American Geography Game

Posted on February 11, 2007

50 States is a game that tests your knowledge of American geography.  It’s a good brain exercise, so try to overlook the drabby colors.  And the fact that Hawai`i and Alaska are floating in the middle of an ocean that seems to be missing South and Central America.

Amazon Deals: GBA Version

Posted on February 10, 2007

Pokemon: Fire Red Version is selling for just about $20 at Amazon. You could probably find it cheaper at the nearest Gamestop (and used, nonetheless), but those who like everything shiny, new, and Pokemon, this is a pretty good deal.

Yes, Pokemon is old and some people think it’s cheesy, but I’ve always enjoyed the RPG formula. And Fire Red is based on the original Pokemon to boot, so you can relive the glory days of the Gameboy with your GBA. Or DS. Whichever.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is also just under $20.  The most impressive part of Chain of Memories is the cutscenes.  They look as if they came off of the PS one themselves because they were rendered so nicely.

The gameplay is card-based.  Attacks can be combined using different cards that Sora, Donald, Goofy and the other playable characters have.  While the idea is neat, it does get to be a little like a glorified game of War.  But if you finished KH and KH2 on the PS2, this might be a good investment.  This somewhat links the two games together.

Note that I get a little commission if you choose to buy one of the games after clicking through the link.

Double Wires: Stick person manipulation

Posted on February 6, 2007

Double Wires is one of those strange physics-based games that require you to manipulate a stick person to do something odd and useless. There’s really no point to the game besides getting your stick person from point A to point B.

Of course, as with many other games of this kind, Wires is extremely addictive. Since you’re basically just trying to beat yourself, there’s no limit to how many times you play. You won’t get bored, especially if your one of those people who just know you can do better next time. Which, of course, seems to be the personality type that defines gamers.

There’s also something oddly disturbing about the level enjoyment we get out of making this poor, hapless figure jump around with his wires at the mercy of our mouse clicks. Enjoy!
