While playtesting Strip poker to see if everything works ok, I found an easy way to outsmart the AI: even if you have no cards, just keep betting $25, 9 out of 10 times the computer will drop. Use this with some strategy, i.e. don't bet $25 till a few bets/raises have been made and the pot is yours without even revealing cards!
Anyhoo, my review for this menu is...
SnafuxOkay, if I had to write a 3rd review about a vertical shoot'em'up, I'd
really be pushing it never mind Flying shark being a good game. So instead I'm going to cover a game that most people will dismiss as crap right away, but is actually a bit fun!
This game is a variation of Tron light cycles. It is strictly single player, with the player controlling the trail that consists of red circles and the computer controlling the green-and-many-more-colours trail. The goal of the game remains the same: make the opponent crash before you do. While the standard tron rules apply to you, i.e. if you touch a non-blank space then bye bye, for the computer it's a bit different. For starters the computer trail moves much faster than the player, and also it can step on its own trail a few times before blowing up. The main strategy is trapping the computer in a small region where it can blow up at its own time, but that's not always easy due to the speed difference. It can become a bit random too, since it can trap you without even noticing.
It's one of these games that look utter crap at first but they're interesting too after a few goes. The main problem of course is convincing people to try it more than one time
. Don't look at me, I'm not going to even suggest you play it, but I sure will give it a few tries!
