NEW ARRIVAL!

EXILE 2

A fine sequel building on Middle East mystique as players get to savour a cultured blend between RPG sequences and platform sections. The jump and slash sections are very slickly implemented and not a mere add on. And the unique setting of the RPG comes across in the music and the graphical appearance of players and NPC's. Released as Exile Wicked Phenomenon.

NEW ARRIVAL!

BAKUSHOU YOSHIMOTO NO SHINKIGEKI

A true hidden gem, so forgive the long review. Set in Osaka complete with giant mechanical crab and Glico man, our man Kanpei stars in this platform game with variety levels and humour to match the Goemon series. The variety includes remembering which the prettiest girl on Osaka bridge is after they have jostled position for a one up. Or a dance section or ride on roller coaster both requiring fast reflexes. Or playing paper, scissors, stone and tossing a sizzling okonomiyaki pancake at the loser. Or mole bashing or rodeo riding..? The real peaches though come on the samurai themed level: slicing through bamboo mats or fighting attached to a kite. The platform sections are fun too: a walking stick power up turning you into an old man to beat everyone with the stick, or climbing up ninja grappling ropes, or jumping over raging bulls. The variety sections may require a little bit of Japanese knowledge, but are simple to work out through trial and error. Genki doesn't often compare to the seminal Goemon series, but this is real, tear jerking fun.

NEW ARRIVAL!

GATE OF THUNDER

Play as pilot of the Hunting Dog assisted by power ups from the Wild Cat in the shape of pods to help protect your ship. Heavy metal soundtrack, but no time for head banging apart from against the monitor as relentless waves swarm in to attack. Similar to the MD's Thunderforce and prequel to Winds of Thunder. Some very tidy rotation and parallax effects as Hudson demonstrates its perfect grasp of the Engine architecture with backgrounds that close in on you inducing claustrophobia.

Big in Japan with its addictive blend of railroad building and city development. Good rail infrastructure allows you to ship in raw materials to expand the city and build hotels or ski resorts. But a well planned passenger network is the key to success. Also known as A Ressha de Ikou 3.
