Rising Star Games has released two new Nintendo DS titles in North America: Cradle of Persia and To-Fu Collection. The games are now available at North American retailers and offer a casual gameplay experience for players.
"Today you've decided to try out a recipe for a new dessert. Serving one of these to your guest, you watch in satisfaction as their face lights up. 'You're a natural,' they remark -- a natural who wisely doesn't let on that the recipe isn't in fact an original creation, but was torn out from last week's newspaper." -- Wiiloveit.com
"Rather than choosing to distinguish theme apart from character, some games choose to blend both these elements together, often with subtlety in view. Endeavouring to produce this harmony, outward qualities of one or more star characters are at times reflected in the game's design to a point where the concept becomes a full-fledged entity in itself. This is more or less what HotGen has strived for with To-Fu Collection, a DS port of two original iOS titles: To-Fu: Trials of Chi and its sequel, To-Fu 2. Unfortunately, while there is good intent to be mentioned in the same breath as its conventional approach, the game's level of transparency makes it hard to participate with activity and satisfaction." -- Wiiloveit.com
currierox says: "I learned two very interesting things about To-Fu while playing this game, I’m sure many will argue against me about the legitimacy of either of them but if you give this title a go then you will defend these things about To-fu as well. Number one: if left idling long enough a To-Fu will sneeze. Number two: To-Fu has a skeleton (stumbled upon this by accident when allowing To-Fu to make contact with a laser beam; he/she/it wasn’t very amused)."
