So…I’ve been playing some games recently — more than usual. Normally, I don’t really play games, because most of them don’t hold my interest for very long. This week’s been weird, though.<\/p>\n
We got the first Lego Star Wars through GameFly, discovered that it’s a two-player cooperative type game, and spent a day playing through it — right up to the Darth Vader level [the last level, probably]. Stupid lava jumpy falley-away shit.
\n
\nIt’s really fun, though, except for that last level, and the podrace one. Wow, did the podrace suck. It’s a short game, though, and I’m not sure what the replay value would be, so renting it is probably a good idea for most people.<\/p>\n
The rest of my time since, well, Tuesady, has been spent going between Big Brain Academy and Animal Crossing: Wild World.<\/p>\n
Big Brain Academy is just a great game. It could be better, but not by much. There are five different gropuings of puzzles you can do: Think, Memorize, Anallyze, Compute, and Identify. They’re all timed, which is the crappy part. I’d really like to just have an untimed run through all the puzzles under the ‘Get in Shape’ game.<\/p>\n
I’m a little lost on what else to say about it right now, meh.<\/p>\n
Animal Crossing…well, I was warned about it. It’s somewhat addictive, and a hell of a lot better on the DS than on the GameCube. The TouchScreen really does a great deal for the gameplay — like, being able to drag your stylus along the ground, and having your character follow it [instead of using the D-pad].<\/p>\n
I’ve been playing since Wednesday, and I’ve already paid off my mortgage, ‘upgraded’ the size of my house [which is supposed to be done today], gotten a shovel, a fishing rod, and a bug-catching net, and…well…it’s just fun. There’s this Legend of Zelda without the Saving the Princess aspect.<\/p>\n
…and there’s not much I can do with it today, because the store in the game is closed for remodeling.<\/p>\n
Oh well. I think I’d recommend it. I know I’d recommend Big Brain Academy — it’s an absolutely wonderful game concept. Both games are making me love the new touch-screen concept. Touch screens make for some entertaining gameplay options.<\/p>\n
I can’t wait to try out the New Super Mario Bros. and Trauma Center, both of which are in my GameFly queue.<\/p>\n
I haven’t got the attention span for this….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
