Ok here it is, The quick pick it up for fun game space is here, if not overloaded.

There are just so many puzzles, or shoot the marble down the drain games I can take.
So I suggest we all take a breath and try something old. Yes I said old, whether it is a classic on MAME or something like Hotel Dusk on the DS that came out today.

How is it that a game that just came out today could be old? I feel that Hotel Dusk is 'old' in that it is a classic point and click adventure game brought up to date on the DS.

I will do more of a write up once I get a bit more into it, but I have to say that it is far from simple. Maybe there is some room for narrative in the portable game field. Paperback books are a staple of bus or train rides, why not a well written adventure or story based game that you can open or close when ever you want to?

I would like to believe that this interactive storytelling marketplace will win the largest share over time, but I see the writing on the wall with the video iPod. It will never happen, but just as some people prefer to read a book, some will like a good interactive fiction to explore.
