So, last night I beat No More Heroes. The game itself is a 3rd person hack and slash game with relatively solid gameplay. The thing that makes the game notable, however, is the fact that it probably has the best writing in a game that I've seen since Portal. The whole thing has an ascerbic edge that is just brilliant. If you have a Wii and haven't yet played No More Heroes, you're doing it wrong.

If you don't believe me, I'll offer the 30 second explaination of the concept that is provided at the beginning of the game. The protaganist, Travis Touchdown, runs out of money to buy video games, so he takes out a contract to kill a man using a beam katana he won on an internet auction site to earn money. After killing his target, he finds out that he has become the 11th highest ranked assassin in the world. He decides to aim for becoming the number one assassin so that he can get into the pants of the hot chick who told him that he was number 11.

No really, I'm not making this up. It is, in fact, that brilliant.
