It’s that time of year again. Well, actually, it’s not, which is the problem. Traditionally, there’s slim pickings for new games around this time of year. The busiest times for releasing new titles (especially big titles) is normally around Christmas and often over Easter too, but the July-October period is like release death in the UK. Except this year. As well having Bioshock released this week already, there’s fahsands more out between now and the end of November. Before the …

With Touch Detective out of the way, it was time to move on to yet another DS game. And it isn’t exactly what I was expecting… I thought, considering both it’s pedigree and reviews I’ve read, that Rocket Slime was going to be an RPG. But it seems that it isn’t. It’s a sort of arcade adventure with puzzles, not unlike Zelda, but with a little bit of Pokémon mentality chucked in. My character (the big blue slime on the …

After half an hour of searching, and finally resorting to watching the first part of a speedrun on YouTube, I eventually found somewhere I could reach but hadn’t been to yet. And so, I had opened up a huge new area! In fact, my exploration status went from about 65% of the castle, to 102% in this evening’s play. No, that isn’t a mistake – it turns out there are two castles. Cripes. Both are effectively the same layout, but …

Amazing! Three games in three days, after a lapse of a few weeks! I’m still somewhat behind on last year’s game-a-week complete-a-thon (although I didn’t expect to repeat it this year anyway), but at least I’ve caught up a little. There was one more boss, and then after a couple more levels the final end of game boss. He was actually pretty difficult too, mainly due to the speed that the “well” fills up, but also due to his annoying …

Or Pokémon Torouze to you, if you can’t read the Japanese. Yes, I am just showing off that I can type in katakana like on the box. And, despite the Pokémon connection, it’s actually a very good puzzle game. So far, at least. It’s a sort of cross between Zoo Keeper and those slide puzzles. You have the usually puzzle-game-well, which starts partially filled with Pokémon heads. You slide the rows and columns to line up four or more heads, …
