Next Gen Hors D'oeuvre 10: PaintBall 2
What is it?
An arcade/puzzle game where you have to paint lines of three or more spheres the same colour, making sure that the lines are near the pipes at the side of the playing area. There are five modes which all require slightly different approaches.
Why should I get it?
It's a simple-looking but very fun game which has a surprising amount of depth thanks to the very varied game modes, which go all the way from mostly-arcade to mostly-puzzle. There is a mode to suit most tastes and moods. The interface is also very good, with simple number-based shortcuts next to each icon.
Easy is for brainless time-wasting, Hard needs you to concentrate more on the game, Panic requires you to take instinctive risks, Heat is a much slower and more strategic game, and Chroma is the most intellectually demanding as you have to constantly think about out how your colour will combine with the colour already on the spheres.
