Space Invaders: Get Even!

SWATwolf — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 23:19:28 +0800

[center][/center]

Platform: Wii (Wiiware)
Developers: Taito
Publisher: Square-Enix
Release Date: 1st December 2008 (US)
Genre: Shoot'em up
Price: Game itself (500 points), Download Content (3 Packs, 500 points each)

Quote from Wikipedia:

QUOTE

The origins of the game lie with the original classic arcade game Space Invaders. However, Space Invaders Get Even puts a twist on the formula by letting the player control the space invaders themselves.

Breaking away from the gameplay of the original game and its spin-offs, Space Invaders Get Even sees players piloting the invader's UFO across a landscape rendered in 3D graphics, which encompasses areas such as cities, deserts, forests, oceans and military bases. By downloading extra stages, players will also be given the option to swap out the UFO in the game with ships from the Darius and RayForce series of Taito shoot 'em ups, as well as a polygonal version of the "classic" UFO from Space Invaders.

Players move the UFO with the analog stick of the Nunchuk, and then use the pointer function of the Wii Remote to direct a swarm of up to 100 invaders in blowing up buildings and destroying the defending forces of Earth, with continuing destruction increasing the time available to the player. The invaders, which are rendered as flat, glowing two dimensional sprites which resemble the invaders in the original game, can utilize a number of attack formations to dispatch enemies, including forming a drill-like formation to bore into them or crushing them by bouncing on top of them from above.[4] Upon eliminating all opposition in the stage, which includes fighter jets, helicopter gunships and gunboats, the player must then take on a large boss, which include a giant tank, mecha and a huge battleship.

The game will also feature online leaderboards.

Tales of Hearts

SWATwolf — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:02:16 +0800

Since the previous Tales of Hearts thread basically have negative post.
I'm here to proof that thread starter WRONG!

Quoted from IGN:

QUOTE

Namco is getting set to answer that age-old question: which is better, CG or anime? In Japan, Tales series fans will get to make their choice by buying one of two versions of Tales of Hearts. The upcoming DS entry in the series will be released in two forms. One form will have anime movies as produced by Production I.G. The other form will have CG movies as produced by Shirogumi. Aside from the changes to the movies, the in-game content will be exactly the same. You can get a glimpse at the changes for yourself by browsing the Tales of Hearts website. When opening up the site, you'll have to select between a preference for either the anime or CG version. The artwork on the site changes accordingly. Both versions of Tales of Hearts will hit Japan in December. Outside of Japan, Namco has yet to announce its plans for the title. We'll have to wait and see if we'll be given a similar choice, or if we'll have one particular animation style forced on us.

Which will you CHOOSE?

CG or ANIME???!!!11

Wannabe a Mac Owner

SWATwolf — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:40:48 +0800

I wanna own a Mac. So badly.
but I just cant find a cheap way for a student like me to afford a good mac desktop.

My budget is actually roughly 6k. (being saving like forever! )
I'm a animation student. I wanna do surfing, doing my works, playing some games and also using the lcd to playing video games like ps3 and wii.

As far as I know, using the lcd on iMac to play video games are quite impossible.
And Mac Pro is really expensive.
Since 32" HDTV now are around RM2K for now. So I plan to get a HDTV. and now left a CPU powered by MAC.
As far as I know myself, I dun really have much choice but to go for a Mac Mini, which it doesnt have a graphic card at all.

Anyone have any other great suggestion? Thank you very much once again.
