Some of you are probably already aware that my PC is currently in no fit state for games. Bearing this in mind, you can imagine my horror when my Xbox 360 came up with the dreaded 3 red rings of death (oh, the humanity!). For those unfamiliar, the 3 red rings of death on your Xbox 360 basically means you need to call Microsoft customer support to get your Xbox fixed.
It seems the World doesn't want me to play video games (either that, or its a conspiracy from my wife!).
:(
In situations such as this, a lesser man would break down and cry. Not moi! I immediately went out and acquired me a Nintendo Dual Screen Lite! Take that World!
Just goes to prove that you can't keep a good gamer down!
So far, I've mainly been playing Trauma Center: Under the Knife. Haven't got very far but from the little I've played, its a really good game and takes full advantage of the NDS's unique features.
The premise behind this game is that you are a surgeon (the gameplay consists of you performing surgery on different patients). Although it has a story, what really sells the game is the touch screen. Because the entire game is played using the touch screen, it really feels as if you are performing surgery on people. For example, when you cut someone open, you choose the scalpel and then drag your stylus across the area where you need to make the cut.
The tactile feedback you get from using the touch screen just adds another dimension to what would otherwise could have been an ordinary game and really boosts this into a must play (if you own an NDS). Definitely thumbs up!
