Guitar Hero 80's is a sure fire sale for me, but unfortunately my game budget is rather small so that's all I'll be able to afford. there's actually several other games I'd like to pick up like Persona 3 and Alien Syndrome. I'm even slightly intrigued by Escape From Bug Island despite my earlier suspicions that it will suck. Anything on here look like it will end up in your console for days on end?

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. Michael McWhertor
