DS Daily: OMG LOL, amirite

by JC Fletcher { Apr 11th 2008 at 9:00AM }

Skip, the creators of Chibi-Robo, surprised us last year with Archime-DS, one of the most bizarre games on a system known for bizarre games (seriously, its most popular games are about doing math and walking dogs). Then Agetec surprised us by announcing plans to (sort of) release it in the U.S.! It's about the weirdest and most simplistic concept for a game we can think of, basically a chat client with a configurable timer and a voting mechanism.

We normally don't like to rely on our friends to create a game's content, but at the same time we can't deny that Pictionary is fun -- and LOL is even more freeform than Pictionary. It's designed with the idea of voting on the best answer to player-submitted questions, or best prompted drawings, but you can kind of do whatever you want. There's definitely the possibility of fun to be had here, but do you think you'll be able to get past the strangeness of the game to seek it?

"Draw Star Wars" - Justin draws a "meat-saber"

I would be interested, but I don't have any friends with a DS.

The collector in me wants to pick up a copy to go with my Electroplankton and Web Browser. How much use I'll get out of it? Hard to say. Even with single card multiplayer, it doesn't sound like you'll get much out of the experience unless you have three or more people plugged in, and I really don't know that many folks with DSes.
