From the time of Duck Hunt on the NES right up until the latest round of home consoles, the light gun genre has been a staple - especially in the 32-bit Saturn/PlayStation era, where big guns (pun intended) like Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, and House of the Dead enjoyed a lot of success. Sadly, the genre has died a grisly death similar to the ones suffered by so many bullet-magnets throughout its history.
Every now and then, some developer decides that the DS' touch screen is the perfect place to attempt a resurrection. Enter Touch the Dead.
Check out the written review and the video.
"Nintendo’s handheld system has been home to many incredible titles, including some that pushed the boundaries of genres and paved the way for touchscreen gaming. On the flipside, many of the system’s most promising games ultimately failed to live up to expectations and left us feeling a disappointed, underwhelmed, and possibly a little cheated." - GameZone
I really enjoyed 'Hotel Dusk.' It made me nostalgic for the point-and-click PC adventure games of the 90's.
Same here, I really enjoyed that game. The story was good and I loved the film noire style.
Scribblenauts never lived up to the hype for me, I didn't quite get all the praise to The World Ends With You either.
i guess super scribblenauts getting critical acclaim everywhere was bad huh? stupid article
The DS has a sh*tload of great games, albeit, it does have its underwhelming ones also, most being in the form of shovelware. You'd definitely go broke picking up the good games on the system, but you wouldn't do your DS justice by avoiding most of those games.
Hotel Dusk is to date my favourite DS title and is a fantastic game. Its Sequel is also and incredible thought-provoking hand-held title. Both games grip you, I was unable to stop playing both until completion.
"Last Window: The Secret of Cape West", I hope you enjoy it, its a fantastic game. Its a shame the Developers (Cing) filed for Bankruptcy, they knew how to make such great games...
The reason why you probably didn't know that Hotel Dusk had a sequel (called "Last Window") is because it was never released in USA. Only in Japan and Europe.
Sadly, Cing went bankrupt and we'll most likely never get another Kyle Hyde story after Last Window.
