2003 sees one of the better Tokyo Game Show line-ups in recent history. A number of high-profile companies have saved some of their big titles for announcement at the show, giving a distinctly fresh feel to proceedings. Here are our impressions of the things we saw and played. Please understand that some of the games we played are not complete yet, so things could change between the playable versions at the show and the versions that get released.

The Scientists’ Games of the Year 2003

By admin | March 13, 2010

DCharlie’s choice:
kotor
Knights of the Old Republic
It’s difficult to find something to say that hasn’t been said about KotOR already. KotOR single-handedly resurrected any interest in the Star Wars series for this particular player, as well as telling a more compelling story than those found in the new films, and introducing a new star into the Star Wars realm in the form of HK-47, taking a more sinister and psychotic angle to humour. Atmosphere-wise, the game has the Star Wars style blasters and lightsabers that fans of the series know and love, but one of the great attractions is the ability to use Jedi powers for good… or evil. The game itself has a couple of
twists, and remains interesting from start to finish, giving the player the implicit choice of which side of the force to bat for. Read the rest of this entry »

The Scientists’ Games of the Year 2004

By admin | March 8, 2010

CVXFREAK’s choice:
oni3
Onimusha 3
This was a blast to play. The fully 3D graphics engine is beautiful, and the game played faster and smoother than the previous Onimusha games. The Paris-time travel dynamic worked out well, adding up to a long, enjoyable experience. There’s plenty to unlock and replay value is decent. The game is easily more accessible than its predecessors. The voice acting is decent, the movie direction is fantastic and Jean Reno isn’t in the very least distracting or out of place.

Mawaru Made in Wario

By admin | March 8, 2010

The original Made in Wario was like a breath of fresh air. Best described as
gaming for A.D.D. sufferers, the unusual yet well implemented action "party game" caused quite a stir. This week saw the release of Mawaru Made in Wario, which takes the premise of the original and offers an interesting twist… literally.

Mawaru Made in Wario makes use of a position sensitive cartridge which means that the game can detect movement when you turn your GBA. It must be clarified hat this works by physically turning the GBA so that you are rotating it from its original position, not physically rotating yourself or merely tilting the GBA.
