Although I need another 3DS game like I need an extra hole in the head ...

... I'm still considering picking up Nintendo's Tokyo Crash Mobs, which hit the 3DS eShop this past Thursday.

Why? I tend to like puzzlers, for starters. Also, I've barely spent any time with the Magnetica/Puzzloop series on which Tokyo Crash Mobs seems to be based.



Oh, and then there are Grace's "bitch stare" and Savannah's "hair twirl" that can be seen near the beginning of the video above. (A proper trailer for the game can be seen here, by the way.)

Have any of you picked up this $6.99 title since its release? If so, what do you think of it so far? Also, would you recommend I follow in your footsteps sometime soon, or should I steer clear of it?

    Personally, I thought the game looked like Zuma, but with people. Sounds fun, but not $7 fun for me.

  2. Isn't Zuma just a Magnetica/Puzzloop ripoff, though? Regardless, I see what you mean :) I still may pick it up, though--along with Crimson Shroud and Crashmo.

  3. I logged just to suggest something I see you're already lookig for. If you like puzzle games I higly suggest Pullblox (YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET????) or Fallblox (which scared me, it seems too difficult and from what I heard it's a bit more difficult than the first one). Crimson Shroud was my most played in November with about 18 hours played (on 2 playthroughs), a great game which successfully brought in digital form the magic of dice-shaking, the story is both interesting and pointless but overall I really enjoyed the story, and the gameplay, and the whole game. #BrokenEnglishPerfectlyWritten
    Oh, you wanted a more concise sentence? Well... fuck Tokio Crush Mobs.

  4. Hey there, Giuda! Oh, I've had Pushmo (aka Pullblox) for ages. Spent a good amount of time with it, too, although I've yet to beat it. I haven't picked up Crashmo yet, but I likely will do so soon-ish.


    I'm really excited about trying Crimson Shroud, by the way. I have no experience whatsoever with table-top RPGs, but I'm curious about this one all the same.


    It certainly sounds great that you've played your copy for a whopping 18 hours so far. I guess that means you really like it, eh?

  5. Except, you know, Crimson Shroud was released in DECEMBER and it's my most played in December. #corrections

  6. That's it, Giuda! No more comments for you!!


    Ha ha, just kidding. November, December ... they're practically the same damn month, right? ;)

  7. I like to be picky and precise, December is not November (lol).

  8. Really? You could have fooled me! Of course, here in Seattle, October, November, December, January, February, March, April and May (and sometimes June) all look/feel the same :P
