Wired on the only interesting DS game (k3nshi)

"Indeed, for something that doesn't even seem like normal "game," it's weirdly addictive. The math questions had me so frazzled that I emotionally regressed to about age ten. Brain Age also includes a Stroop test, which flashes the names of colors on screen in mismatched ink -- for example, the word "blue" printed in red -- and challenges you to name the color of the ink. As any psychologist will tell you, you can keep a lid on things for the first dozen words, but then your brain turns to jelly."

Geometry Wars on OSX and PC (k3nshi)

Well not quite, but the next best thing is Grid Wars.

Some points to note:

  • Its written in Blitz Max so there are builds for Windows and OSX
  • My gamecube-usb adaptor works perfectly on my iMac
  • My best reason for wanting an Xbox 360 just went bye-bye!
  • Grid Wars is free

MS and the producers of Geometry Wars just lost HARD IN THE FACE.

Thanks to Pow for the heads up on this.
