Review:- Animal Crossing New Leaf

AnimalCrossingNewLeafNABoxart[1]Game: Animal Crossing New Leaf
Format: 3DS
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

You’re minding your own business, sat alone on a train happily watching the world pass by when out of nowhere a strange looking cat proceeds to talk to you. Yes, a talking cat. With wide eyes and a strange incomprehensible yet charmingly sweet accent of gibberish you’re asked to divulge almost every detail about who you are, where you’re going, how you feel…

As strange as it may sound, this line of questioning – and possible attempt of identity theft by a talking cat – merely serves as an opening introduction, forming the look of your character based upon your answers, and subtly dipping your toes into what will soon come to pass as you start on your journey as the new mayor of your very own town.

Review:- The Walking Dead: 400 Days

Walking Dead 400 daysGame: The Walking Dead: 400 Days
Format: Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, PC, Mac, iOS
Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games

I was certainly not the only person to be impressed with, and affected by, Telltale Games’ episodic series The Walking Dead last year. It featured on many “Best of” lists, and justifiably so; the writing alone makes it stand out to me like few games ever have. Now, in advance of the next season (a date for which has not yet been announced), the developer has released 400 Days, a single-episode add-on intended to bridge the gap between the first and second runs.

Mechanically, nothing has changed. If you played the original series (and if you haven’t, you’re probably not playing this particular episode anyway), then the controls will be familiar. There’s some third-person movement and a few quick-time events, but overall, the dialogue choices are the focus. You will still encounter many sets of choices with the familiar time bar that shrinks as you ponder which is best—or, more likely, which is the least terrible. (more…)
