Darklord Battle Zengage Spots
by Sarah

After making an appearance on the European WiiWare last Friday, Square Enix's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord hits North American Wiis today. There are two other WiiWare games and another Art Style installment hitting DSiWare. I guess that's better than a clock, right? And for the Virtual Console... wait, where are the Virtual Console games? That's strange. Well, you didn't really want VC games anyway, right?![]()

FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord
Players: 1
1,000 Wii Points
Step into the royal shoes of the Darklord's daughter as she installs traps and monsters inside her tower to fight back the endless waves of invading adventurers in this world-conquest RPG. Known as Artifacts, these monsters and traps are your only hope in keeping the adventurers from destroying the Dark Crystal on the top floor. Fly your tower across the land and conquer every stage on your way to dominating the entire world.
Battle Poker
Players: 1-4
800 Wii Points
Battle Poker is a family-friendly card game with up to four players battling against the clock to make the best five-card hand possible. Battles are played across multiple rounds, and points are scored for each round based on the quality of the hand. Each player uses a Wii Remote™ controller to point and click on a standard deck of cards on the screen. The first click flips the card over, at which point it can be grabbed by anyone else. You've got to have fast fingers and eyes to grab the cards you need before someone else snatches them.
5 Spots Party
Players: 1-4
500 Wii Points
Have fun with the entire family and compete in three different play modes. 5 Spots Party is a game of skill for all ages based on the popular game of finding five differences. The goal is to find the greatest number of differences in the pictures shown. In the party modes, you must compete with other players and find as many mistakes as possible. In the 1-Player mode, you must find the differences before time runs out in order to beat the game's highest scores. How far do you think you can go?

Art Style: ZENGAGE
Players: 1
500 Nintendo DSi Points
Do you dream of relaxing with a great puzzle game? Art Style: ZENGAGE revolves around sliding cells (squares) to match colors with cores (beads) located on the board. Clear each stage by matching all of the cores and cells. As you progress through the game's 100-plus stages, you'll encounter cells with special characteristics, such as immovability, which further add to the challenge. To truly master ZENGAGE, you must keep your mind sharp and employ careful strategy to complete stages in as few moves as possible. Combining wistful graphics and mesmerizing sound, ZENGAGE creates a surreal world that should be experienced by all puzzle gaming fans.

My Life as a Darklord looks to be entertaining - but isn't this the second tower defense game set in Ivalice they've released in the past six months?
*yawn
I'm thinking dark lord. I hope its better than the last one.
@Coop: Better than the last tower defense CC game, or better than My Life as a King?
I LOVE the artstyle games, they're always fun. But then again I'm a sucker for obscure games
Nothing in the description of ZENGAGE mentions an origami aspect. Just for decoration?
