Board 8 > New review up on "Between Life and Games" - Scarygirl!

(+) Yeah! (+)

I beat Scarygirl last week. Its wonderful art style is something we don't see often in games nowadays (as is the couch co-op option). I'd like share my review with you. As always, it is spoiler-free. I really hope it helps get more people playing Scarygirl, it's well worth the $10 it's sold for.

Didn't know there's a free browser version of it! Been interested in the game, and will probably pick it up anyway when it's on sale. Should I play the browser version first or after the HD version?

literally obsessed

It doesn't really matter, in essence, they're different games. They tell the same story, I suppose, but there are some key differences between in it between the two versions.

The browser version offers more gameplay variety - most is platforming, of course, but there's also motorcycle riding, swimming, a fighting game-like stage, a puzzle game-like one... And it's neat that you can "save" your game if you make an account.

In the HD version, there are just platforming and a few swimming stages. But it's more of an action game, you can do combos (after you buy them from a store), block attacks and stuff. Boss battles are great fun, as is playing couch co-op. Stages sometimes offer different paths you can take to complete them.

I suppose you could play the browser version first to see if you're into the art and the world and everything. It's free, after all. And there's a demo for the HD one available, so you can try that one before you buy, too.

You can only pretend Nintendo doesn't exist for so long.

Even considering Nintendo games, couch co-op is not very common.

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

more like ignoring XBLA, really. what worthwhile couch co-op experiences does the Wii really have?

Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

Well, you know I've got a PS3, but my claim there are few such games today stands. Check that Co-optimus site... Even its very existence is already an indication.
