Culture: Weird, interesting and deep. Three modes. First mode involves planting flowers to kill weeds. Imagine Qix played with multi-colored flowers on a spherical surface. Second mode is Paint with Flowers. It's basically computerized paint by numbers with flowers. A list of photos to choose from, and once you fill in all the areas it blooms into a beautiful flower photo. Finally, Flower Garden mode which shows all the different varieties of flowers you have. Sort of a trophy room. This game is strange. The guys from fl0w and these guys must smoke dope together.
Little Gamers: It gets better as you go, at least I can say that much. Not complex, and although there are plenty of weapons, there really aren't. If you know what I mean. By the time you're doing "Infiltration" it starts to get fun, and then the game is over shortly thereafter. There are Ninjas, Robots, Zombies, and others, along with beer drinking, coffee overdosing, and some other mildly funny gags. The play, on the other hand is pretty weak, consisting of platform-brawler fighting with no "oomph" to it. Extra points for controller config, something that that seems to get left out of major retail releases these days. Point immediately subtracted for making me choose "yes, I'm a n00b" to exit.
Rocket Ball: This is the kind of game I expected. Bland cartoony graphics, terrible controls (and I mean terrible), worse gameplay, and topped off with cheesy suburban puss rock. Kill it with fire.
Trilinia: Rotating puzzle-block combat with instructions. I'm sure it's very deep and complex, but also pretty confusing when a tornado comes down and sweeps the board, shortly after the board flips upside down moving all the pieces. Like playing Tetris against an adolescent AI who's losing.
Jelly Car: Caused my system to sit there and become unresponsive. Loaded the second time. So great. The sounds are hilarious. Everything giggles like jello. There's out of focus graph-paper as a background. I love it. It get pretty difficult, though.
Dead Samurai Dishwasher: Simply amazing. 2D side-scrolling platformy brawl fun with more blood than a serial killers convention. It plays great, it sounds great, and it looks so great it's hard to believe it's free on XNA at the moment. This is a game I'd py for, easily.
All in all, fairly impressive.
My friend was just wondering.
It's DMC in 2D!
