Patapon

I was supposed to type my thesis in my lab today but alas, I left my thumbdrive back at home and my lab desktop don't have a backup copy. So I literally spent my whole day doing nothing.

But that is not really true... I spend my whole day gaming. :P
I didn't realise that this simple game is so interesting and addictive. What am I talking about, it is an original game that I got for my PSP which is called Patapon.

The gameplay is simple, extract from Wikipedia "The player controls a tribe consisting of infantry, ranged troops and cavalry. Initially, the player's warband (army) consists of only a few basic spearmen but as the game progresses more units, greater warriors and more powerful weapons can be obtained. The army is commanded by beating rhythm combos on four different talking drums each mapped to one of the PSP's four control buttons. Different combos tells the player's group of Patapons to do various things such as advance, attack, and defend. Keeping the rhythm going and not missing a beat builds a frenzy in your army which increases attack speed, power and general prowess."

Do check the website. It is very cute.
