick 3 games for S$165.

We don't have any interest in the stock games. We really really want to shoot zombies only. Retro basic games are good.

We bought a couple of shooting games. But the prize is The House of The Dead: Overkill.

I love shooting zombies with shotguns. Not random shots, mind you. Head shots to kill and earn cash to buy better weapons and unlock more song tracks!! Woots. I've found another way to work out the biceps now. HAHAHAH. But the language is horribly vulgar. They have this intense urge to use the F-word at every opportunity. Ugh. Not very clever the script is.

We switched the plasma screen to game mode and spent a good 4 hours burning up the screen. We ignore the xbox at home. We ignore the surround speakers till we want to watch music videos. We've also largely ignored the 60-inch plasma tv. Now, we truly appreciate it.

There is no way that the man will get Guitar Hero on the Wii or any how for that matter. It's like how I have no use for Wii Fit. We rather do the real thing so as not to disrupt my sense of balance and his already nimble fingers. I used to play virtual 8-ball and virtual golf. The virtual games shifted my sense of alignment and threw the acute sharpness I have. For a good week after, I had horrible games on the table and the course. It took me another week to get it all back. I swore never to play these stuff on the virtual front anymore.

So yes, I'll stick to killing zombies. The chance of having to actually shoot a zombie in real life is very very very very very remote.

According to Simian, quite a number of bands have Guitar Hero in their tour vans :)

Think it's so different, you don't have to worry :)

dawn, it's no substitute from rocking out on a big stage. my theory is- guitar hero is kept in there to entertain the groupies.
