VC Friday: Time to Get Equipped

by Chris Greenhough { Sep 26th 2008 at 9:50AM }

We barely need to write anything here this week, do we?

Mega Man 9 -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points
Helix -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points
Strong Bad Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points

Helix is a dance-cum-exercise game from Ghostfire which was deemed above-average by critics, if not exactly essential. Strong Bad Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free falls into the same trap as Super Dodge Ball did in North America, in that it's a great, worthwhile title that was regrettably released the same week as Mega Man 9. And Mega Man 9, well, you know all about that. It's totally awesome and rad. Buy it.

My girlfriend and I both love Helix. If you're looking for a kick ass upper body workout, this is definitely the game for you. Basic, but there are 26 songs, and it most definitely qualifies as a serious workout on the harder difficulties. Keep in mind that it's 300+ blocks, though, so it will take a big bite out of what little free space you may have on your Wii.
