Character Hunter is a blog about those little cute fuckers found all over Japanese packaging.

latest consuptions - vacation edition

Games:

• Uniwar - totally classic hex-based strategy on the go. Love it.
• Peggle iPhone -Ah fuck it, I love Peggle.
• Drop7 - 9 hour flight + Drop 7 + Growing = drugs.
• Primrose - Minimalistic puzzle game by Jason Rohrer, minus anything Jason Rohrer.
• Wolfenstien 3d iPhone - Utterly terrible port. Why does this game have blurry, blown up pseudo-pixels instead of crisp, beautiful sprites? Just give me classic Wolf3d, okay? Don't upscale anything.
  
• Lilt Line - Nice visual style, but sorta bland game design. It's just tilt controlled helicopter with some graphic design sense. Then again, it's cheep so whatever, it's worth a play.
  
• Reflexion - Breakout on crack with perfect touch controls.
• Eliss - I like. More like this, please.

Books:

• The Road - Total downer... but incredible.
• Wizard of Earthsea - It made me want to replay Windwaker.
• Tombs of Atuan - It made me want to replay Ico.
• Black Jack - Book 1 - Osamu Tezuka classic about a doctor super hero. Pulpy and cheesy as hell, but worthwhile.
• The Shadow out of Time - I don't know what it is about Lovecraft but his books are never scary... until I actually fall asleep. Then I always have the most horrible nightmare of my life.

Films:

• Up - Not as good as I hoped, but still full of Pixar goodness.
• Tales of Earthsea - I need more Earthsea!!!
• Street Fighter: The Legend of Chung Li - In-flight movie number 1, mind numbingly horrible.
• The International - In-flight movie number 2, surprisingly interesting. Clive Owen is a dream boat.

Other iPhone Apps:

• Stanza - 51 books on my iPhone for free, including every Conan tale and everything HP Lovecraft. I love it.
  
• Buddha Machine - Ye ol' Buddha Machine, but on the iphone. Perfect, looping ambient goodness.
• TonePad - Very addictive, free music generator.
• 8bitOne - Fully functional chip tunes program. Really amazing.

while I was away...

Good things happened at capy, such as:

• Pocketgamer ploped us in their E3 Top 10.
• IGN nominated us for 4 Best of E3 Awards.
• Joystick wrote a nice Critter Crunch Hands On post.
• Brandon Boyer of Offworld wrote a great feature about iphone games, including CC.
  
• Other secret things.
