Hotel Dusk

http://www.hoteldusk.com/




Hotel Dusk is a great site that takes you through the game made for Nintendo! The site takes you through the story and what the game is about. Clicking on the paper clips inside the book the user can learn about the characters, the hotel and how the game will work with the new pen included with the Nintendo. There is also a page where the user can download wallpapers for their computer. The graphics are really good and have a unique feel and although the interaction is limited i think its a great way to promote the game!

Sissy Fight

http://www.sissyfight.com/





SissyFight is a game/chat room were users play as school girls fighting strategically on a play ground. The user can choose the name, face and hair style for their fighter and use it to earn points fighting on the playground. With options like: scratch, tease and cower, sissy fight gives several options to keep the user entertained. Users use the chat room part of the game to make friends and gang up on others in order to have a bigger chance in winning. The site is full of regulars. Teams are formed and things get very competitive which makes it harder for new members. I really liked playing sissyfight but it does take time to actually get in a fight, most people want to wait for the room to get full in order to earn more points by beating up more people. Leader boards such as 'most points' and 'most addicted' keep people going back and making their fighter earn more points.

Line Rider & Draw Play

Line Rider

In Line Rider the user is instructed to draw a line from top left to bottom right. Once pressed 'done' the rider rides along the line that the user drew. I really like this game, the fact the user has to think about the lines and how steep to draw them makes the game more fun. The rider easily falls and gains speed in places where the lines are drawn straight and downwards.


Draw Play

Draw Play, similar to Line Rider but with more meaning as you have get the little man to the flag by drawing lines with your mouse. Draw Play uses the same style as Line Rider by keeping it simple, like the pencil on paper design. The user uses the mouse to draw thick black lines on the screen, the little man is then able to walk across these lines in order for him to reach the flag. The user can control the man using the arrow keys allowing him to jump and walk left and right. The man is able to fall off and screams which is funny, he cant jump far but the levels are easy enough for you to experiment with the lines. As the levels go on you are faced with several obstacles, the user has to start again once an obstacle is hit and there is never no game over so you can just keep on going. The music is very techno like, too fast for the actual pace of the game. No score is kept and you are not told how many levels there are so there is no real goal.
