I have indeed moved onto my former Spaces account. I'll no longer be posting here or updating the page, so....GTFO!

Well holy shit. I am alive. I haven't logged into this Space sine November 13th, apparently. It's been a while, and I suppose I'll update you on a few things: First thing's first: I'm no longer with Game-Spectrum, so that URL up above doesn't make much sense anymore. Alas, I might be switching to my first Space at evanvolm.spaces.live.com. I haven't logged into that one in....God....3 years, maybe? Or I might just stick with this one. It isn't a big deal to me, because I don't necessarily like these Spaces. No one I know uses them on a regular basis, thus proving to be quite pointless. I've moved onto Facebook to keep in touch with friends, and Blogger to...well...blog. I'm apparently working at StrategyInformer.com, but I'm not very useful. I kinda feel like crap about it all, because I was asked to find contact info. for a few game companies about advertising. I did so, and sent out emails weeks ago and haven't gotten any replies. I'd at least ...

The original DS, that is. Sure they're still making plenty of games for it, but accessories? The DS Lite seems to be getting all the love in that field. I wouldn't mind having a simple skin for my DS, but all I can ever find are ones for the Lite. Nyko seems to be a friend of Game-Spectrum, so I went their site in search for a few accessories I could try out. Unfortunately, all they had was one: a power pack. While a power pack may be of some to hard core gamers, 8 extra hours of gameplay certainly does me no good. Though, the "Charger Grips" do look comfortable. *sigh*

First and foremost, I must admFirst and foremost, I must admit I've never been a fan of strategy/puzzle games. I've never been able to find enjoyment from games like Jewel Quest, or even Tetris. That's right. I'm not a fan of Tetris. At all. In fact, I can go so far as to say I hate Tetris. I know many people my age who could spend hours on Tetris, and even a few mothers. But those kind of games never really did it for me. Where's the bang? The explosions? The guns? I mean, at least give me a little blood for all the work and time I put into completing each stage. With that said, I went into Neves expecting pretty much the same experience. How wrong I was.... Simply put, Neves is a great time waster. When you first start up the game, you are given a tutorial on how to control each of the seven pieces available. It's a decent tutorial, but it isn't really needed. A few seconds of playing and you'll pick up on what to do. After the tutorial, you can then select from ...

Well, after completing 130 or so silhouettes on Neves, it's safe to say I get the gist of it all. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10. Pros: Extremely simple, yet complex at the same time. Decent customization, such as changing the color scheme, navigation arrows and sound effects(on or off). Good time-waster. Ability to see achievements for each mode you've played. Cons: You can get easily frustrated on some puzzles, but it actually just makes you want to beat it even more. Controlling the pieces can be a tad difficult at times, especially the smaller ones. The increase in difficulty just isn't there while in "silhouette" mode. There are 4 different levels, but they aren't really any different. I've yet to try out "7steps", in which you must place each piece perfectly or else you phail. There's also "TimePressure", which is self-explanatory. I wouldn't mind trying out multiplayer, but unfortunately can't. I should have the full review up by ...
