I've been pretty stressed as of late, so I just wanted an easy, light-hearted game to play but since I don't really have a lot of those kinds of games I just went with LocoRoco. I'm not sure if I liked it or not (I was in a bad mood at the time), but it at least fit with what I wanted to play. Controlling the LocoRocos was the only slightly difficult thing, as you use the L & R buttons to tilt the world which isn't as precise as using a D-Pad (it's kind of like one of those tilty wooden marble mazes), but I found that as long as I didn't worry about the collectibles then it was fine.
Also most of the LocoRocos you unlock aren't cute at all, but I guess if that's all I have to gripe about then I probably would of had fun with this if I was in a better mood.
You should give LocoRoco 2 a try. That's easily my favorite PSP game, and the music and level design is much better than the first game's.
Ghost Trick (DS)
A logic puzzle game by the Ace Attorney guy that isn't Ace Attorney, but is still pretty dang fun. It's really cool to see him trying something different (even if he did go and just make another 3 AA games after this Xp).
The story is nothing super special, but it's engaging enough to fill the gaps. I just didn't find the characters as engaging as perhaps they could've been in a visual novel that had more text-based puzzles, like in AA. The puzzles though, really fun. In old reviews I'd read, I'd heard that some of the puzzles get really un-fun and difficult, but I never even had to look up a guide once for this game. I feel the difficulty curve is really well done, as well as implementation of new mechanics just as old ones get stale.
I'm not exactly in the mood for Ghost Trick 2, but I would like to see Shu Takumi give other genres (or subgenres of visual novels, I guess) a try, because this shows he can make some really cool stuff if Capcom lets him away from Ace Attorney.
