Majesco Entertainment
Company, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced Marker Man Adventures for Nintendo DS. Developed by Glyphic Entertainment, this unique game based on drawing and physics challenges players to maneuver the charming stick figure, Marker Man, through 150 scrolling world puzzles in his attempt to find his best friend, Doodle Dog.
Players use the Touch Screen and stylus to draw geometric
shapes-including lines, circles, boxes, triangles and pivot points-to
create simple machines that help Marker Man advance through levels from
point A to point B. Gamers use logic and can collect power-ups to help
solve intricate themed puzzles set in underwater, outer space and ice
environments, among others. Three difficulty modes and hidden areas within each level present unique surprises throughout Marker Man's quest to reunite with Doodle Dog.
The Game Guys have officially opened up voting for the 2nd Annual Game Guys' Gamers' Choice Awards. Everybody who votes is entered into a contest to win one of five system-specific prize packs. Each prize pack contains two system-specific games and one accessory, except for the PC prize pack which contains three PC games.
Is it sad that I care less about the actual voting than I do winning the free games?
Not all games are created equal: Some are gems, some are turkeys. Here's a quartet of turkey titles to avoid like that fruitcake your great aunt's gonna give you for Christmas.
That's a really tame list. Haven't heard of 3 of them, and didn't know the 4th was getting a PS2 port. Where's the undisputed turd of the year, "Tony Hawk: Ride"?
Why pick shovelware to put on this list? Put big name turkeys like WET or Ninja Blade
i thought this game might be fun, like drawn to life.
i thought you could draw stuff and it would stay, but it doesn't. it falls to the ground, plus you can only draw basic shapes and you can't pick them up either. need a stair case? have fun drawling tons of squares and drawling them so they fall on each other in the right way.
Game Guys writes: "Anyone who remembers Mario Paint on the Super Nintendo system knows painting or drawing on a game system is hard. But if done right though it could be tons of fun.
Marker Man Adventures tries to turn the stylus into a doodle pad and game but it misses the mark."
