Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points™
Description: Aura-Aura has fallen out of the sky and landed on Earth. He is determined to return to his rightful place in the universe and become a bright star. Take control of Aura-Aura, and help him to accomplish this by using his grapple arm to grab a variety of grapple points and continuously climb higher in the sky. Along the way, collect items to aid him (bombs, extensions for his grapple arm) and avoid enemies that damage Aura-Aura's health. Two modes of play offer very different challenges: Score Attack, in which you try to get to the goal with as many points as possible, and Endless, in which your aim is simply to help Aura-Aura climb as high into the sky as possible within the time limit. And even if you think you've mastered the art of climbing, both modes offer numerous medals to find or earn by completing specific tasks. With its intuitive controls, straightforward game play, and incredible replay value, Aura-Aura's journey is arcade-style gaming at its best ... or should that be its highest?

What Have You Played This Week?

I didn't get much gaming in. unfortunately, with power randomly cutting out i've not played a lot. Also, again with the ISP change over I didn't get much online gaming done.

Football Manager 10 – PC – thought I would have a go with another team. I'm now Annan and making my way through the first seasn.

Wipeout HD Fury – PS3 – played some offline races. Got stuck trying to get enough points to unlock another cell.

Unreal III – PS3 – near the end of chapter 4 now. Whilst the controls are great, the AI is stating to get annoying. This is defiantly a game that is best played in co-op and not one where you should rely on the AI to do the sensible thing. I'm stuck on avalanche but I have a few ideas on how to win it.

Okami – Wii – in the mayhem of the last week or so I forgot that I had rented this game. I've played the game in two big chunks and i'm starting to fall for the game. The graphics are amazing, the characters are great; there's a good sense of humour in the game, and it plays well. There are some issues with the WiiMote in the beginning, but it's easy to learn to compensate for them and they're not an issue now. I have no idea how far i'm into the game but I don't care, the game is flowing naturally and i'm hooked.

Halo ODST – 360 – I only turned on the 360 to change my wireless settings, but this was in the disc drive so I had a go. The graphics are average, apart from the face models which look terrible. The visor is a great addition and the subtle hints in the landscape on what to do is very well done. I'm not far into the story but i'm interested in seeing where it goes and what happened to the other ODST's. The combat takes a little to get used to, got to remember that your not the chief.

What have you been playing this week? feel free to add your weeks gaming selection in the comments, or comment on my selection for this week

Press Release

BRISBANE, Australia --(Business Wire)-- Feb 18, 2010 Based on the “Blade Kitten” comic book series by creator Steve Stamatiadis, Krome Studios is bringing bounty hunter Kit Ballard to digital life with the Blade Kitten downloadable video game. The action adventure game, developed by Krome Studios, is set for release on the PlayStation(R)Network from PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system in Spring 2010.

“Blade Kitten is a brain child of mine that originated as a comic series,” said Steve Stamatiadis, Krome co-founder and creative director, who also created the multi-million selling Ty the Tasmanian TigerTM series. “Bringing Kit’s anime-inspired universe to life is a milestone for us, and we’re excited to open her world up to gamers on the PlayStation Network.”

Blade Kitten invites players into the world of Hollow Wish, where they take on the role of Kit Ballard, one of the best bounty hunters in the business. With her pink hair and tail, Kit is part cat, part girl - and fully lethal. As one of the last of her species, Kit commands her unique “Darque Blade” hovering sword to defeat enemies. Also along for the ride is Skiffy, Kit’s laid-back sidekick who lends a hand in collecting items, solving puzzles, and when needed, serves as Kit’s protector.

Blade Kitten goes beyond most downloadable titles to deliver a strong narrative, with high-quality cinematics, and a colorful, frenetic visual style, that lends to the pick-up-and-play arcade action.
