It was actually sunny this weekend so I took quirky Game Boy Advance title Boktai out in the garden. This is a game that has a unique light sensor on its cartridge and requires sunlight to play properly. It's not a bad stealth adventure, although it does feel gimmicky. The rainy British climate doesn't help either. But my two big games this weekend were Sudeki and Ico.
I am reviewing Sudeki for this Thursday's Online. Developed by the Climax guys in Portsmouth, this is an action RPG that attempts to mix East (spiky haired characters, convoluted storylines) with West (belting countless baddies around the head). And so far I'm quite enjoying it, even though there isn't enough freedom to stray away from the main storyline - unlike the mighty Morrowind.
Unfortunately for Sudeki I chose this weekend to dig out one of my favourite game ever, Ico. As I said in my blog on Saturday, Ico is a unique experience and essential for anyone interested in videogames. So while Sudeki and Boktai are decent enough titles, this weekend has been dominated by a game over 2 years old.
