Living the High Life


Video Game Diary:

Last night I played Meteos for the Nintendo DS with Matt and Jordan for two hours in the crew van of Slushie, a most exhilirating rock-n-roll megaforce. I won't go over the details of how I got into this situation but I will tell you that Meteos is one of the best experiences I have had with a puzzle game. The two hours passed like two minutes for three people sharing the game from a single card. The multiplayer options are unmatched.

We talked throughout the night about the sequel, called Meteos: Disney Magic Edition and concluded that we could overlook the license because, in this version, online play was promised.

I found out later from Steve, who sounded dismayed that I brought up the subject altogether, that the online play was pulled.

Prediction: This game will flop.

Why? Because I already know four hardcore Meteos fans who aren't buying.
