I’ve Got Pokémon Fever Again
By Shaun Hatton - May 7th, 2008
Nintendo was nice enough to send over a Pokémon care package this weekend. I’ve started to play Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time for Nintendo DS and I gotta say, I’m once again hooked on Pokémon. Sure, I’m pushing 30 but who cares? So far the game’s been nothing but fun and even good for a few laughs. Adam’s reviewing its counterpart title, Explorers of Darkness, but I don’t believe he’s gotten too far into it yet.
What I like best about Pokémon titles is that despite their cute and cuddly exterior, the game mechanics are actually in-depth and they feature a tonne of colourful characters. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that the franchise’s flagship titles have you training cute little animals to beat the crap out of each other until they nearly faint (with the secondary intent to collect at least one of each type). Very strange, indeed.
Between this game, Mario Kart Wii, Condemned 2, GTA IV, and several others, it looks like I’ll be busy for quite a while longer.

2 responses so far:My DS is still packed away from the move. It looks like I will be exploring my own lil “Mystery Dungeon” in the basement, to find where I packed it away.

I can think of a few other things that “Mystery Dungeon” would be a euphemism for. Glad you kept it classy instead of assy.
