Operation Vietnam (DS): An OK Shooter for a Cheap Price

Monday, December 21st, 2009

There are some games which are totally based on a storyline and Operation Vietnam is one of them. The story starts as four men gets lost in a jungle and would have to get them out of the situation. The four men are loaded with some guns and grenades and some occasional air strikes. You will take guard of some stranded soldiers who are struck in the middle of the Vietnam War. You will have to make sure that they reach home in one piece.

You will have to fight against the enemy forces. The visuals of the game are not that good. The game is an action packed game and is provided in a top down perspective. The action is not very fast paced and you can play with a strategy. In the Operation Vietnam game you begin as a Sarge who is a lone soldier who is stranded with a rapid fire gun. You will have to find three companions and rescue them immediately. These three companions have actually crashed behind the very dangerous enemy lines in a Vietnamese jungle. One of those people is a doctor and he has the ability to heal a soldier. The game Operation Vietnam is about managing your multiple men in the best possible way.

The controls of the game are pretty difficult to understand and you will have to practice a lot to get a hang of things. The entire game is based on the strategy. The gameplay is the best part in this game.

Viva Pinata - Pocket Paradise (DS): Create your own Beautiful Garden

Monday, December 21st, 2009

The Viva Pinata - Pocket Paradise is one of the most engaging games available for the handheld Nintendo DS. The main motive of the game is to attract pinatas in your garden that is actually based on your level and the animals and plants that are currently present on your land. The most interesting part of the game is that you will never know that what will attract a pinata. Hence you will have to overhaul your land in order to attract a pinata. The controls are just fantastic and the developer has made immaculate use of the touch screen controls of the gaming console.

Sweeping around the garden is a very easy job and you will have to continuously clean the garden in order to attract pinatas. On the other hand, you can easily plant bushes as well. You can also buy some tools for your garden from the store. Using the tool you can easily mould the garden according to the preference. The controls in the Viva Pinata - Pocket Paradise game are better than most other Nintendo DS games. The game is pretty easy in the beginning but once you move to a higher level it becomes pretty difficult. In the higher levels of this game you will have to completely overhaul your garden quite frequently.

Each and every pinata has a different requirement and identifying the requirement is the most difficult job. The game is very addictive and is a good way to pass time. The graphics of this game are average but the gameplay is fantastic.
