Mario Strikers: Battle League
Back in the land with the long -awaited game, Mario Strikers Battle League, a Nintendo -style football game. So this is the “sequel” to Mario Strikers Charged Football, released in 2007 on the Wii (two years after the first GameCube). The concept is simple: you reduce the teams on either side of the field to 5 players – including the goalkeeper – and you forget all the yellow cards, offside. HERE All shots are allowed to score more goals than the opposing player. To do this, you can rely on special moves, a classic of Mario games. Nintendo also did what it took to keep the Strikers formula, with more subtle gameplay, stamina bars, more emphasis on game preparation, online mode – obviously – improved. In short, everything smells so good!

Although TEMPEST
In a very different way, here it is Although TEMPEST, a visual novel created by studio Voltage. This name probably doesn’t mean much to you, but the company has extensive experience in this type of narrative adventures, where the player follows a complex scenario with the possibility to make choices and direct the flow of things. In this case, the group announces a title based on two systems: the investigation (taking clues, discussing with witnesses) and the trial, where you have to state your conclusions and face the culprit. . Thus you follow the story of Anastasia, a girl whose only ounce of happiness is stolen by someone she trusts. “As she uses herself, Anastasia gains a supernatural power, the Return from beyond the grave” tells us on the project page. But what awaits him in the end is even more misery.
