Name: Critter Round-Up
Genre: Puzzle
Platform: WiiWare



Critter Round-Up actually sounded interesting the first time I heard about it. Separating animals with remote actions and drawing circles around certain groups of critters sounded like it had potential in terms of being a good puzzle game. This wasn't the case, as I soon found out, and any of my original enthusiasm was soon destroyed. The controller is turned sideways for WiiWare’s first venture into the realm of farming, and shakes of the remote destroy fences that were already built.  Your character, who has an strange resemblance to Stuart Smalley, has to fence similar animal types together, while keeping other types apart. That is where the gameplay ends, that is all there is. Touching an animal, no matter how docile, knocks you down and takes away a life. Later in the game more elements are introduced, such as aggressive critters and ones that can jump over fences, both aspects that serve as frustrations in an already annoying game.

  • Epidemic

    Remember Kileak: The DNA Imperative? One of the first games available for the Playstation when the machine launched in late 1995, Kileak was a rather unimpressive conversion of a Japanese first-person shooter (complete with a storyline that made about as much sense as the Mission: Impossible movie). But it must have sold pretty well - either that or someone at Sony has a soft spot for imported cheese - because US gamers have now been graced with Epidemic, the unofficial sequel to Kileak.
    As with its prequel, Epidemic is a first-person shooter that buckles players inside a giant robot and forces them to wander through miles of generic underground corridors, shooting enemy mechanoids, picking up items, and solving mini-puzzles of the "find an object here and use it there" variety. There are a lot of these so-called puzzles - more than in any other first-person shooter, as far as I can tell - and solving them usually requires exploring every inch of every level to find the needed clues or items. (Fortunately, the player's 'bot is equipped with a well-executed automapping system to keep track of its travels.)
