Mario Hoops 3 on 3 - Final Play

Games often take many approaches to maintain the interest of the player. They can capture the player’s attention with a compelling storyline, hook the player into collecting trinkets and unlocking secrets, and present the player with the satisfying challenge of mastery. Mario Hoops 3 on 3 forgoes the storyline, and pursues both of the other options.

Read my full and final review of Mario Hoops 3 on 3 at The Game Chair.

Speaking of games, a cadre of carefully selected individuals will soon be uniting to compete for "The Great Canadian Videogame Competition". Stay tuned for more on that story as it develops.

Cleveland Rocks

I've been on several business trips the last bit, including Providence, Rhode Island and now Cleveland, Ohio. There was a chance that I would be going to Shanghai but unfortunately that opportunity fell through for me. I have been told that I may be able to go to Vietnam in the near future but I'm not holding my breath.

So now I am in Cleveland, working with our business partner preparing for a large demo that the business partner will be delivering.

I'm here to ensure that they're successful, and to help prod them before they fall into a turkey induced American Thanksgiving lull.

As for "Cleveland Rocks", well so far I haven't been able to put that to the test, but I must say that the Hyatt Regency Arcade downtown is beautiful, the service is amazing, and the roasted salmon dinner I had last night (sitting atop a mound of tasty udon noodles, sundried tomatoes, and succulent mushrooms) was delicious. I would recommend staying there if it's an option for you.
I'm back in Toronto tomorrow evening.
