Obscure II set to scare up some action on the Wii this year

We actually played the first Obscure game and the similarities between it and the teen horror flicks of the late 90's (The Faculty, Disturbing Behavior) were all well and good, just the game itself wasn't very fun. Nor was it very good. Regardless, we're getting a sequel to the game in Q4 of this year.

Still, the news of the franchise seeing a sequel on the Wii manages to excite us just a little. We are survival-horror fans by nature, even if it is "whiny-teen survival horror," so the prospect of attacking enemies and navigating a dangerous environment with the Wiimote and nunchuk is a welcome one. We'll just have to wait until we see more before passing judgment ...
