Why No More Heroes restores my faith in gaming

First of all I want to welcome everyone back. I was a litle busy with school so I wast able to contribute to Gamespot in a while.

2007 is a year many consider the "Year of the Shooters." There was a lot of quality software coming out towards the end of the year it was almost too much! I have enjoyed playing many of the FPS's but I just hope it doesnt go the way of the repetitive beat em ups of the 16 bit era. Now that it's 2008 (Happy belated New Year!) I wanted to try my hands at something new. That is when I decided to try No More Heroes. I was not dissapointed. The game was like a breath of fresh air. I beliieve every Wii owner should get this game. The art style, memoriable characters, and the over-the-top actioin really made this game shine. As I was playing I had a instant rush of nostagia of being in the good ol days of gaming in 1997-1999.(The best years of gaming IMHO) It dsheartens me that the game sold poorly in Japan but I hope that might be a different story in the US. I would really like to see more fresh new orginal franchises that push the boundaries of what fun should be. I ask you all to please support games like these so that we wont be subjected to uninspired gameplay. New franchises like Fragile and Little Big Planet should keep things interesting, I look foward to playing them in the future. I wish you all a great year and keep on gaming! Until next time...
