PS3 Fanboy review: Operation Creature Feature
Operation Creature Feature is a game made specifically for the Eye. If you don't have the camera peripheral, read no further -- this game won't work for you. However, those that do have Eye will find that this experiment in video gaming an interesting diversion. Those that have $5 in spare change lying around won't do too poorly with this purchase. However, once the initial novelty disappears, the appeal of Operation Creature Feature quickly diminishes.The goal of Operation Creature Feature is to carry innocent Blurbs, trapped inside a trap-riddled mine, to safety. In order to do so, you'll move your hands (and the rest of your body) to carry these critters to a goal in each level. There's a time limit, and death traps aplenty ... so players best be careful!You won't be just using your hands. Because the game detects motion, players will find the Blurbs being dragged around by their shoulders, their necks, their feet. Instinctively, one will try to use their hands, but the camera will detect other parts of your body moving and move any Blurbs that get in the way. This can be frustrating at times, as players must learn how to keep their body still in order to attempt proper movement of the Blurbs.%Gallery-11029%
PSN Thursday: Gobble up the content early
Just like our GameTap Thursday post, it looks like our PSN Thursday post is coming in a little early because of the Turkey Day holiday. You pretty much know about most of this stuff already, but we're going to put it all on a platter after the break for easy consumption. The highlight this week -- and we're stretching that definition just a bit -- is the new PlayStation Eye titles Aquatopia and Operation Creature Feature.Of course, for the Rock Band faithful there is all the new DLC content available. Also, even though it's not part of the update, don't forget about the PSN "sale" going on right now.[Via PS3 Fanboy]
Two PlayStation Eye titles hit American PSN today
If you've yearned to have your PlayStation 3's electronic retina do something other than judge rectangular pieces of paper, today presents two new opportunities via the PlayStation Network store. The first, Operation: Creature Feature, has you herding little monsters through mazes, guiding them with the motion of your hands. The $4.99 investment might just help you defeat the habit of shaking your fist in the air whenever you feel frustrated -- every time you do that, you might inadvertently kill even more of the poor little things. If killing poor little things of the aquatic variety is also one of your neglectful habits, you'd best stick to the virtual fish in Aquatopia. Sure, it's a glorified $1.99 screensaver, but if you skipped Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted, it's probably the least fishy thing you'll have running on your PS3. It also explains the rather curious pile of Fish Flakes on top of James Ransom-Wiley's TV. [Via PS3 Fanboy]
