In late 2005, Capcom released a Nintendo DS port of their popular Game Boy Advance title, Gyakuten Saiban, to U.S. audiences for the first time as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Eight years later, the game has seen numerous sequels and spin-offs released for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS alike (with more still to come), and now the original trilogy of titles is available for iOS systems in high definition for the very first time. But do these titles that make up Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright Trilogy still hold up in court?
The Night of the Rabbit is a point-and-click adventure game created by Daedalic Entertainment. In this game, you will help young protagonist Jerry Hazelnut train to become a magician by completing objectives through the collection of items, solving of puzzles, and exploration of the world around him. Gamezebo's walkthrough will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.
Have you ever wondered what Princess Zelda was going through while she desperately waited for Link to come to her rescue? Maybe you have, and maybe you haven't, but I'd like to believe that if handled properly, her story could make for an interesting twist on the classic tale of the hero's journey. Unfortunately, Hope: The Other Side of Adventure takes what could have made for a groundbreaking and empowering experience, and utterly destroys it by substituting community theater-level soliloquy and angst for compelling gameplay.
Jeremiah Hazelnut is a typical twelve-year-old boy: he loves comic books, blackberry pie, and going on adventures in the woods near his home. Jerry dreams of becoming a master magician some day, and while he is old enough to question the world around him, he's youthful enough to believe in the existence of real magic. On his second to last day of summer vacation, a day when "anything is possible," Jerry's dream begins to come true.
I'll be honest, before I started playing Expedition Mars, I didn't know anything about the game other than its title, and the fact that it was coming from the same people behind the intriguing point-and-click adventure Hypnosis. But in a way, I feel like this lack of information actually allowed me to enjoy this engrossing point-and-click adventure all the more, as Expedition Mars turns out to be a game that's all about discovery, and making those discoveries completely on your own.
Throughout the history of kids' cinema, there's always been some grungy bad guy who's constantly harshin' on Mother Nature. The forces of pollution are at it again in Epic, an iOS game based on the recent animated movie by Blue Sky Studios. Like the film it's based on, Epic is pretty to look at, and its world is fun to visit for a time, but you've been down this particular stretch of forest over, and over, and over again.
Family Tales: The Sisters is a fairly typical hidden object adventure game that doesn't break the mold in any respect. Its storyline follows a woman's journey to rescue her twin sister, with said journey taking players through the real world and alternate dimensions via both magical and scientific means. While there's some good to be found in Family Tales: The Sisters, every positive is offset by one (or more) problems.
The first time I heard the title Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas, I thought of some funny little sea critter with an awkward horn, who has to scour the ocean floor for shrimp and things to feed on. But boy, I couldn't have been more wrong about that one. However, I don't think I've ever been so happy to be wrong in my entire life before, because what the game Oceanhorn actually turns out to be is nothing short of amazing.
