Meteos / Nintendo DS : 4 of 5
4.03.2007 12:55 PM \| Link	I've been having trouble keeping all my hobbies in balance lately, so my poor Nintendo DS and Wii have been getting lonely. I finally started making some time the past few days to play some games, though, and I since I felt like playing something I could get into quickly, I decided to give Meteos (which I got for Christmas) a workout! This is a really old Nintendo DS game, but if you read anything about it, you'll quickly see that it's a classic that everyone likes. Meteos is a great variation on the usual falling-block game, and the object is to get three blocks of the same kind in a row so they "launch" into the sky. The trick is you can only move blocks vertically, which took a while for me to get used to. The game has a really cool science-fiction style to it, including playing the game on various "planets" (which provides a lot of variation, since the block launching may work differently on planets with unusual gravity and so on). I really like the Star Trip mode, which lets you progress from planet to planet, and it's also fun to unlock different things, based on the number of the various types of blocks you've launched. Along with the fun gameplay, the game has some cool graphics, sounds, and different music for different planets. Meteos is definitely a game with tons of replay possibilities, and it's great for getting a five-minute DS fix here and there. Ah, it feels good to play something again - I'll have to move on to another game soon! Labels: games, nintendo ds
