The Wii… pretty dull at times isn't it? Nintendo's family pleasing monolith of white hasn't exactly gained itself a reputation for producing vast amounts of unusual, quirky titles. Of late, this has been slowly changing, what with the Bit.Trip series, Let's Tap and the evergreen World Of Goo but, like snacking on a tube of Pringles, there's always room for more, and this latest from the publishers of Disgaea could well join their lofty but lonely ranks.
Siliconera: Fast forward to three quarters into this fiscal year (April 2010 – December 31, 2010) and Nippon Ichi Software looks like they are in better shape.
The PS3 has one of the most original, fresh, and relaxing games every to be released with the unique creation simply known as flOw. That title is just a simple game of swimming around in an amoebic-like world as you eat smaller organisms and battle for your parasitic life against bigger microscopic entities. Viral Survival is a lot like flOw, but is far faster, frantic, and can be a lot of fun in small bursts.
Game Vortex writes: "Viral Survival is the illegitimate offspring of Geometry Wars and Snake. While I lack the DNA evidence to prove its parentage, there's enough DNA to provide a fun, fast arcade experience.
Viral Survival is fun to look at. This is one of the few games where I've had just as much fun scrolling through menus as I did looking at the in-game graphics. They're really nothing more than a few scrolling menus, yet there's something really fun about watching them zip, scale and zoom in every direction on the screen."
