GWC: We’re so used to seeing the term “chaos” bandied about that we’ve become desensitized to the word. We think it means some kind of evil dark magic attack that’s totally going to kill all the enemies onscreen, or that alignment in your D&D group that’s going to let you get away with doing whatever you want, regardless of sense or logic. We forget that chaos is not necessarily the best state of affairs: Total panic–confusion–anarchy–insani ty.
Xbox live arcade indie games, the area where upcoming developers show off their new babies to the gaming community. Chaos Node brings you a puzzle boggling action game from Zombie Monkey Games.
This reminds me a lot of the arcade game Bust a Move and also Geometry ars with the spectacular colours. Like Bust a Move, in Chaos Node you have a bunch of coloured balls & shapes, and you shoot coloured balls at them. Hit the same colours and you’ll destroy them and get points. Where it differs from that classic game is that in Chaos Node, true to its name, hass a whole lot more chaos. Your gun is in the middle of the screen and whenever you hit a wrong colour ball, it bounces away which in turn will hit other balls and before long everything on screen is bouncing all over the place.
