Sleepy Gamer is thankful for.. bite-sized game experiences.
I love the occasional 50-60 hour RPG experience as much as the next guy, but sometimes it’s nice to just sit down and play a game for 5-10 minutes. Thankfully, there are a host of games that are just perfect for that situation. Geometry Wars 2, Pac-man C.E., and Pixel Junk Eden all possess great “pick up & play” appeal. Smaller, casual games also provide another great benefit. They’re great “wind you down” games for that last bit of gaming at the end of the day, or even right before bed. Nothing like a 2-hour Peggle session when you can’t sleep at 3 in the morning.
Sleepy Gamer is thankful for.. save anywhere.
You weren’t always able to save your game at anytime in console games. True, some games still stick to the antiquated concept of the artificially increased challenge that rigid save points bring, but the vast majority have moved past this. Now we’re free to save our game every five steps and abuse quick save/load to our heart’s content. Ridiculously long dungeons are finally a thing of the past. Now you’re playing with power.. and it doesn’t involve holding the reset button while turning off the power.
