One sentence reviews - Sept 27
I’ve planning on doing micro reviews for awhile but then Deacon decided to steal that concept and do some himself! Oh well, here’s my week.
Samba De Amigo Wii
Gives you that nostalgic feeling of the DC maraccas which is not necessarily a good thing, but being packed full of songs and modes saves it.
8/10
De Blob
Blissfully rolling around and painting a city is fun and the collectibles make it worthwhile.
9/10
Sim City Creator
A game franchise that should stick to the PC to avoid shoddy controls and pointless gameplay additions.
6/10
Harvest Moon DS
Best Harvest Moon game since the N64.
9/10
Rhythm Tengoku Gold
Great sequel to the best rhythm game on the GBA, if only the touch screen didn’t get old and the games weren’t so hard.
8/10
The Sims 2 Apartment Life
This expansion does lots I’ve wanted done for awhile, including controlling multiple (but seperate) families and being a witch.
9/10
Beautiful Katamari
A game that should have been on the PS3 with paid to unlock content and hopecrushing levels.
6/10
One Sentence Reviews (Sep27/08)
I’ve been playing a crapload of games this week. Instead of doing a “Latest Obsessions” I’m just going to do some quick 1 sentence reviews.
Samba De Amigo (Wii) - Controls are kinda crappy but the game is still crazy fun and worth the pickup - 7/10 (Pick of the Week)
Wario Land: Shake It! (Wii) - Wario turned into Saberman, not a bad thing. - 9/10
De Blob (Wii) - Best 3rd party, full priced Wii game to hit the system. - 8/10
Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood (NDS) - The best Sonic game since Sonic 3 and Knuckles and it’s not developed by Sega, imagine that. - 8/10

Current Obsessions: Peggle Nights Deluxe (PC)
Picked up Peggle Nights from Popcap earlier this week and finally got aound to give it a try. If you’ve never heard of Peggle think of a cross between pachinko and pinball. I’ve been playing with it for the past 2 hours and here’s my hands on so far!

Homestar Ruiner

After playing both of these games and already being a big fan of tell tale games and their Sam and Max episodes how did Strong Bad stack up against them? Are they worth your time and money? Find out after the jump!
Filed under Games | Comment (0)Erika’s top 8 PC games
Unlike game consoles that really only have a set lifespan, PC games are generally categorized all together instead of being separted like the other console games. I couldn’t decide on only five games I enjoyed (REALLY enjoyed) so I went the MySpace route and picked a top 8.
8. Myst 4
Had I been the one to play this and not watch/help Deacon this game would probably have wade it higher on my list. It’s graphically improssive, has a great story and puzzles, and is one of the only decent point and click adventures made in this decade.
Check out the rest after the break!
Filed under Lists | Comment (1)Erika’s top 5 PSP games
The PSP is my favourite handheld gaming system for may reasons. First of all, it has a lot of functionality like music and video playback (I watch movies on it all the time), RSS feed agregator, web browser, hackonable emulators, themes and more. Plus, it has an amazing selection of games. When writing this article I had to first ask “do all of the ports and remakes on the PSP really count as games?”. These are some of my bigger selling points on the PSP so it’s come down to this… TWO LISTS!
Check out “Top 5 ORIGINAL PSP games” and “Top 5 PSP ports/remakes” after the break.
Filed under Lists | Comment (0)Erika’s Top 5 DS Games
Alright it’s time to move on to the handheld section. I have played a ridiculous amount of different DS games so now you can find out exactly what I think is really good.
5. Phoenix Wright Series
This is the best point and click adventure series on the market today. I love the story and it’s so fun to solve. A must play.
More after the break!
Filed under Lists | Comment (0)Erika’s Top 5 Wii Games
Unlke Deacon. I’ve been consistantly updating every day with a new top 5 list, and it was his idea! Either way, I still have many more days of lists to go (seeing as we own a whole hell of a lot of consoles) so at least there will consistantly be new content. Here are wy favourite Wii games.
5. My Sims
I love the Sims, everyone knows it. Although this is really nothing like the PC version and very cutified, it’s still a good game. You have to go around and get people to come to you village and build things for them. It’s pretty fun!

Filed under Lists | Comment (0)Erika’s Top 5 PS3 Games
I love my PS3. It plays bluray which looks friggan amazing. Unfourtunatly it doesn’t have a lot of exclusives and most of the cross platform games I have already bought for other consoles. That being said, there are a lot of fantastic titles I would totally recommend!
5. Super Rub a Dub
Use the Sixaxis controller and play as the mama duck trying to collect your baby ducks while trying to avoid little wind up sharks. This game is cute and quacktastic.
More after the break.
Filed under Lists | Comment (1)Deacon’s top 5 XBox 360 games
As Erika said in her earlier post we’re going to list our favorite games accross all the consoles we own in hopes that it persueds some of our readers to give them a go for themselves!
The Xbox 360 was a hard one to do as there’s alot of games that I personally like on the system but are also cross platform. In the end I decided I’d list the games that since buying the 360 I’ve had the most fun with or have stood out to me in some way.
So what did I choose? Find out after the jump!
