I know what you're saying. "You're not supposed to recommend gold-rated threads!"

But you might also be saying, "I don't really like/care about the Wii U, and of the games I do care about, Wonderful 101 seems kind of anonymous." (Then my wife got me one, and that first part changed.)

And if you're like me, you probably said the latter. Even having seen videos of Wonderful 101, I didn't really get it and it didn't seem to hold my interest. But Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus do their thing on Wonderful 101 and you get cut and uncut commentary, gameplay tips, and the combination of expert play (Chip) and first-time experience (Ironicus). If you've seen their LPs, it's that usual five-star experience.

If you skipped this at first because "much as I like C&I, I don't know that I care about this game", give it a shot. What seemed like "actiony Pikmin" is maybe more like Pikmin meets Bayonetta, while Chip shows off and gets Pure Platinum on everything (EXCEPT THAT FIRST VIDEO, HA). In fact, the only reason I stopped at episode 3-1 is because they convinced me to get the game and I'd like to experience more myself! Is there a better recommendation than that?
