Point Blank / Nintendo DS : 3 of 5
9.19.2006 7:03 PM \| Link	I'm always on the lookout for new Nintendo DS games, and sometimes I like games that are kind of quick, mindless and easy - fun to play for five minutes here and there. Point Blank definitely fits that description, since it's basically a kind of target shooting game where you simply tap the touch-screen to fire - there's no aiming or any other controls at all! I've had a lot of fun playing it, especially because there's lots of variety, since each round is a different type of mini-game. There are lots of different things you have to shoot within a specific time limit, like ducks, bees, skeletons, criminals (without hitting the civilians, of course), ninjas, and even fireworks! Some of the games require a little thinking, such as shooting the correct analog clock face to match a digital time (I'm actually pretty slow at that one!). Other games require some real precision, too - even though you're just tapping right on the place you want to hit, accuracy can be really important. You can play in Arcade mode, which picks four or eight games at random for you to complete, or Brain Massage mode, which just plays the same games and gives you a kind of intelligence score (which is pretty dumb). The graphics are really nice on most of the games, but definitely not spectacular - the whole thing seems just a little unpolished, but it's still pretty cool. If you're looking for something fun to play while you're waiting for your microwave dinner, Point Blank could be it! Labels: games
