I'm personally kind of shocked, I expected scores equal to or lower than Lumines, but Meteos actually scored much higher (by comparison, Lumines was given a 30/40). Now, Ubi Soft, THQ, Bandai Games, or whoever else...get off your ass and announce this game for the US!

wow, I didn't expect meteos to do better than lumines either.

I have a feeling that it would be pretty import friendly. so perhaps we don't have to wait for a US release :)

I was pretty sure that Meteos had a release of 3/10/05?

I've been waiting for this baby ever since I heard it was from Q entertainment... watching some old videos, I instantly got hooked :shock:

That's the release date for Japan, I don't think there is word on a US release. But all I can say is WOW! I'm even more excited for this game now, it was already one of my most anticipated DS titles but this solidifies it at the top of the list now.

I don't know, but I find Lumines kinda blah. I mean, I enjoy playing it, but it isn't the next tetris by any means.

Meteos! It will be mine!

From Famitsu that kind of score is usually reserved for systems selling titles. Pretty remarkable fro a puzzler.

I'm actually pretty surprised why there isn't more noise for the other PSP puzzler Mercury. I put money down on that one over Lumines.

What's shocking is that Pac Pix scored a 33!!

[starboyk]

Alright- they gave Shadows of Rome 30! Fucking 30! That game barely broke a 20 in my book, but, ah. I have always found my opinions on action and puzzlers closer to the reviews of Ziff Davis media's editors, while Play and PSE holds my RPG and platformer opinions closest. But, to the point, if they liked shadows of Rome so much, that's not exactly what I would call promising for any other review. Wait until the 10th when it's reviewed by peers- then I'll possibly be eating my words.

SIDEBAR: Didn't realise this one was done by the same minds behind Lumines. Dammit, I better break out napkins and a knife, 'cuz I think it's going to be a feast...

God Lord someone pick Meteos up. Maybe Atlus - they just picked up a few handheld games innit?

Pac-man got a 33/40.
