NIS-America's Viral Survival has great logo, trailer photo

Isn't that a cool logo? I like all that squiggly stuff behind the text, and there are some eyeballs behind there that kinda remind me of Patapon, which also has a nice logo.

Anyway, Viral Survival's coming to WiiWare, and is touted as an "escape action game" where the main goal is survival. Hence, the term "survival" in the title. Players control a DNA unit dodging enemy viral attacks. In this case though, I'm reasonably certain that "viral" does not refer to current marketing strategies for Dante's Inferno or Bioshock 2. Just regular viruses, like swine or bird flu. Maybe a bit of plague, for a "period piece" atmosphere.

Anyway, the little DNA units can connect to other DNA units, dragging them along in a quest to not die. So far it sounds a little bit like Snake, which is cool, since I haven't played some decent Snake since I stopped using my ancient Nokia phone.

Check out a trailer for the game below. I like the visual style and the fast pace.

this is not really how DNA and viruses work, but it looks fun

I was interested in this until I saw the video.

Just another "snake" game. And for the record, I didn't like fl0w very much either, aside from the ambiance.

The ONLY snake-type game that I've found to be fresh enough to warrant some serious play time is The Last Guy. Lots of good features added in there that extended the usually short-lived excitement of these games.
