@warerare

I was thinking the same thing. Seems there is a DSiWare game tailored specifically to Paleo and his love for dolphins, lol!

Just like with boredom and Leon S. Kennedy, dolphin's gayness kills them.

Well, the demo for Zombie Panic was pretty shit. It controls well, I guess, but it wasn't that fun. I wonder if Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ is similar? I think I want to get that one on DSiWare.

@anon_mastermind

Gotta agree with your assessment. It's very cute and quirky, and controls fine. But there is no meat here. It might give you control of a character like Sin & Punishment does, but it's actually less satisfying to play than an arcade light gun shooter.

Also tried the Krazy Racers demo. It is also crap. In theory, a Mario Kart clone which uses the IR pointer for the weapons should be pretty cool and fun. But it remains a theory.

That does sound kind of cool. I never wanted it in Mario Kart, though.

I wanna try Zombie Panic. Even though it has zombies, which are quickly becoming a deal-breaker for me.
