#4 MapleStory S.E.A. - PC

Genre : Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
Graphics : 8/10
Storyline : -Not Sure, I didn't really do the quests-

My second ever MMORPG played, the first being Runescape. When I first got an internet connection at home, this was the first game I played. I first tried it out at my friend's home, since it was the hype during those days. Game controls are extremely simple. Directional keys for movement, and the rest are customizable. It features fairly simple game play of a 2D side scroller action game. Interaction with other players make game livelier. The graphics uses simple and bright colours. Catering for younger gamers, the characters as well as monsters in the game are made to appear such that it is suitable for children. Adults get hooked onto the game as well, mainly because of the "challenge" or the interactivity and simplicity of the game. Next review, would be a similar game play but a brand new experience.

#3.1 WTF - PSP

Genre : Minigames
Graphics : 7/10
Storyline : -NA-

No, it is not WHAT THE F***. It stands for Work Time Fun! It is NSFW, Not Safe For Work, by the way. Your boss will most probably sack you for playing when you're supposed to be working. It's basically a game made up of many other mini-games. The mini-games are not of one genre, in a sense, that there are different types of mini-games. Some of them are about timing, precision and accuracy. Some others are about finding the correct information. There's also the memory game, in which they use belching from monsters in a specified order. My personal favourite is the "Bishop's Game".


Yeap, it is what you think it is. The needle will be moving from finger to finger, back and forth continuosly and YOU MUST press the button to poke the needle in between the fingers. If you miss even one of the fingers, you will instantly lose as the game mechanics is created such that if you didn't press after passing over a finger, it will poke through the next nearest finger. The Bishop's Game isn't the only sadistic game there, there's another one where you have to chop firewood. Take your own time to chop, you will lose. Chop the wrong object, you will lose too. Bunnies die a lot in that game.
