In Elements of Destruction, can you even lose?

Sorta yea. Theirs a bunch of different enemies that are constantly attacking you which lowers your energy. If your blue energy drops to 0 it starts draining your red. And if that hits zero you die. Best description I can give you is red is hp blue is mp/armor.
The other way you can lose of course is by not completing the objectives in time. If you play the demo the first two levels aren't bad. But some of the later ones could make you repeat them. I've found that when i do fail it's usually from time though.

seems a lot like a beautiful katamari type game. i have only played the demo of it but you can't really lose. you just basically try to do the best you can every time. surely there is some benchmark you have to meet in the full versions of both of these though....

As always, great mini-reviews. Thanks.
Sea Life is pretty funny. I've seen the "take photos of wildlife" game mechanic before but throwing little silver balls at aquatic life to get an action shot has to be a videogame first.

Anyone else thinks that the timing of Elements of Destruction is a little unfortunate with all of the weather related trauma in the US right now...
As I was watching the demo I was wincing when the tornado and lightning came out and felt sorry for the folks living in those structures.
God... I'm getting old.

Well, at least Sea Life Safari isn't 60 dollars.

Looks like sea life suffers the same problem as pokemon snap, the rails. I think these games would be alot mroe fun if you were in the enviroment roaming, and had to find these animals, possibly at certain times of day and even do stuff to make them appear, like scare away fish A so later fish b can come out of hiding.
I think if these games did that they may be more interesting. I think the ps3 game "afrika" does these, but im not sure.

Actually it was stated that Afrika did the same "rail" function as Pokemon Snap.

If something like Sea Life interests you and you have a Wii, try Endless Ocean. Similar concept, but with a lot more content and not on rails.

What's with all the annoying and not funny word bubbles? I understand that you guys are trying to add some fun to things but give me a break that's really lame.

You can disable the pop up comments by hitting the little speech bubble on the bottom of the player.
Anyone can add them by the way.

Yeah that's just part of Viddler's video player. Anyone who watches a video can make a comment...

Things will explode really big if you target propane tanks and the like.
