Necro-Nesia Comes Stateside As Escape From Bug Island

I PRAY THIS GAME GETS BETTERSpike's Wii "survival horror" game, the one in which your character is armed with little more than a flashlight and a stick, has been hilariously renamed for its journey across the Pacific. What was once known as Necro-Nesia will now be known to Wii owners as Escape From Bug Island. If you aren't yet familiar with Necro-Nesia, it involves an island, infested with giant bugs, from which you must escape.

I'm hoping that whomever publishes the English language version will seriously consider adding a few exclamation points to that somewhat dry moniker. It will make asking for a copy from the Best Buy blueshirt that much more dramatic if I'm required to request it in a booming voice.

Unfortunately, since I have heard nothing but the worst about Necro-Nesia, my conscience won't allow me to spend money on it. I'll just make sure to bring it up in public often to satisfy my urge to shout the name.
