What I'm Playing - 4/8/08

By espiox August 4, 2008 2 Comments

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 - The first week of the "Summer of Arcade" is a real doozy. Geo Wars 2 takes the first game and adds 5 new modes (plus an updated version of the original game) and multiplayer. My favorite new mode is probably Pacifism at the moment, but all the modes are so damn good. The achievements are fun to get too. What I really love about Geo Wars 2 is how tightly the leaderboards are tied to the game. Seeing my friends' scores* right there brings back memories of arcade machines.

Rhythm Tengoku Gold - I only just got this today, so this is more of a first impression than a review. Fans of Rhythm Tengoku will know exactly what to expect here. It retains the feel of the first game, but adds a load more games and unlockable toys. My one concern with the game right now is a relatively minor one: some of these games might work better with buttons rather than the touch screen. I'll post more next week.

Densetsu no Stafi 3 - Again, I just got it today. Seems like a neat little platformer, but I want to play some more before I cast any judgement.

and last but not least, I'm replaying Uncharted to get some more trophies for my PSN account.

*Actually, that should be singular, since DuckofDoom is the only guy I know with the game. Damn you and your high score Duck, taunting me from the top right!
