This Week at the Wii Shop: martial arts, pit stops, and ONSLAUGHT - Page 2

I'll be out of town for the weekend, so don't lose hope if you don't see me.

If you catch me on Steam (DaXIthR), send me a message and I'll hop on.

Alrighty, I've got you both registered in the game now. I'll try to be on tonight for a little bit if I can - my Steam handle is Ravenlock, feel free to friend me there and use it for easier coordination, since the Wii is stupid about that sort of thing and I'm not likely to be actively in Onslaught looking for a game when you're on.

Well, Dr. Setebos and I had a good online match that lasted a few rounds across different boards, winning one of the boards we played and failing the other two (one of them twice), but in fairness, I wasn't very familiar with the objectives for at least 2 of those failures.

And the "protect the supplies" map is brutally hard, at least with only 2 players.

That said, it was completely awesome fun and I definitely want to do it again, hopefully with voice chat over Skype next time. For $10 this game has jumped to "must buy" if you like FPS games and don't mind the slightly outdated graphics. The controls are tight, the atmosphere of the game is a lot of fun, the HUGE boss characters are well designed, and there's a ton of content in there for your money.

So yeah, get this game. It deserves full friend code lists.

We also discovered that I apparently suck at FPS games, as Raven out-scored me by 2 to 3 thousand points in each match.

But even with my meager skills and our utter inability to save the dropship cargo (twice!), it was a lot of fun.

This bears repeating: FPS controls: mouse/keyboard > Wii remote > dual analog
