C74 — Tokkyu Tenshi Impressions

August 16th, 2008

Yes, let us press any key. This one is pretty much exactly as expected, though a little heavier on the system resources than I’d have liked. My laptop grinds this one along as a stellar 30 FPS. The desktop handles it alright though. Anyway, you run along and ‘compete’ with the idiot AI, collecting gems, bouncing off of crap (and the AI) and occasionally throw giant fish at eachother. It’s nothing complex and your AI running buddy is simply terrible, so like many of EGS’ games, it’s probably best enjoyed with a friend. There are a wide variety of items to use against eachother, but mostly just variations on Mario Kart items. The hazards can get a little… dumb at times. I had no idea I had stepped on an oil patch until I was careening out of control into a wall. It looked like just another shadow to me. Not that bad from what I’ve played, but nowhere as nicely done as Recettear or Gunner’s Heart.

Subterranean Animism Released — Hide the Plutonium

August 16th, 2008

Yes yes yes, I know about the nuclear loli, the girl that guards the gates of hell, cerberus-loli, love-power heart bullet extra boss, and of course, Sanae. As much as I’d love to play, it’s 1:00am and freaking 95 degrees here somehow, which means that I’m posting this and getting as far away from my heat belching laptop as possible. I’m sure someone will have completely run through the game on Lunatic and Extra by the time I wake up… hopefully not drenched in my own sweat.

If you’re really bored, you can watch screenshot compilations set to annoying music. Hooray!
