Zack & Wiki labelled as "sleeper hit" of the year

mistermostyn | December 24, 2007 | News | Wii 
BioShock, Mass Effect and Call of Duty 4 might be battling it out for the year's most coveted game award, but players looking for an alternative to the obvious might want to give Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure a try, according to USAToday.
This little cartoon gem about a heroic pirate boy (Zack) and his "whirly-gig" sidekick (Wiki) is suitably special thanks to a canny mixture that blends together fabulous humour, quirky adventure, and "outstanding environmental puzzles."

    Glad to a lesser known game get the spotlight. Most serious games seem to have either tons of hype or a series.
