This week’s DSiWare offering is rather interesting. It carries a Texas Hold ‘Em poker game by Hands-On Mobile, one in which you pilot a ship and one which has you on the hunt for Jack the Ripper. Four games are available as DSiWare this week including Metal Torrent, Advanced Circuits, World Poker Tour Texas Hold ‘Em, and Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper.
Metal Torrent is from Nintendo for one player. The game is a vertical scrolling shooter which allows you to pilot a ship deep into enemy space. You must battle wave after wave of enemies as you strive for the highest score on the online leaderboards. Two fighters, the Accipiter and the Bateleur, tailored for beginners and experts are available to choose from. Gamers must progress through the eight phases of the game collecting a series of consecutive cubes to create a chain and boost overall score. Metal Torrent is available for 500 Nintendo DSi Points.
World Poker Tour Texas Hold ‘Em can be played by up to six players and allows users to experience the heart-pounding tension of playing at the World Poker Tour. The official game has been tested and approved by the experts at the WPT.
