I think this is a very creative game from THQ. Its a platformer, and the hook is that  the game has you sketch the weapons you will use, items in the game, not to mention your own charachter! Very funny! I will probably pick this up, I like to award origionality (if it is well done), and hopefully this game will do well.

Well done THQ, finally the DS seems to have caught on and developers are coming up with more than just obvious and generic ways to use the stylus. Hopefully in two years (or less, I wouldn't mind) the Wii will "catch up" to its potential. I haven't seen Shawn post in a long while, but I agree with him on one thing - the Wii has too many minigames! I don't mind short games, simple games etc, but when 40 minigames are packaged together and sell for $50, I think there is limited value. Granted, I am being very general, but that is just my take on some games I have owned, rented:

Rayman Rabbids,
Minigames in Monkey Ball (wanted to use the analog stick in the main game, lol)
Mario Party : minigames did not add too much to a game that I thought was quite boring.

Plus there a plenty that I have not played, but I can still smell 'em!
