Real life party
That's right. That word up there does indeed say party. Do you know what it means? Going by what your average Joe on the street thinks of us gamers, you don't. But we all know what party means. It means awkward small talk, thinking you have a chance when you really don't, £4 bottles of beer that end up down your £250 Topman shirt, freezing your tits off waiting for a night bus, three hour journeys on the night bus, the dreaded spins, choking on your own vomit, two hours sleep, a banging hangover, thinking about phoning in sick, deciding against it and then having to do a full day's work. Think Skins but without the fit thin people. That's what the word party means to us.
Mario Party 8
Given our opinion of parties above, partying on the Wii would have to be pretty bad to lose out right? Well Mario Party 8 is pretty bad and then some. The core gameplay is so mind-numbingly dull that you'd get more kicks out of waiting for a kettle to boil and watching paint dry all at the same time. Nintendo would have us believe that you can have a banging night in with its casual oriented console. That might be true, but not with Mario Party 8.
Verdict
Despite our complete lack of social skills, natural aversion to loud music and a show-on-demand sick note when it comes to strobe lighting, we'd rather queue for an hour to get in a club, queue another hour to get a drink and then have it knocked out of our hands by a drunken chav than stay in to party on the Wii. This one goes to real life.
