What Have You Played This Week?

Even though that week was fairly calm news wise, it took a lot of my time to get through 3D Dot Game Heroes. It was nice to put a decent amount of time into Football Manager 10 and to play some Demos that interested me. I would've preferred to have got more Transformer trophies, but overall I had a good game playing week.

Football Manager 10 – PC – well Christmas came and I had to sell many of my big players as I couldn't afford their contracts. Its a shame, but it bought in good money for the club. I bought some youngsters and a couple of replacements. Still in mid-table and looking fine, but I was just knocked out of the FA Cup quarter Final Replay by Chelsea.

3D Dot Game Heroes – PS3 – I've finished the game. That fire dungeon was by far the hardest part of the game as was its boss. Despite this, I still enjoyed it and I do recommend the game. Its more than just its unique look, and a game that fans of old school games will enjoy. Because its an homage to old games, some parts maybe frustrating but I believe that it is good enough to look beyond that. I do recommend that you use a FAQ for the game. Some games, like this, are built with an FAQ in mind and by the time I looked for help in the fire dungeon...i had missed plenty of things. In the end I still managed to get some of the hidden items which help you play immensely and you should use a FAQ to get them. Also, this game is longer than it looks. I clocked in just over 24 hours and if I had a FAQ I doubt it would've been shorter as there is plenty of things to do. For me this was a good rental, the game does have a play+ mode and another hidden mode for which there are collectables and trophies to earn, but I only recommend people do this if they are hardcore for the genre and buy the game as it could easily take 70+ hours to complete it all.

Transformers: War For Cybertron – PS3 – I've gone back to the single player campaign to get some of the trophies I missed. Its taking longer than I thought it would but I should get it done in the next day or so.

Shank – PS3 – Demo – I was intreguied by this game. Its art style is great and I wondered what its gameplay would be like. The demo is 2GB but you do get to play the start of the game right through to the first level boss. The action was fast and bloody and, for me, good. There are some interesting things in the game, like a good use of picture in picture. This is a good demo and I would buy the game if I had the money.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 – PS3 – Demo – I've got into Naruto recently and I decided to download the demo for the latest game, thankfully there don't appear to be any spoilers for me as i'm only up to the end of the Naruto Anime. The graphics are very good and fit well for the Anime. The combat is a little more complicated and integrates Quick Time Events in cinematic moments. After playing the demo i'm very interested in playing the game and will look to rent it when it comes out.

Did you manage to play more games than I have over the week, or do you have any comments on my experiences or questions about the games i've played? If you do, feel free to add them in the comments section.

Nintendo Reveal Its Penny Arcade Expo Line-up

Nintendo have revealed the games they are showing at PAX. these games will be at Nintendo's Booth, #352, and they will be a mix of Nintendo's own titles and the big games coming from third part developers. The Games Are:

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Fluidity (WiiWare)
Metroid: Other M
GoldenEye 007 from Activision
NBA JAM from EA SPORTS
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels Of The Starry Skies (DS)

Nintendo have also announced they will be distributing an exclusive "Orgodemir" map for anyone with Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels Of The Starry Skies in Tag Mode.

Press Release

The upcoming Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle will give consumers their first-ever chance to play upcoming Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ games. Visitors to Nintendo's booth (#352) will be able to get their hands on games such as Donkey Kong Country™ Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn™, GoldenEye 007™ from Activision Publishing, Inc. and NBA JAM from EA SPORTS™. Fluidity, a new game for Nintendo's WiiWare™ downloadable game service, will also make its debut at PAX.

Nintendo's Fluidity combines an amazing physics engine that realistically models flowing water with innovative puzzle game play. Using the three forms of water - liquid, ice and cloud - players will solve challenging puzzles across multiple chapters of an illustrated magical book called Aquaticus. The game offers detailed tutorials that introduce basic game mechanics, but the complexity quickly ramps up as special powers are acquired and enemies are introduced, testing players' reflexes and ingenuity.

PAX attendees will also be able to get their hands on Metroid™: Other M to see the seamless new perspective-switching first-person/third-person approach to this classic franchise. Visitors to the booth can also view one-of-a-kind costumes and props from the new Metroid: Other Mtelevision commercial in a special display area. Combining exploration, combat and a storyline that delves into the personal history of bounty hunter Samus Aran, Metroid: Other M launches on Aug. 31.

With so many video game fans converging in one place, PAX is the ideal place for players who already own DRAGON QUEST® IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies™ to gather to trade treasure maps or go questing together. Nintendo will provide DRAGON QUEST IX owners at the show with a special downloadable "Orgodemir" map via the game's cooperative "Tag Mode" feature. Anyone who hasn't yet purchased the game for the Nintendo DS family of systems can try it out at the Nintendo booth, and those looking to meet up with other players can do so at a special game-themed lounge in the North Lobby on level four of the PAX venue.

To receive treasure maps, players must have their Nintendo DS system running the DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies game, set to Tag Mode. Once players reach the town of Stornway, they are able to access Tag Mode by talking to Erinn at the inn called "Quester's Rest."
