I Got my first and last code for the Deluxe Digital Promotion a few weeks ago. After this, I pondered what I was possibly going to spend it towards. I decided on Meme Run, a brand-new Wii U exclusive. I love rage comics and memes, so I bought it because it seemed like a good game.

 Meme Run is an infinite-running platform game where the player controlls a dancing troll face stick figure whose mouth is closed (probably due to copyright reasons??) to jump and slide. Across the emoticon-studded terrain. The only danger here is either a pitfall or getting dragged off the screen by the scrolling crushing you against a wall. You gain Swag points as you go on, and you can pick up an Illuminati badge to increase youe score multiplier. As you run, memes and stuff appear on screen. You only have one life; death is final.

 Is Meme Run a good game? Reviewers criticize it harshly. The Question is: why would someone go and create a dumb Wii U game about a running troll who works for the Illuminati? Contrariwise, I find it a blessing. While I didn't expect it to be nearly as arcade-like for the price of $5, it still provides fodder for a good mini-game to kill time with. It's the Flappy Bird of console gaming! If you're short on cash for games, though, it's best to sit this one out.
