2 New DS Games

A couple of days ago I decided to check out some of the newer releases for the Nintendo DS. I've been wanting to play an all around fun game. So I went online to took a look at some new releases and to see how well they did. One game that I was going to get, no matter what the reviews said about it, was Spore. I figured what the hell, wanted to see what the hype was all about. I know that the popularity was more for the computer version, since it is more expansive and is graphically better, but still, I wanted to at least check it out for the hand-held. Pretty glad that I did. It is a decent game, one that I know that I will put alot of time into. Now I'm not a simulation type gamer at all. In fact it is something that I usually avoid, mostly because it involves way to much time. The developer of this game is the same that did the hugely popular Sims games. Again those games I never touched and may never will, because of the whole simulation thing. Spore on the other hand is something that I found interesting even back four years ago when they first started to talk about it. The whole concept of beginning as a single cell organism or small creature, and then evolving into a full-blown huge ass creature, is something that I found pretty cool. Mostly because as you evolve you help other creatures evolve as well. And you develop relationships with them too. I can't really give a detailed description as to the whole concept of the game, mostly because I've only played it for an hour or so. But I can tell you is that as you progress through the game you take over land, sea, planets, and then eventually the whole universe (at least I think). So yeah, I'm liking the idea of this game and the originality of it. Hope to maybe do a detailed review of it either here or on my YouTube channel.

Okay, the other game that I got, and the one that I'm already addicted to is N+. This game is simple in both theory and in the real gaming world. It takes you back to the old school days, when things seemed simple. The game itself as far as difficulty goes, is not simple...it can be a challenge, which is always great. So, to give you a little background about this game, you play as a Ninja whose goal is to simply collect gold pieces without getting killed by. Killed either by booby traps i.e given land mines, a target who follows your movements and fires a missile when you cross its path, and other common stuff like falling from a far distance to the ground. This game is a 2-D scroller, the type that I love. It has been on X-Box live before and was popular with that platform as well. I've already gotten through 9 episodes (episodes is basically levels), and can honestly say that is worth the 20 bucks I spent on it. This type of game in my opinion is best for hand-held devices. You know, best for pick-up and play anytime type of thing. Plus the replay value is going to be great as well. I hope to do a review either on here or on YouTube of this game as well, so be on the look out for that.

Overall I am pretty happy with both games, would recommend them both. Well, I guess I should get back to work.

Take care everybody and as always, thanks for reading!
