Trauma
Trauma is being touted as a literary game with a compelling plot and an interesting, gesture-based interface. It’s an adventure/puzzle game about a girl with serious injuries who is exploring her own mind through lucid dreams. The graphics are photo-realistic and a bit abstract at times. The idea is that the gameplay be engaging, rather than puzzling or frustrating. It’s nice to see games like this attempted, but execution can sometimes be disappointing.
Fruit Ninja
Hate Fruit? Here’s Fruit Ninja. The Fruit Slicing genre has been pretty popular on mobile devices for a time. In these games players use their fingers on the touch screens to slice fruit which is being tossed around the screen, sometimes earning bonuses for special moves, or penalties for striking the wrong kind of fruit. This new game brings the genre to Kinect, allowing players to slice fruit with their own flailing appendages. There’s not much more to it than that, but at least it’s not another dance or exercise ‘game’.
