Other than WoW...

Aside from WoW, I like to play my PS Vita. When I got it it came with a one year subscription to the PlayStation Network which allows me to download some games for free. When ever they have paid games available for free download I jump on it and try them out. This past week I downloaded two games that I am really enjoying! The first is called Dokuro, and here's a description:

"Dokuro is a stoic, little skeleton who is a mere peon in the Dark Lord’s army. One fateful day he witnesses his master returning with a helplessly abducted Princess he intends to force into marriage. At once smitten by her plight, Dokuro resolves to free her from the Dark Lord’s treacherous, monster-infested castle. Along the way, he happens upon a mystical blue potion with the power to transform him into a dashing Hero tragically, this is the only time the Princess can witness his noble endeavors.

Heedless of any danger, the Princess will continue to walk forward until she encounters an obstacle she cannot overcome on her own. Dokuro must switch between his Skeleton and Hero forms to utilize his various skills and abilities. While the Skeleton form allows him to stalk about in the shadows and ensure her safe passage, the Hero form enables him to mount a gallant offensive against the armies of darkness!"




When they say she will continue to walk forward, they are not kidding. She doesn't jump at all in the game, so he must clear paths for her or carry her to safety. You are faced with puzzles that you must solve in order to get her through the castle. I love games that require me to think and strategize, so this one is definitely a keeper! Not to mention that the character is cute and has a wonderful Tim Burton feel to it :)

The other game I downloaded is Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.

"Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is a suspense-driven visual novel/puzzle game and spiritual sequel to the hit, 999. Zero has kidnapped nine people and placed them in a warehouse to play the deadly Nonary Game. These seemingly nine strangers have bracelets that will kill them if they don’t play the game correctly. However, how can they trust each other, and do some have ulterior motives? Play as Sigma and decide who to trust and who to betray in this plot twisting visual novel! Who is Zero, why has Sigma been brought here and who exactly are the others? With fully voiced dual language support, mind-bending puzzles and more, solve the mystery that is Zero!"


It reminds me of the movie "Saw" only not so bloody, not that I've seen yet anyway, I only just started playing it. Some puzzles are more obvious than others, which take a good deal of thinking to solve. I don't care for all the chatter when clicking on items, but over all a cool game if you're into solving mysteries and the like.
What games do you play when WoW is offline?
