\"wipeout\"<\/a>Have you ever watched a television show and wished you could be on it? I have many times! Whether it’s a game show or talent competition or agility race, I have always wanted to at least try. But alas, I\u00a0know I’m not coordinated enough\u00a0and\u00a0that I do not have a dancing\u00a0bone\u00a0anywhere in my body. Lucky for me, videogames let me\u00a0try my hand at reality television\u00a0without the possibility of failure on a national public<\/em>\u00a0level. It’s a win!<\/p>\n

Wipeout: The Game<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is one such game that I recently discovered. Wipeout<\/em> is a game show on ABC that features contestants competing against each other in what the show calls “the world’s biggest obstacle course”. I believe it. Contestants flip through the air, flop into puddles of mud and water, and generally get beat-up as they compete to win the game. Wipeout: The Game<\/em> lets you experience all the elements of the television show with no danger of injuring yourself. Don’t worry, the competition is still there as you try to hit the button at the end of the course as quick as you can. Play with up to four of your friends as you battle over 50 crazy obstacles, including the most famous and recognizable ones from the television show: The Sweeper, Sucker Punch, Big Balls, and even more. As you’re racing, listen to the commentators give you advice and generally cringe for your well-being as you bounce from obstacle to obstacle. This game has slow motion replays just like the television show that highlight all the bone-jarring wipeouts that happen. If you still manage to be losing to your friends, don’t worry! You can throw objects at the other competitors when it’s not your turn.<\/p>\n

Pick up this game and live out your dream to compete in a game show with no worries of actually injuring yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
