Note: This review is written by a GamingEverything writer, Jack. I’m posting it here because I thought you’d find it entertaining, and iMovie disappeared so I can’t do “That One Show” tonight.

Platform: Nintendo Wii (via Wiiware)
Developer: Gaijin Games
Publisher: Aksys Games
Release Date: 17 May 2010

I’ve always been a fan of Gaijin Games’ Bit.Trip series, so when I heard last year that a fourth one was coming out that would combine the series’ retro feel with my favorite genre in gaming (platforming) as an homage to Pitfall, I was ecstatic. Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to buying it until just this past week, but it was definitely worth the wait. Bit.Trip Runner takes great accessibility, beautiful new graphics, old school difficulty, and the same dynamic rhythmic gameplay the Bit.Trip series is known for and combines it into one of the best WiiWare releases to date.

I’m hijacking the site for 2 seconds here because I just noticed something really quite silly. And because I know I can do it without getting in trouble. But mostly the first reason.

As I was updating our sister site, GamingEverything, I noticed yet another post about gamers complaining that their Call of Duty: Black Ops copies aren’t working online, despite numerous patches by Treyarch attempting to fix the issues. Every time I’ve posted these types of posts, I never really paid much mind because I personally have had no issues with the online in the game, but then I also realized: No one is really complaining about the Wii version. All the bugs are in the PS360 version of the game!

Sort of ironic considering how the Wii is generally considered an inherently worse piece of online tech… Anyone here experiencing major Wii Black Ops problems? Do you also find it sort of funny that the Wii version works fine? Discuss with me, my lovely readers.

The previously Wii-exclusive downloadable game Retro City Rampage has been delayed until next year, according to the game’s creator, but an additional XBLA version of the game will be coming out alongside it as well.

For those that aren’t familiar yet, Retro City Rampage is a game made by Brian Provinciano, an indie game dev, that spoofs everything there is to spoof about the gaming industry nowadays. It’s a retro-inspired GTA-like game played in 8-bit style that was original supposed to come out this month. Now, the release date stands at “Fall 2011” with the 360 version coming next summer.

Talk about a kick to the groin for Wii owners!

“Yeah, we probably can’t talk a heck of a lot about that right now. I wouldn’t feel comfortable.” – High Voltage’s Kevin Sheller

It’s real unfortunate that The Grinder seems to have disappeared off the map! First it was pretty hyped, then it was a PS360 as well (albeit a top down shooter), and we haven’t really heard much about the Wii version since E3 2009 when it was first announced other than that we’re looking at a Halloween 2012 release date. Eugh… That’s far away.

While it was originally supposed to come out late this year (right around this time!), developer High Voltage Software moved its next big title to early 2011 with no explicit release date. Now, however, we’ve got word as to what that date is.

IGN has confirmed via speaking with HVS that the game is going to come out on February 15th, 2011 in North America. Mark your calender, Wii shooter fans!

Update: Game Night is now over!

Goodness gracious, I have had a busy day! From getting stranded outside in the cold to missing 4 buses in a row to get home and breaking all the zippers on my laptop bag! I think the one thing I need right now is to sit down on a comfy couch and play some video games with you cool cats. That’s why we have game night, right?

Game(s): Call of Duty: Black Ops (Wii), possibly some Mario Kart or another game if you don’t have Black Ops.
Time: 7PM EST, 4PM PST (about 1 hour from when this is posted)

If you’re going to play, it’d be super helpful if you could post your codes here instead of in the IRC, but don’t sweat it if you can’t do it until later. Thanks a bunch, guys!

Dear whomever reads this,

You are hereby chosen. Chosen for what, you ask? Chosen to be the guinea pig for my new video style episodic thing nonsense. This means you must watch, and you must analyze the video above, and then comment down below regarding what you thought of it. Consider it a weekly video podcast of sorts, and pay no mind to the shoddy quality of jokes and dialogue; the style is what I’m curious about! I appreciate the feedback, guys!
