Facebreaker
– “Party version of Fracebreaker,” but title is misleading (not really minigames)
– Graphics look great – art style is impressive, moves nicely
– Gameplay has a lot of promise also, but Matt wasn’t able to play it long
– Shot from the sideview, still a 3D boxing game
– Very fast, arcadey

Skate It
– Still not a lot of gameplay available in the version Matt + Daemon played
– Will be a learning curve, but it’ll be a “cool” way to play a skateboarding game – Daemon
– Programmed intuitively
– Grinding all about timing
– Visually not too impressive
– Framerate needs to be up and running – lag won’t be good for the game

DS Version of Skate It
– Developed by Exient
– Looks very, very good for the DS
– Draw all tricks on the touch screen, drawings are similar, so you might do a trick by mistake
– Looks promising

Order Up!
– Latest version more polished, somewhat enjoyable
– Kind of like Cooking Mama/Diner Dash, more control of what you’re doing
– Won’t blow anyone away, but Matt would rather play it than Cooking Mama
