Furbies are the plural of Furby, a late '90's or early 2000's children's toy which was basically a cross between a Tamagotchi-style toy and a Tickle-Me-Elmo. You could interact with them based on what they said, and over time, they used more English than Furbish, but all around, they're very crazy and annoying toys.

I think that perhaps some readers may want to check out our track record on Wii reviews before they claim there's a bit of bias, as well. Out of our last 25 reviews we've published, believe it or not, eight have been four-star or higher Wii exclusives. Earning four stars here at PixlBit is not an easy task, and it's something I think any developer should be proud to achieve. I've linked to our reviews of these games below, but if you want to see more of our history, it's all available on the site. Go and take a look, but understand that just because you don't agree with one review, and just because we reference games on all platforms, does not mean inherent bias against any specific platform. Like I said, check us out before you formulate that opinion.

I think people need to understand that 3/5 stars is above average, and we don't use a numerical system quite the same way. We're not saying the game earned a 6/10 or a 60%, because we think number grades on a 10 or 100 point scale are biased to school grades, where anything worse than 80% means it's average. That's not our system.
If you take a look at Nick's review, the biggest bone of contention is that the game is repetitive. It has great control, looks great, and everything seems perfect in concept, but the actual game, to him, felt very redundant.
Personally, without playing the game, I can't say whether I feel it's the same, but I definitely empathize, in that I've played many, many games that just feel repetitive, and in fact, games that do have that feeling generally are only average or slightly above average games.
I forgot to download flOw back when it was free on Valentine's Day! I regret the decision, but I have to say I agree, it's not worth eight dollars, from what I've seen.
I remember seeing Kerotan all over Metal Gear Solid 3, IIRC. Chris was playing, and he'd croak whenever you'd hit him. Ga-Ko, I only know from the camouflage, though.
I was surprised to see this game on the shelf the last time I went to Wal-Mart, really. While I'm happy it is available, really, it should have been sold out. I mean it when I say this game is really an experience nearly everyone imaginable would enjoy.
What, no one else besides he and I grew up around Furbies?
Mee-mee noo-loo. Wah!
Ahh Ahh... Yum
Sounds like it should be ported to PSN, Xbox Live Arcade and Wiiware, almost. Perhaps I should look into Metal Slug Anthology, then, since I love two player titles.
