Zack & Wiki is a clever puzzle game that puts the Wii remote to great use as you manipulate your environments to nab treasure through over twenty stages. They're super elaborate, often challenging and hugely rewarding when you finally get to that chest. Capcom put a lot of effort into the game, and finally produced one of those rare third party products for Wii that isn't horrendous shovelware.

However, the game is a little hard to sell to people without letting them play it first-hand. So, to build hype and get people interested, the folks over at IGN Wii started up a 'Buy Zack & Wiki' campaign. Today, the game finally hits shelves in Australia, and it seems only right to follow in their footsteps. We've had the game in our grubby little hands for a few days now, with a review up shortly. It's obvious it will be positive.

So, a message: If you want your Wii to have quality third party efforts from major studios, you need to support the good games that they put out. And that means buying Zack & Wiki. Hey, perhaps you can find a rental copy to check it out first. But know that if Capcom doesn't get the sales they want out of this, they're going to be hard pressed to see why they should make clever, challenging, beautiful Wii games in the future.

Interesting you say that, because we've actually got a beta of a little app that scans online gaming stores and pulls back prices for items that you search for.

You can save 13 bucks and get it shipped within 24 hours if you buy off Ezygames.
