Remember when Nintendo shied away from having any accessory that appeared violent or dangerous? Those days get blown away – literally – when you load a shooting game into your Wii and snatch hold of the Buckshot. Come on, how can you not go all Terminator 2 when you’ve got a pump action shotgun working? And with rubber grips to insure an easy caress and non-slip hold is a perfect cure to sweaty palms. This sure beats shooting at things with a Wii controller or some puny, hollow handgun.

So whether it’s Zombies or ducks or soldiers or civilians (nah, don’t shoot the civvies…), nothing beats the adrenaline rush of blowing them away with a pump action preceding a pull of the trigger.

Tech alert spoiler – it’s got a controller inside that works similar to the Wii’s Nunchuck. But it’s so much more a testosterone adventure having the trigger take care of the “A” button, and using the pump action to reload (accessing the “B” button).

And for those who can’t wrap their heads about the Buckshot coming in fire-engine red, there’s also a classic black edition. But who cares what color it comes in? Just as long as you can wrap your finger around the trigger, is what I say.

Fusing top-down race action with the type of blast-and-move business that made Geometry Wars such a frenzied affair, the title keeps things perky with Survivor and Eliminator modes, plus online leagues and a track editor to boot.

A must for all speed demons with dreams of causing destruction with a plasma cannon or laser mine, you can cop the full game for less than ten bucks this Friday by clicking here.

There was a time when video games were pretty controversial, with every news show saying that playing a game of Pokemon would turn you from an innocent, doe-eyed youth into a violent, doe-eyed killing machine. But somehow the Mario games never seemed to be too controversial, even though they managed to get some pretty messed-up messages subtly communicated to kids across the world. Maybe we should think twice before letting children play with fat, stereotypically-depicted plumbers who spend all day killing turtles…
