Let's Tap may just redeem creator Yuji Naka for all the post-Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games. The product of his recently-established studio Prope, Let's Tap takes a novel approach to the human/game interface involving a face-down Wii Remote, a cardboard surface, and a set of steady fingers. Naka famously stated that "even penguins can play." But judging from what we saw today, they might be too heavy-footed.
The brief demo we got to see rewarded a soft touch and a steady rhythm. Sterling and Miguel got a chance to check out this intriguing little game during a rare quiet moment on the show floor.
Spiffy:
+ Novel approach to input and interaction.
Iffy:
- Cardboard boxes are fragile?
- may not justify a full-price release.
Brash Games writes "The Wii has been all but abandoned by core gamers for some time now, but even with its predecessor, the Wii U, just around the corner, here are 5 reasons that the Nintendo Wii is still deserving of your time and attention".
Playing video games can be one of the most enthralling and addictive pastimes, transporting you into a fantasy world and hooking you in with immersive gameplay, with the scope of game-makers limited only by their imaginations. Anything is possible. Anything.
So why on earth did someone decide to make Euro Truck Simulator?
ShortList guides you through 10 of the most boring games ever created; play these at your peril, or maybe do play them if you have insomnia.
I agree. Those two games were ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz.
La Noire was just a big tech demo for their new facial animations.
L.A Noire was a big disappointment to me. Quite repetitive, boasted one hell of a huuge nicely rendered map that was practically full of nothing to do.
Restrictive gameplay scenarios in how you approach / solve cases. The facial animations is what was amazing, but the rest was a letdown especially with the amount of little things you can do in the game.
Depends on personal preference/choice. I loved Heavy Rain. It was something new and fresh, and I'm glad I played it.
The Wiire writes: "Could A Wii game that you play without touching the Wiimote possibly be fun?
Nintendo claims they are "innovators." With the Wii, the DS and the Dsi, many believe that Nintendo has lived up to their claims. Even with these innovations on the hardware side, there is little argument that there is a lack of innovation in third-party developed software. With a few exceptions in games like Boom Blox, not many games find interesting mechanics besides the basic waggle."
