No More Heroes

And now for something completely different. The "we're not in Kansas anymore" feeling sets in right away with the game's bizarre chunky aesthetic. The self-consciously blocky graphics look like the game was built using the Virtua Fighter 2 engine circa 1994. The game stars a dickish dude named Travis Touchdown who finds himself fighting his way through 11 increasingly bizarre assassins with his light saber–ish thing, all in the name of scoring with a hot girl in a short skirts. Saving your game requires you to—no joke—sit on an honest-to-goodness toilet. Making sword slashes with the Wii remote is fun, but the game's beyond-irreverent spirit will either thrill you or kill you.
