Hey Kids! It's the Great Kazoo with reviews you can use! Reviews up the wazoo! Yahoo!
Working day in day out means I can't spend much time on the blog lately but I'm determined to get back up to speed ASAP! As a result, I'm going to quickly review the latest and greatest that Nintendo has to offer. I've bought quite a bit of new material lately and have lots to report. Let's get started.
1. The World Ends With You (DS)
Blarg. Sucks. I don't know why this game was generating so much hype. It's boring as Hell. Sell.
2. Okami (Wii)
Yep, a port from the PS2 but one of the best games of the year nonetheless. The control scheme was made for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Technology has finally caught up to this title which was a little ahead of its time when it was released. Beautiful watercolor artwork, engaging story, atmospheric music. A must buy.
3. Super Dodgeball Brothers (DS)
Do you have a friend? If not, don't bother with this title.
4. Extreme Space Invaders (DS)
Addictive for about five minutes. It's like "Hey! Remember Space Invaders? Yeah, those were the days." And then you're done.
5. Arkanoid (DS)
In order to keep the price down the paddle was left out of the North American release. For whatever reason, I bought it anyway. No paddle = dealbreaker. Forget it or import it from Play Asia.
6. Guitar Hero: On Tour (DS)
Kids if you don't have the money to buy this tite then go into your mom's purse, look through her wallet and just steal the money. You owe it to yourself. Even though my hands now resembles a bug's claws this game is still pure gold.
7. Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS)
I hate titles like this that follow the Title (Subtitle): Tertiary Title format. But I'll forgive this game's pretentious moniker and give it a buy rating. A very deep and entertaining game whose ROI is extremely high.
8. Lego Indiana Jones (DS)
I love the Lego Star Wars titles and quite enjoy the Lego Indiana Jones cart. It's really quite good. Only one gripe and that's carried over from the other Lego games: Opportunities to save are few and far between (you have to finish a whole episode before it will autosave). It's really a downer when you have to leave your DS on sleep all day and can't switch out your game until you play through the whole scene. Every DS games should include a save on request function. It's a damn portable after all! What happens when my bus ride is over?
9. My Weight Loss Coach (DS)
Embarassing to buy but a very cute "game." The pedometer works great and it will actually make a difference in your life if you play it every day. Which I don't.
