AOTF:
As we’ve said before, there is currently a very enjoyable resurgence of games that heavily feature local multiplayer. Games like #IDARB, Super Smash Bros., and Nidhogg have come along and brought gamers back together in the same room to beat the crap out of each other. Starwhal: Just the Tip, by indie developer Breakfall, was right out in front of this wave of nostalgic multiplayer fun with its PC release last year. Now it is available on the PlayStation, bringing its unique brand of chaotic action to the living room, where it really belongs. With a few changes for the console release, Starwhal holds up well in the more competitive marketplace, making for a worthy addition to your party game lineup.
Indie titles are known for being unique and unorthodox. STARWHAL attempts to capture multiplayer madness, but it's more frustrating than fun.

"When you’re meeting new people or hanging out with old friends, sometimes you need a way to break the ice. Time to get out the party games. Hopefully you have a few in your stash newer than You Don't Know Jack. Party games are easy to jump into even for non-gamers. They can create a basis for conversations and help people get to know each other without them having to cycle nervously through a list of canned questions like, “So what do you do for a living?”
