FFCC: My Life as a Darklord is vastly better, and it only costs 1000 points. There's also plenty of useful DLC for Darklord. My Life as a King is good too, but not as good as Darklord.

Hope there's a review for Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder soon.

I have to disagree with Mahe — I have My Life as a Darklord, dropped another $20-some on DLC for it just to get through the game, and hated most of it. It gets horribly tedious and you honestly cannot get through to the end without purchasing DLC, which should've been a warning sign to me in the first place IMO. only go for Darklord if you are a die-hard fan of tower-defense games... if you're just looking around for something fun and could go either way on a TD game, avoid Darklord and go for My Life as a King instead.

I already had FFCC My life as a Darklord beat it but I never thought the dlc was worth it so that why I was wondering about FFCC My life as a king and FF 4 the after years

I am still trying to decided right now but out of what I heard FFCC my life as a king seems better then the after years so I might get that

I liked FFCC My Life as the King the best of them five Final Fantasy games on WW.

These are my ratings:

10/10 FFCC My Life as a King (with all DLC)
09/10 FFCC My Life as a King (without DLC)

8/10 Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (with all DLC)
7/10 Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (without DLC)

4/10 FFCC My Life as a Darklord (with all DLC)
7/10 FFCC My Life as a Darklord (without DLC)

7/10 Crystal Defenders R1
7.1/10 Crystal Defenders R2

Well, Fluidity is available on Club Nintendo now. It looks fun enough, but with the roster of games changing every month, I'm afraid something much better will be available next month. Is it any good?

Yes, and 150 coins is a steal for it. If I hadn't already bought this, I definitely wouldn't pass it up, but I also have quite a few CN coins, so I'm not worried about having coins for next month. If I only had enough coins for one game, I'd probably hold off just in case something more amazing comes along next month, unless you know that you've already downloaded every Nintendo game you could possibly prefer to this one.

I have hardly any VC/WiiWare games, and I only have 200 coins right now. I do, however, plan on getting a 3DS and at least four games (plus some eShop games) that will be able to be registered. Thing is, I was previously saving for Hanafuda cards, and now I want the Zelda 25th Anniversary posters. So it'll still be about 200 if I go for the posters. :/

How much is 150 coins? It seems to me that you get away much better with it than spending 1200 Wii Points on it. Maybe a good chance for everyone who was on the fence before.

Personally, these were the best 1200 pts I spent on the Wii Shop. In fact Hydroventure/Fluidity is the cheapest 10/10 game on WiiWare. My other three 10/10 games (World of Goo, Life as a King and MotoHeroz) were all 1500pts.

I'd try this addictive physics-based 30-hour game if you're into adventure-puzzle-platformers and if 150 coins is a good deal.

150 is a steal man, you don't even know how bad of a steal it is. I mean it's 3 Wii games to register but compared to everything else price wise.

30 hours? Are you sure? I've heard there were only like 4 levels or something.

30 hours seems a bit exaggerated, but if you get obsessive with mini-games and want to complete everything while taking your time, it's probably possible. It's a very beefy game for WiiWare.

It doesn't have 4 "levels", it's more like four areas. Think about the main areas in Metroid games. They consist of multiple rooms each, all will gradually become accessible when you gather new abilities. There is also a large amount of things to collect, often trickily hidden. The best comparison would be Metroid with a splash of water as main character. It's absolutely worth it!

Wow, long, physics-based, and similar to Metroid. I swear, if they release something better next month, I will implode. But for now, this sounds like a great game.

I've completed this in 29 hours and 5 minutes (minigames not included) so yeah for me it's a 30h game. If you just want to beat it you can do it faster.

And yes, it's 4 pretty big areas, with lots of stuff to find, hidden areas and item collection Metroid-style, full of ingenious puzzles and gameplay elements, and 89 missions (similar to the 120 stars in Super Mario 64).
It combines a high level of innovation, polish, content and fun at only 12 bucks, and as such is a perfect 10 in my book.

I like Fluidity too and I love that Club Nintendo is finally giving us real incentives to register our games, but it is in no way a steal. 150 coins is approximately $150 worth of registered merchandise. So if you give Nintendo $150, they'll give you $12 back. That's not a steal, but it is better than a tote bag.

Compared to paying 400 dollars to posters that would probably be 5 bucks a piece at Wal-Mart. :/

It's hard to say that either way though. They don't HAVE to give us anything. It's not spending 150 dollars for a 12 dollar game, because the 150 dollars you spent were actually on full games that were probably worth the cost if you were willing to buy it for that price. It's just a way of getting a bigger output than your input, and I love it. I think it's better than the other games available.

Anyways, I did buy the game, and I'm loving it. I can hardly see my water droplets that separate on my tiny screen, so it's really hard, but it still manages to be fun. I'm surprised at how much like Metroid it actually is, and that is by no means a bad thing. I love how you're collecting Rainbow Drops to open doors that require a certain amount, it reminds me of spending hours getting stars in SM64. I really hope something better doesn't come out next month, but this seems like a game I'll be playing for a while.

EDIT: @SKTTR, I didn't notice your post before I made mine. That's funny that you described it in the same way that I did.

Anyways, I've always liked physics. I'm thinking of going into theoretical physics, actually. So a good physics-based challenge is always great in my book.

Is there any DLC available for TNT Racers yet? I was actually giving this game some consideration, but I don't want to be let down by a lack of DLC like Moto Heroz. Adverstising any game as having DLC is definitely a selling point and shouldn't be disregarded.

If there were two WiiWare games I would recommend, it would be Castlevania ReBirth and Texas Hold' Em Poker.

I would say to get Bomberman Blast. It's such a fun little game to just pop in and play alone, locally, and online (there are still people that do play this game online)!

Also, Pop and Defend Your Castle are fun games to just pass the time with. They may not get the high review scores, but I loved them!

Just a little recommendation for TORIBASH - Violence Perfected which I now started to play online (it´s still active).

It´s a physics&round-based online fighting choreography simulator.

It´s probably the most realistic fighter ever made: you can choose the parts and muscles of the body you want to move and use. Matrix style air fighting is possible, just as well as Wrestling, Judo, Capoeira, Karate, and just everything. If you don´t like the fighting aspect you can make your character dance, doing somersaults, or... well... make love (and save and share funny replays).
After some fiddling around you´ll find unlimited depth in this game.
And if you decide to fight this can be more brutal and satisfying than any Mortal Kombat. With lots of bodyliquids and parts flying around.

Bottom line: Best fighter on Wii. (Well, next to Brawl) And just 10 bucks.

I always wanted a demo of Toribash.
