As expected, the fourth Lightning Deal is We Cheer. This post is going to be short because, to be honest, I don't have much to say about this game. I want to say I played it at E3 last year and it wasn't too bad, but nothing I'd ever want to buy or have laying around the house at any price. Amazon's deal is slashing the price in half to about $20, though, so this might be a good pick-up for parents with little girls dying to play the cheerleading game.
Be warned before you buy this one for a kid, though: just about every major outlet to review it described the gameplay as excruciatingly hard. I didn't think it was so bad, but this is definitely more of a very precise rhythm game than the sort of free-waggling easy-going adventure you might expect from a Wii game for little girls. I mean, if the guy at 1up spends four hours trying to beat what is described as the easiest song in story mode and can't do it, then you may end up with a crying daughter on your hands.
The clue for the final deal is "That's so cute! The animals think they're people!" I'd like for this to be Animal Crossing, but I've got this uneasy feeling that it'll turn out to be a Petz game or one of the other Wii Nintendogs shovelware knockoffs.
