New Star Soccer 3The Sportin' Life | Submitted by costik on Wed, 10/03/2007 - 01:52. |
Okay, I'm going to start with the reasons why you might not like New Star Soccer to get 'em out of the way, so I can then say why this game is, in its own way, exceptionally cool.
1. I'm a Murrican! Fuckin soccer. Do I look gay to you? How bout them Gints?
2. Geez, the graphics look like I'm playing on a NES. If a sports game doesn't look better than the game on TV, is it really a sports game?
Okay. Are we over that? Then onward.
Stoked Rider: Alaska AlienExtreme Snowboarding | Submitted by costik on Tue, 05/22/2007 - 02:32. |
Stoked Rider is a snowboarding game with realistic physics (using Ageia's PhysX engine)--including fluid simulation and avalanches. You roam over a huge space--64 square kilometers of procedurally-created Alaskan moutains. No ski slopes, in other words--just you and the mountain.

In Arctic Stud Poker Run, you tool around a snowy landscape in a snowmobile. You and your opponents start from the same point, and each must end at the finish line, but you aren't constrained to a linear path. At various points in the play area are poker cards, which you can "pick up" by driving through them. When the game ends--after three minutes, that is--the player with the best poker hand who has succeeded in reaching the finish line is the winner.
Lock & Key is a tower defense game. With only one attacker wave. And it's in text.
The premise is that you're a dungeon designer, the one who lays out the arrangement of traps to keep in the extra-specially-dangerous prisoners. You've got a grid of rooms in which you can place these traps, and a limited budget to spend. When you're done, you're taken aside to a guard room with the King to watch as Boldo -- a kind of Tarzan figure gleaming with oiled muscles -- does his best to break out. If he fails, you win. If not, you get to watch Boldo defeating all the traps you so carefully laid out -- and the consequences for you are disastrous. Time to play again.
