Gearheads of War

about a month before it was even released here.  They did enjoy it very much and would still be playing it if it weren't for Halo 3 and now Mario Kart Wii.  I myself can hardly be in the same room, except that I love to hear them laughing and yelling.

I think that Yahtzee is mistaken in his button mashing theory and is more correct when he mentioned those that get really good, but then can't find a fun match because no one else is as good.  With the exception of maybe a little character unbalance (Pikachu seems to get criticized alot), this is a game where, had Yahtzee gone online to try it he would have discovered almost immediately, you CAN get good and it isn't just all about button mashing.  That became EXTREMELY clear when my boys repeatedly got their butts handed to them by, what we with great laughter assumed was a 30 year-old, single Otaku (Japanese shy-boy geek).
