Game Review: Dungeon Defenders

     This was a nice surprising mix of tower defense and Rpg. The beginner suggestion for a character is a mage so that's what I've played so far. The tower defence part is relatively simplistic yet functional you build defences to keep the enemy horde, coming from almost all angles I might add, at bay. Your character can cast it's attack to help ward off the ones that get past the defences. It's a quick learn and honestly you can build up your weaponry and defences rather quickly. The challenge here is that some enemies are immune to certain attacks thus you need supporting towers. The waves go from simplistic to Psychotic from 20 badguys of about the same type to hordes of all sizes.

     For a playstation network game this was a surprising joy as the game is easily picked up unlike some of their other titles which if you're not used to the game you have a hard time understanding how the flow of the game works. This game isn't completely based on skill alone if you can build up your attack as well as your abilities the strategic gameplay isn't completely necesary. Also the vice versa is true as well. you can build up the tower stats which share your stats and do just as well. I tend to play down the middle and alot of the pick ups you find give you a great chance to up your attacks and defences as part of the armor bonuses.

Game Review: Cartoon Network Punchtime Explosion EX

     Given the licencing for some of these characters I'm supprised they didn't expand this further. I read about the Nintendo DS version and hoped it would translate well to a console. If you've played and enjoyed Super Smash Brothers you'll find this comfortable. There's a lacking here where you could have gone really overboard with some awesome battles by adding characters such as Gumball, Generator Rex, Johnny Test, and several others. Your tride and true characters are represented to a limit. You got Johnny Bravo, Grim, Codename Kids Next Door, Billy and Mandy, Blue and Mac, the powerpuff girls, Dexters Lab, Samurai Jack and Ben 10 characters. Personally they got some good and some bad. The balance is off and honestly this game could be so much more.
