First 5! - Lock's Quest

The first 5 minute impression that I get from Lock's Quest is a game of brain and brawn. This is no game where you are required to have a combination of button pressing attack or a lightning fast reflex. No, this game is a game of strategy, construction and ARPG.

A short tutorial of how you are supposed to build walls and fight are first given, but the games turn interactive and interesting when you are required to create a new turret. The tutorial will allow you to create your first turret and normally at this juncture you will click what you want with the parts you have. But with Lock's Quest, you are supposed to pick the parts that you have and create the turret based on the picture given. Meaning, you actually have to first build the turret before being able to use it. Brilliant!

The fighting is a simple point and stab, your character will auto-attack and you can monitor the situation from a top down slanted view, moving around the map to view other part of the battle. The hero will also have direct contact against the enemy, moving around to attack the oncoming onslaught.

 

Graphic wise, the pictures are bright and colorful. Something akin to your normal Final Fantasy game but with colour combination closer to Drawn to Life. All in all, an interesting and appealing colour combination.

I would say the First 5! of my impression for this games is solid and makes me feel like diving in for more action with Lock's Quest. Check you this new experience if you are interested.

New Section! First 5!

I believe that in the first 5 minutes of gaming, if the game can gets you, then it can get you to be hooked to it. Some does this splendidly, some does it badly by piling up the slow and ugly tutorial in the first 5 minutes with no interactions for the gamers.

This new section is for my first 5 minute impression of the game before I plow on further in. Look forward to this section here!

Maxis Wireless Broadband

So I had some slight problem with my Maxis wireless broadband for the past week. and after some "voicing" of concern for Maxis Customer Service which handled it well, they sent a technician over. Lo and behold, it seems that at that point of time, my internet was so good it hit 800++ kbps for upload!

The Technician was shocked and keep repeating that I have good internet lines and all that crap. Not believing my crappy luck, I tried again in 30 minutes before he leaves and got a drop of over 500++ kbps. Hitting only 370++ kbps. The technician was against shocked and had nothing to say. Eventually he promised to forward this "rare" case to his superior and will personally follow up on it.

Interesting technician to say the least. I am looking forward to see how Maxis is going to handle this huge fluctuation of speeds.

Lock's Quest

After much hype, much reading and much research into Lock's Quest for DS, I have come with a conclusion. either this game is going to live up to its hype or its going to flop. Badly.

For those that are uninitiated, Lock's Quest is a game that blends in real-time strategy with some action in it together with some old school role-playing. Now, on Lock's official website here you get to know more and play a flash version of the game which I assumed is supposed to be taken in part from the original game.

The initial feeling I get from the flash version of the game is that, it feels a lot like playing Tower Defense, except that the cannon is not on auto fire, and you don't get to instantly at that moment repair or build a new tower. This, requires you to shoot at your opponent manually and endure it all till the next break comes.

I might talk more about this game when I got it. But for now, Lock's Quest is sure hyping up to be a good game.

p/s: this game is brought to you by the same company that brought you Drawn To Life

Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood

Star Wars The Force Unleashed

 Lock's Quest: Contruction Combat

 Spore Creatures

 

This last one though is surprisingly fun and goes back to the basic of what it is supposed to be. A digimon game where digimon are raised, trained and then send to battle. If you like Digimon and none of the RPG crap, then this is a good game to invest in. 

Digimon World Championship
