Re: Nintendo 3DS
Well, of what's out there, I feel I got most of the best of the launch.
Dunno what's up with the Samurai Warriors reviews, well, aside from it sounding like angsty interns wrote them. I just started playing it a little while ago and for the most part its the kind of thing I remember Warrior's games being. I suppose my only issues with it are that this one wants to run real-time text on the top screen during the action - this seems to be a recurring problem with the series - and that's just easy to miss when you're busy hacking and slashing away.
Some say the fact there are fewer enemies on the screen is bad. Well, I can get about ten or fifteen on at a time. I dunno if I need to see 30 or 40 people there.
Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars isn't going to blow you away with its graphics, generic characters (we're talking GI Joe generic here) story or 3D effects, but aside from that, you have a extremely solid strategy title going on there. Yeah, its not a tactical team shooter, but more of a SRPG this time out - and in this regard, its taken a lot of good notes from the likes of Advance Wars and other stars of the genre.
As for Super Street Fighter IV - I'm in love with it. I hadn't played a lot of the console versions, but the "Lite" mode was a good starting point for me and now I've moved into "Pro" mode since I've been taking Chun Li through training and I can do most of her move set now.
Lite Mode is puts Ultras, Supers and EX moves into shortcuts on the touch screen. This can be used online, but people using it can be filtered out - and you'll want to filter them out because it pretty much turns everyone into a Ken flowchart
Once I got skewered by a few Cammys that just spammed Spiral arrow and Cannon Spike, I went to training to learn to go without and slapped the filter on Lite users.
Then I met a fellow named "THE RAPE" who liked playing Ryu. Suffice to say he got pummeled just about every time. He was a good sparring partner though and I got a rank-up off him. He was using Ryu's light low kicks a lot for some reason and I don't think he knew EX attacks cut through normal Hadokens.
So SSFIV is my favorite so far.
I've heard a lot of favorable things about Ridge Racer this time out, but I've always been fickle with racing games. I know in three days the interest would die no matter how good it was.
