There’s been a lot of negative talk about the 3DS launch of late.

Yuji Naka’s new title hits the Wii thanks to Rising Star Games. But can it match the esteemed Director’s past games?

One of my favourite activities is searching for gaming bargains; I also love to tell others about great games they may have missed out on.

Just a quick note, all prices and links were correct when I originally posted this article so apologies if they change in the mean time or go out of stock!
FFCC Crystal Bearers
Square Enix’s spin-off of their Crystal Chronicles series (itself a spin-off of the main Final Fantasy games) was a beautiful adventure game. While it was a little on the short side it was great fun while it lasted and well worth a look.

I’ve always preferred stylised games to those that try to replicate reality, and MadWorld is about as stylised as they come. It’s also a lot of fun!

Nintendo’s 2008 line-up was lean to say the least, but this little gem made it into the Christmas line-up and almost made up for it. It’s a shame it wasn’t released in the US as this was an entertaining game, despite its flaws.
