January 23, 2012

If you’ve got little ones, and you want them to learn while they play, you’re in for a good week this week with Nintendo. Everyone else will have to make do with not much. 3DS owners can look forward to: Virtual Console: Balloon Kid (€3.00/ £2.70 (UK Only)). Ambassadors already…

Ash 2/iPad/JRPG

For those who bemoan the “death” of the JRPG here’s some good news for you; Ash 2: Shadows is great fun. It’s equal parts slavish devotion to the formula and self referential humour, but throughout it’s guaranteed to delight. The secret is in the presentation. In looking like an RPG…

Review: Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (PSN)

Klonoa/Namco Bandai/PlayStation One/Retro/Reviews
