For a couple months in 2009/10, my friend (who owned the PS3) and I played the snot out of this game, getting pretty damn great at it. The lighthearted aesthetic and the ease of play hide a decent amount of depth and skill, but also keep it from being as exhaustingly sweaty as most popular multiplayer online games. There was a neat mechanic where you could actively switch to the losing team if there was an imbalance in teams, and I found that once I got pretty good I could jump over to the bad side and still be competitive. Unfortunately all good things have to end - I think there were a few good updates but after we stopped playing it felt like this one pretty much dropped off the map. There's another game up on this list that is another strong example of a popular online game genre getting a cute theme and a lot of lighthearted charm that is a good 2021 counterpart to Fat Princess, so I'll save the rest of those kinds of comments for then. 83. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (DS, 2007) Hotel Dusk is a really neat game from a time when it seems like developers were finally figuring out exactly how to best utilize the DS. A game where you spend the whole experience by holding the system sideways, like a book, telling a noir story with black-and-white hand drawn characters is very novel and gimmicky, but absolutely works here to perfection. Each of the game's chapters sees the main protagonist reveal more about his past while uncovering the truth about one of the many colorful characters in the Hotel on a very long evening - the gruff hotel manager, the lazy screw-up busboy, a popular writer, a mysterious one-eyed woman with a rad eyepatch, etc. Its storytelling is lovely even if the gameplay is sometimes a bit too obtuse and clunky (I think there was a puzzle or two where I looked up the solution or at least some sort of hint) but the overall pay-off is worth it. It's hard for me to feel SO strongly to place this much higher, but it's a must-play for anyone who owns a DS and really exemplifies the kind of original content that console had to offer. --- it's an underwater adventure ride <cite>Naye745 posted [p:949327528] in The Board ...
