Tecmo's Deception (et. al.)

[Chardok]

I figured you massive nerds would know this better than I (Since I am quite a mediocre nerd)

Are there any games in the style of the Deception series (Or Dungeon Keeper, if you like) that have been release for any of the next-gens? Or even if any of the deception series are available for downloade on Live Arcade or something - More than that: are there any games in that vein currently in the works? I really miss those reppy-type games.

Well, not really next gen, but there is Ghost Master for the Xbox. It's somewhat close-ish to what you're talking about. Sort of a combination of Dungeon Keeper, The Sims, Deception, and Freedom Force.

The only other game I can think of that's "next-gen" and is at all close to that would be Overloard, but that's really more like Pikmin than anything else.

Trapt was the most recent edition of the Deception line for PS2. I have a copy of it somewhere.

EDIT: I'm even nice enough to get a link to the gamespot review. Don't say I never did 'nuffin for you for christmas...

Trapt was... interesting. I played it for a while before I gave it to somebody else. The plot was silly but depressing, once I actually looked up what was happening and who the characters were. The gameplay kept me going for a while, because it IS kind of fun to try and set up a rube goldberg series of lethal pitfalls to see how many times you could knock someone around a room or into the room's deadly lava-wheel-spiked-man-eating-water-clock or whatever.
