Get Lost in the Mazes of Fate on the DS Lite

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Mazes of Fate DS can, with all due respect, be described as a somewhat mediocre 3D version of the more popular and well animated Game Boy Advance game of the same name. The story is also more or less the same. It is just that now there are four more additional characters to choose from instead of the original three. The game, which is basically a dungeon crawler, starts with the story of gods and humans. The gods are unhappy that the humans have started neglecting them and plan on replacing them with a more submissive species. (more…)

Jump and Defend like a ninja with ‘N+’

Friday, September 19th, 2008

In this game called N+ you play as the guide for a bell-bottom clad ninja, as he passes challenging obstacles in a bid to get to the all important exit. In the process he has to activate a swath of switches and face multiple encounters. He has a rich repertoire of moves at his disposal to confront his foes, including a wall jump, a wall slide, and the ability to sprint up and down inclines. However, he isn’t your typical sword swinging ninja like in Naruto: Ninja Council, because he completely lacks a sword, and can’t double jump either. You are faced with the difficult task of guiding the ninja through a continuous maze of cunningly laid mines and electrified blue orbs in each level. There will also be missiles and projectiles aimed at your character with pin point precision. (more…)
