Rhythm Heaven is a collection of rhythm based minigames, like playing table tennis according to the rhythm of a song.
Rhythm Heaven (DS) – I just started playing this game and I’m having a total blast. It’s so wacky and hilarious that I can’t help but love it. Unfortunately for me, the game really is about rhythm and my rhythm is terrible. I started writing about it here, but then realized I could write enough about it to give it its own impressions article. I will instead post it next week to give it its proper spotlight.
Halo Wars – Been spending most of my time on the multiplayer aspect of the game lately. What’s funny is that I’m discovering that 2v2 is the most difficult of the three types. Right now I’m 10 and 2 for 1v1 and I think I’m in the positive for 3v3, but I’m practically losing every 2v2 game I play in. I feel like for 1v1 I have a good feel for counters and strategy, so I can pretty much hold on my own against anyone, and 3v3 is usually about just massing. But 2v2 is a different beast altogether, because it incorporates some gameplay from both 1v1 and 3v3, but not completely so it’s difficult to figure out what to build. Plus it seems like all the good players are playing 2v2 or something! Oh well…I’m sure I’ll get better as I continue to play.
Ace Combat 6 -Oldie but I finally broke it out of its shrinkwrap since I was slightly interested in Tom Clancy’s HAWX game and told myself that I can’t pick that up until I at least beat Ace Combat 6. For those wondering, it very much is more of the same as its PS2 predecessors, for better of worse. I’ll get some detailed impressions out on it soon.
Street Fighter IV -Started tearing my way through the Challenges and playing my brother of and off. What’s interesting is that I’m starting to play other characters more nowadays, and I’m even starting to feel like Sagat is getting boring after coming back to him. But who knows how serious I’ll really get into this game. Still, I figure being able to use other characters will also at least allow me to get better at Street Fighter IV overall, since I’ll know more about how each character fights. I’m surprised though that I’ve almost logged 50 hours. The game is really good and keeps me coming back. That’s really rare for a fighting game these days.
