Top 3 DLC games that should go multiplatform

Posted by AliasRomanian 15 February, 2009 As News, Playstation, Wii, Xbox (0) Comment

Everyone always looks at what exclusive AAA title their favorite consoles have and then go crazy when an exclusive game is announced as a cross platform. This doesn’t bother me at all and I wish more games went multi platform but some limitations such as disc storage, controller functinallity, and just plain old past contracts prevent this. What I don’t understand is why developers choose to release their DLC only games on just one console. Below are the top 3 DLC games, one from each console that should be cross platform.

Braid
XBOX360

One of the most beautiful looking platformer/puzzle games across all systems. This game is more about trying to figure out how to get past a level by using Tim’s (the protagonist) powers rather than timing a jump Read More

Chu Chu Rocket Please!

Posted by AliasRomanian 20 October, 2008 As News, PC, Playstation, Wii, Xbox (0) Comment

Chu Chu Rocket was one of the most intense and best multiplayer games that came out in the last 10 years. I don’t think I could hate anyone more than a chump who placed his arrow in order to steal my mice!

If you’ve never played this game your basically trying to get mice to go to your space ship while avoiding cats and pitfalls. This is done by placing arrows that either go up, down, left, or right and it may sound simple but once you have 3 other people who trying to do the same thing it gets very intense and competitive.

I’m just surprised that Sega hasn’t put this out on VC, PSN, Live, or my favorite Steam service. I’d easily drop 10 bucks for this game (especially if it was on steam and I could use a mouse). Hopefully a release comes out sooner rather than later but until then I’m leaving everyone with this:

LostWinds Review

Posted by Baron Samedi 23 May, 2008 As News, Wii (0) Comment

Game: LostWinds
System: WiiWare
Publisher: Frontier
Players: 2
Cost: 1000 Wii Points
ESRB Rating: E
Similar Games: Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Okami, Kirby

You are Toku, a small, village boy, and Enril, spirit of the wind. Together you set off on a short, 4-hour adventure to free the idyllic Mistralis from the curse of Balazar. The gameplay is all puzzle-based, 2D platforming, with a world map that flows from deep caves to high waterfall, Metroid-style. A feeling of calm pervades LostWinds. Its spare soundtrack evokes a natural beauty that complements its clean, simple visuals of feudal Mistralis (Japan).

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King

Posted by AliasRomanian 20 May, 2008 As News, Wii (0) Comment

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

System: Wii
Publisher: Square Enix
Players: 1
Cost: $15-$30+

Premise-

Set in the Crystal Chronicles universe a young king is tasked to rebuild a ruined city with the help of his friends and hired adventurers.

Gameplay-

The player takes control of the young king and starts off on his task to once again bring glory to the city. This is done by hiring adventurers to go out and gather resources for you, using those resources to build houses and shops, and collecting a tax from your subjects to get better equipment and hire new adventurers. Adventurers are controlled by the AI once they go out on a mission (referred to as a behest) so you are never actually battling monsters. However, you do get updated with their progress with a type of RSS feed on the top right corner. Once the day ends you also get a detailed report on the entire dungeon crawling mission. A day in this game is roughly 5 minutes which you can skip ahead if you’ve done everything for that day which is a nice feature. Read More
