5. One of the titles bellow that I haven't actually played, but intend to soon as I've been somewhat too busy to play every single game that's come out, but know I'll love at least one of them. (My guess is currently Ghost Trick.
Those of you who read this blog are probably yet to stumble upon this little nugget: I love platformers. Platformers of any kind tend to take my fancy, be they 2D, 3D or the current industry favourite, 2.5D. Epic Yarn, however, is a completely new sort of look and feel for the genre. The fabricy effects are simply excellent- Charming and also help the game feel completely unique, despite being about the eight trillianth 2D platformer released on Wii lately, just proving that 1995's favourite genre still isn't dead.
I've just mentioned my love of jumping on things, however, Advance Wars is another title that has a habit of absorbing me in a way I wouldn't expect to be sucked in. Why am I mentioning this now? Because Ghost Recon on the 3DS may not seem like an ideal 3D showcase, but the turn-based strategy title is verging on being as good as it's Intellegent Systems-developer cousin. The best non-AW strategy game I've played in a long, long time. Possibly ever.
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
A marketing teams' dream: It's the game commonly described as the best ever, now redone with visuals to do it justice, on a handheld system for the first time. The constant "96% -Gamesmaster, 1998" and "10/10 -Eurogamer, 1998" we're seeing still stand up today, with familiarity being only of the only things forcing it down into second positon. It's a great game, and the 3D genuinly works to make it feel even better.
I just made a post a few days ago telling you all how much I loved Portal 1. Well, lately I've managed to get stuck in with the sequel, and I'd like to confirm that it's still utterly brillaint and geniusly designed, even if I'm not enjoying it quite as much as I did the original, though a lot of that may be because the sheer magic of using the portal gun is begining to wear off. However, making comparisons to one of the best games ever is an unfair thing. Rated against the rest of this years' efforts, they hardly stand up. It's magestic. And going to be reviewed in a few days time, so I don't want to use up too many ways to describe it on this silly little blog.
There we have it. Oh, and keep your eyes on KN for lots of reviews over the next few weeks if you like the way I use words. If you don't, it's a lot better on there because I go back and check them, rather than punch them in and leave it as it is. OK, that's all for today. Bye bye everyone.
