Space Giraffe micro review (XBox 360)
Jun. 15th, 2008 12:26 pmUtterly mad Tempest-style game from industry pioneer Jeff Minter.
On the one hand, the game is bursting with infectious joy, and it's hard not to get wrapped up in it.
On the other, a game should never cause an experienced game-player to say "Uh, why did I just die?" out loud. Repeatedly.
On the left rear hoof, it's five bloody dollars, and it's made me laugh, and I will have to show it to friends who will also laugh, so there that is.
Ten bucks spent between two utterly ridiculous new video games in one weekend is enough for now.
