FIG = Floating Island Game

In this game you don’t control the main character.  He just walks forward until he hits a wall (in which case he turns around),  meets his doom or you can intervene help guide him to the goal.  The thing is, you don’t actually control the main character at all.  What you do is click on the world around him and find things to try and collect stars in the levels and then make it safely to the goal.  It’s lots of fun and not to challenging.  Although it does take some good timing to get the right clicks.

It’s got quite a few levels to keep you interested and on top of the regular stars to collect, there are blue stars hidden on every level too.  Get them all and unlock the secret stages.

Good concept, cute art style and lots of fun in my books.  I highly recommend FIG.  You can go and get it here

It would seem that some DS games want to skirt the line between sexy and down right naughty.  Take the game LOVEru for example.  There is a mini game where you have squirt milk on to a strawberry that the main female character is holding.

You read that right.  Squirt the milk on to the strawberry…  If that’s not suggestive in anyway possible that I’ll eat my DS.

So there you go.  Japan has, on the DS, sexy witch touching games where you can touch boobs and bums, a sexy English training game and sexy “milk” squirting mini games.

Man I love Japan ^_^

I got’em, you got’em.

Games you wish you never bought.  Games you thought where going to be great or at least half decent and when you finally got it home, tore in to the box and slammed it in to you’re console/pc it wasn’t long before you realized you’ve been duped.

Me?  I bought Crusin USA for the 64.  Yeah, yeah… I enjoyed the arcade machine but man the home version just didn’t live up.  I hate that feeling of of dumb you get after you buy a bad game.  Needless to say I ended up trading it in for Turok.  I was much happier after that.

Let’s see… I remember getting Super Mario Land 2 hand being very disappointed.  To me the game just wasn’t fun and I thought that the bunny ears where just stupid.  I finished it but never played it again.  I think I traded it to a friends little sister for Super Mario Land which, I think, is much better.

What game duds do you have in your collection?

Write a one sentence game review. (you can do more then one)

Crazy Taxi – Quite possibly the best player vs the clock game ever made.

Mega Man 2 – The best example of turning a mediocre title in to a truly classic game by expanding and improving on everything in the prequel, but keeping game play exactly the same.

Shadow of the Colossus – So beautifully crafted and designed it became an instant classic before it was even released.

People will find a way to do so.

I remember hearing about how the first thing that people new with a new piece of technology is figure out how to do naughty or sexy things with it.

So true.

The most current example I’ve seen is in Soul Caliber 4’s character creator.  Leave it to perv-o’s around the world to not only begin to make sexy maid characters to fight with but pose them around for sexy shots.

Ahhhh…  This kind of thing makes me smile.  Why?  Because it just shows that sex is more apart of us then what most like to believe or want to believe.  Sexiness  is fun and should be fun, it’s a shame that there are people out there that look down on this kind of thing.

Way to go perv-o’s.  Way to help keep the world sexy ^_^
