- A fascinating story. ¿Will you be able to help Nyx discover what happened to her friend Icarus?

Interesting. Might have to get this.

Finally, a cool WiiWare game. Even though I would've liked a full retail game for this franchise.... better than nothing I guess. Nintendo needs to do this with more of their popular franchises, like making a 2.5D Mario as a WiiWare game, instead of all these brain training games and ping pong shit.

That looks really really really really cool.

If you're interested in Icarus type stuff you should listen to the Thrice song: Daedalus

Go there, click the second album cover in the player, and it's the fourth track, really great song.
