Crisis over, and about time
Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a decent compendium of Namco's arcade shooting games but issues with the cursor's accuracy arguably prevented it from reaching its full potential. Now the publisher has released a new, free patch to address the problem, enabling you to blast with full precision.
500 Points for cartoon capers
Abylight's not just about music and samurai tower defence games: its next handheld offering is Cosmo Fighters, a 2D "retro-futurist" fighting game.
Through the wormhole
Excited about Conduit 2? Want to know more about the game's opening sequence from High Voltage Software's Eric Stoll? If you answered "yes" and "sort of" you might want to check out the official SEGA Europe blog giving a little background to the game's introductory cinematic.
Older items restocked too
It's nearly Christmas, and if you've been hoarding your Club Nintendo coins all year-long you might fancy a festive spending spree now, with new items available including patches from Kirby's Epic Yarn and four colourful Wii Remote wrist straps.
Update: Now live in Europe
Not content with offering a free Flash demo of upcoming supernatural puzzler Ghost Trick, Capcom is now giving DS owners in North America a chance to try out the title with a downloadable demo.
All bets are on
We've already had Fantasy Slots: Adventure Slots and Games on WiiWare, and now Big John Games is making the title portable with a DSiWare release on December 27th.
iOS hit could come to 360
iPhone hit Infinity Blade is causing a real stir at the moment, racking up over $1.6m in just four days, but the project was originally conceived as a Kinect title before changing direction and heading to iOS devices.
Sounds, good
If there's one genre the DS never got quite right it's the humble shoot 'em up: while Nanostray and sequel Nanostray 2 were decent outings, they were merely stars in a dark night. 3DS might not suffer the same fate if D3Publisher has its say, as the company announces Dream Trigger 3D for 3DS.
