Fuck yeah man, fuck yeah.
I spent some time playing video games with 2 of my brothers and my sister in law. We spent most of our time playing Towerfall, but also played Barabariball and Hokra from Sportsfriends. Towerfall was a hit, as usual. Again, the matches were fair and the action was intense. We pulled off some pretty fucking advanced techniques towards the end including lots of last second arrow grabs and skillful head bopping.
It was the first time I played Barabariball with 4 players and it was really cool. Having two teams of two players changes the dynamic a lot, opening up the game with passes, dekes and even some "baiting". One of the four players struggled with the game though, so we moved on to Hokra.
Hokra is a pure sports game. It's not a real sport of course, but it's a sport nonetheless. The goal is to bring the "puck" to your end zone and stay in there as long as possible. There are two players per team. You can pass/throw and tackle. That's it. It actually plays a lot like hockey for the most part because of the passing and the way the puck moves. It was pretty intense and quickly enough, we started forming real strategies. The thumping soundtrack also makes it even more exciting. I love Hokra...
