The Mousetrap

Since I obviously don't have much time on my hands ( especially with all the shopping, movie-watching and bloogging that I do ), I haven't actually had the chance to catch up on some of the more... intriguing games on the market. Obviously not a significant problem for the happy-go-lucky, career-challenged Strapping Shane.

During on of his many forays into the gaming world, he - and the equally leisurely Dashing Dan - managed to find Trapt, a game amazingly well suited to my abilities.

Playing the deadly Princess Allura who turns hunted fugitive after being accused of slaying her father, this little mistress of entrapment has more than a few devious tricks up her sleeve ( especially after she's been marked by a demonic fiend who demands souls ). Although she appears deceptively fragile and doesn't do much in the game apart from fleeing her dangerously equipped pursuers ( in a shockingly flirtatious hip-swaying run ), our wicked little diva does take the time to set her vicious little traps for her unfortunate enemies. In this gory game of cat and mouse, nasty sadistic traps are certainly guaranteed to poison, maim, decapitate, crush, burn, electrocute - or whatever means there are to inflict as much near-fatal damage on her opponents as possible.


Death by acid rain?
Not much of a plot however - and seriously slow, lumbering enemies who don't seem all that intent on their task of dispatching the treacherous assasinating princess - but still what can I say? Come on, it's a role that's obviously tailor-made for me. Who hasn't thought about siding with the devils as the deliciously evil mastermind creating unholy traps for all those idiotic meddling do-gooders.

Not bad spending New Year's Eve releasing frustration on some unfortunate virtual folks. :)
