Developed by Arika, and published by Mastiff (also known for Pump It Up), Technic Beat is a funny quirky music game that came out on the Playstation 2 back in November 2002.

I recently purchased this game for a mere few dollars (new) and I was pleasently surprised by its soundtrack (over 70 songs, many of which are remixes to classic games, such as Dig Dug.

The gameplay consists of timing “rings”, and hitting the button to the rhythm. Catch is you also have to move around on the stage to hit the rings, which becomes frantic fun, especially when playing with a friend.

For a few dollars, the game is tons of fun, and for those who like music rhythm games, I recommend checking this game out : )

WiiWare, a new exciting program exclusively on the Wii, gives developers a chance to get their games out into the world.

Taken from Nintendo Press,

WiiWare games are easy to download. Just go to the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel, find the game you want, redeem Wii Points™ and start the download. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. New games, at various Wii Point values, will be added to WiiWare on Mondays. The newly launched Nintendo Channel on Wii will let people view videos of and read information about WiiWare games and other Nintendo products. Users also can see player opinions to help them decide what to play next.

Here are the games available right now:

Flashback

Synopsis: Not much happening the last few weeks. I got a Playstation 2 though - I will definitely play it more once my Gameswitcher arrives in the mail so I can switch video game systems on the fly. I got Guitar Hero III as well - and I really like the wireless guitar. My favorite song in the game is the Halo mix which you can download for free!

That’s all for this week’s flashback! I’m very excited this coming Wednesday for Assault Heroes 2 on Xbox Live Arcade! Take care : )

And umm I like the guitar.

Don’t like the game very much though… the song list is not as good as GH II.

The game disk I got seems to have some glitches - some times when a song loads, the game freezes! : (

Take a look at my 3rd DDR Mega Music Mix : )

Yeah, its been out for seven years.

Its so tiny, it fits in my hand!

Now what games shall I get? : )

I got DDR Supernova 2 and Technic Beat so far.. I think I need some Final Fantasy!

Today is Wednesday.. I think!

Which means a really fun Xbox Live Arcade game was released:

For 800 points ($10), you get 700 crazy/informative questions, and a whole lot of fun! Up to 6 players online really makes this game stand out.

The game is quite simple - 7 rounds of questions, pick an answer, and then bet on your answer or another player’s. Player with the most chips at the end of the game wins.

I really enjoy the characters you can choose, and the dancing element is hilarious!

If you are a fan of “family game shows” then you will like this game! I would recommend this game to anyone. With more downloadable content in the future, this game should have tons of replay value ^_^
