I hope that a lot of my readers are video game fanatics, and have at least heard of the Dead Space video game. The game may not have been the next Doom, but it apparently deserved a sequel: Dead Space Extraction.

Actually, this one’s a prequel. While the first Dead Space was made for the PS3, this one is exclusively for the Wii. It takes advantage of the Wii’s motion-controller so you can shoot a lot of violent aliens in this violent M-rated game.

Yes, I’ve spoken about violent video games before, and this would be one of them. I still haven’t changed my mind about them, and if you would like more information, go ahead and click here.

While I was doing some shopping at a Fred Meyer, I saw Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings on sale for $19.99. I couldn’t believe it! This video game just came out. Apparently, it was not a big hit.

To paraphrase a line from Robocop: “Now I’d buy that for twenty dollars”. I figured it was worth trying. After all, I still remember Indy back in his 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark glory, something that faded after that last Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fiasco. Those of you who were disappointed at seeing aliens in that fourth Indy film should know that Indiana is back to finding religious artifacts again as the Staff of Kings is really the Staff of Moses.

See my full review here. I can’t really recommend the game, but if you are looking for a little action, this is a fun way to entertain yourself for a while. I’d recommend playing it with the Wii, then use the Nyko Action Pack.
