Chinatown Wars, Lost and Damned news
Let's take it one step at a time. Chinatown Wars has been tried out by staff at the bigger magazines, and they didn't shy away from writing about it either, so here's the reading material for anyone interested:
In short: it's a killer little game. The touch-screen controls are well done, and the graphics are good for what the hardware can do. The camera isn't quite directly overhead but sits a bit behind the character, so on the one hand you get a bit of a 3D feel, and on the other you can see further ahead, e.g. while driving. Drug dealing plays a central role in the game, the missions are good, and sadly the radio stations don't play the licensed hits we're used to from the "real" GTAs, just instrumental tracks. Well, you can forget about singing along to the radio while cruising aimlessly around the city...
Now, on to The Lost and Damned. One new screenshot (that's 1) has arrived, and what I find more interesting, the achievement list. Of course, since it's a DLC, there are only a few, five to be exact. Here they are:
* Get Good Wood (Get a good club) - 50G: During the bike races, knock 69 bikers off with a baseball bat.
* Easy Rider (EASY RIDER! - after Üvegtigris) - 100G: Finish the story.
* Full Chat (Full conversation(?)) - 70G: Your reservists give their best.
* The Lost Boy (The lost kid) - 25G: Long live the leader of the Lost!
* One Percenter (One percenter(?)) - 5G: Billy gets his bike back.
The translation of the achievements might not be completely perfect, it's hard when it's not clear what you'll have to do to earn them.
Here's the new screenshot:
