Site Update

Hello gamers and welcome to another edition of “Site Updates”. I always love to tell you guys what is going on in the world of Gameonrevolution and what’s to come. As you probably have already noticed, we have updated our look to match “Wii white,” (as I like to call it), and give the site a more sophisticated look. Please keep voting on what you guys think the site needs and I will be sure to implement as much as possible.

Podcasts- We have recorded 3 but only 2 have been posted thus far. The third one was supposed to be posted already but we had that huge storm here and it would’ve been old news by the time it made it up. If you have itunes, be sure to head to the itunes store under “podcasts” and type in Gameonrevolution; we should pop up there. Download the shows and rate us online. More are coming so stay tuned!!

Less than a month for Wii- Finally we are less than a month away from Nintendo’s innovative 5th console Wii. Don’t fret gamers, we will be packed to the brim full of the information you crave: game reviews, news and rumors, we will have it all.

As a matter of fact, WE’RE HIRING! Right now, Gameonrevolution is looking for some writers to post their thoughts on the industry and write Nintendo related articles. We would love to have you, simply drop us an email (gameonrevolution@gmail.com) and let us know you have what it takes. I can’t wait to hear from you guys. Thanks again for always stopping by. Updates to come so stay tuned. Game ON!

Dantendo is Back!

Hello gamers, good news: Dantendo is back with a great review of the recently released Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. Below is the full review. Huge props again for Dantendo.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Released: September 20th, 2006
Developer: Square Enix

Well, if my review needed to be in one word, that would be “wow.” Luckily, I can use more than one word. So “HOLY F@#% THIS GAME IS GREAT” sounds better. Here’s why:

Graphics: Did you like LOZ: The Minish Cap? You should have, partly because the graphics were amazing, and Dragon Quest’s visuals are very similar to Minish Cap. Somehow that simple design technique really goes a long way. All of the games wacky worlds are drawn up to perfection. Not that anyone should linger on a game’s graphics, but I figured I should point this out.

Story: This is where Rocket Slime really captivated me. Anyone who is familiar with the Mario and Luigi series would understand what I’m talking about when I say the story is cleverly plotted out. There’s a perfect blend of “oh my god the world is going to end” mixed in with tons of dragon quest humor. The only minor drawback to a story like this is that you won’t get as much out of the story and the humor without having at least some prior Dragon Quest knowledge. Don’t worry though, the story is simple and quite enjoyable no matter your prior knowledge.

Gameplay: Holy crap this game has a lot of guts. By that I mean you will spend countless hours collecting monsters, ammunition, and battling in tournaments. When you’re done with that, you can give the hero’s well a shot if you’re feeling up to a challenge. I personally spent about 15-16 hours on the game, but that doesn’t include the sidequests, so I hope you have some time on your hands.

Replay Value: You’ll probably only play the story once, but you’ll enjoy the sidequests enough to spend the extra time doing them. All in all I’d say there’s low to moderate replay on this game. Only true hardcore fans will find themselves beating this game time and time again.

Overall: For the most part, this game has been rating pretty well (in the 8-9 range in most magazines) however, I feel that it’s being underrated by just a bit. I personally would say it’s closer to the 9-9.5 range. Games like this are the reason why the Nintendo DS is the clear handheld ruler, outselling the PSP by about 4 to 1. So go buy it now!
