Let's do the twist

'r' picked up Warioware: Twisted and brought it along for the weekly game night. It's pretty fun. It's amazing how many little variations they packed around the simple idea of rotating your gameboy. It's just about as addictive as the original and certainly a lot more interactive. I've messed around a little with Touched on the DS and I'd say Twisted fares a little better. It seems a little more intuitive. Quite the franchise they're building on the ol' microgame front.

It's funny, at first glance you'd think Warioware is a game just about anybody could get into. But it's not really true. While the microgames are certainly simple enough, the speedy nature actually gears them more for people who grew up playing games. Gamers can recognize certain scenarios easier and thus make it through the microgames where non-gamers can't. <shrug> Random thoughts...

And tomorrow the folks show up for a week. Updating may be a bit scattered.
