So, how was everyone's holidays this year. Mine were pretty good. The only gaming related thing I got was an old Megaman NES cartridge from my brother. Some kind of collector's item even if it isn't really one as of right now. As for gaming itself, it was pretty quiet. I went through Banjo-Kazooie at 100%, something I would never have hoped to achieve when I was younger. I played a lot of Saint's Row 2 to get some of the holidays stress out, played a bit of Pokemon Diamond on long car trips and enjoyed that Iphone/Ipod touch gaming jewel that is Rolando.
I never got to play Locoroco as I don't have a PSP. Rolando is, from what I heard and saw, the closest thing I could ever get. To quickly resume the gameplay, you tilt your Iphone/Ipod touch to move the little rolando, you drag your finger up on the screen to make them jump and you can use your finger to interact with on screen contraptions such as catapults and fans. The controls are simple and instinctive. Everything acts the way it should. The simple gameplay really makes Rolando an addictive and very fun game. The colourful palette is also a nice change from the usual grey and brown tones most games are giving us these days. The music is mostly forgettable but at least won't fall on your nerves. A definitive buy for anyone searching for a nice little game to make time pass.
