#6 Holy Invasion of Privacy! Badman! - What did I do to deserve this

Genre : Er, dungeon making, trapping, real-time strategy
Graphics : 10/10
Storyline : You're the EVIL GOD OF DESTRUCTION out to kill HEROES!

Yeah, that's right. It's a VERY long title... VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY... Anyway, opposite to the title, the gameplay is quite short. I believe there are 8 stages to the game. The game is made for the PSP and is made download game ONLY! Anyhow, the game is quite unique in a sense that you are now the 'spawner' of EVIL monsters out to kill heroes. ISN'T THAT AWESOME!?!?!?! OH YEAH!!! 100% We are tasked to create a dungeon of sort, and you have to dig your way through to spawn monster. Also there's an ecosystem kind of a thing which makes the game more challenging. You spawn different type of monsters by digging and also these monsters eat lower type monsters to grow and reproduce. It's all about the strategy. I myself have not been able to completely comprehend this game, even AFTER going through ALL the tutorials. It's about luck, oops, I mean PROBABILITY AND SKILL!!! MAD SKILLZ!!! On a side note, this really IS A GOOD PSP GAME. For it's short but awesome gameplay and replayability!

#5 Dragonica - PC

Genre : Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
Graphics : 8/10
Storyline : Something to do with wolves I guess.

Something similar to Maplestory. It seems that it's picking up quite well. A lof of people are playing it. In fact, someone did managed to get some inspiration from this game and did a GDD for a puzzle game, PSP. As with Maplestory, I didn't get far. The highest I have as of now, is 11? or was it 12. Anyway, the game features the 3D version of maple. Basically, it still has the 4 basic jobs, and at level 20, and 40 you get to have job advancement. The leveling speed is still acceptable. Quest-ing gives a lot of EXP. With some help from friends, you could even power-level. Graphics wise, it is higher standard than Maplestory, since it's 3D and all. The new age of gaming calls for 3D, thus, yeah... I do find one interesting, or rather funny/comical feature in the game. Should you do a certain amount of damage to an enemy, let's say a critical strike, the enemies which actually be thrown off into your screen, and you'll get a glass crack effect on your screen. It's like showing that you're so strong that your attack was able to throw the enemy off the ground. Of course the screen crack feature is nice and new in a sense for an MMORPG. Usually it might be seen in FPS game, with the headshot and all. Recommend to players who are bored of 2D Maple and want to venture into 3D Dragonica.
