More Micro-Reviews!

Here are a couple more micro-reviews to follow up from the other day.

Flight Control HD (PC)
Essentially a port of the iPhone game, Flight Control HD sits at the same addiction level as the casually-hardcore Plants Vs. Zombies. The game is simple to learn and simple to play, although the novelty does wear off much faster than similar games. For about five bucks on Steam, this line-drawing, plane-management game is worth a purchase for casual gamers and the hardcore alike.

Castle Crashers (Xbox 360 Arcade)
This beat'em up game is extremely satisfying, extremely challenging at times, but always fun to play. I love the character progression - leveling up really makes a difference in the later levels, but I am not a fan of item progression - items are found, not purchased, for the most part. I have yet to play the full four-player game, but it certainly seems like it will be a blast. This is a long-tail game if there ever was one.

B3 out.
