The 3DS is lacking when it comes to both first and third person shooters. While Renegade Kid has responded to the First-Person Shooter question, the Third -Person Shooter now has it's own response with VD-Dev's Ironfall: Invasion. However, it's best to temper your expectations, as Ironfall is just slightly above average.

The original La-Mulana released 10 years ago back in 2005, and it was a love letter to the classic MSX action adventure games from that era. Years later in 2011, it was remade with a more modern look on the Wii for Wiiware. Although it wasn't originally localized, it did make it's way to the West about a year later on Windows, before finally making the jump on the Wii. Albeit it was missing the Hell Temple content due to NOA's strict requirements regarding DLC. Now, the game has been ported as a Playstation Vita Game. In it's new EX form, the game now has a portable solution. While it doesn't add much new to the game, it's still a great way to play it, and the additions are a nice bonus.

Sometimes you just have to let your morbid curiosity get the better of you and take the plunge into something that internet spouts hyperbole about. And sometimes it pays to be your own judge. Such is the case with ecchi puzzle/dating sim HuniePop, as this game is actually pretty fun. Although it does a few things to try to set itself from it's counterparts, it's has one design decision that hurts it a bit.

Much like it's predecessor ef- A Fairy Tale of the Two, eden* is a visual novel released by minori only a year after ef- The Latter Tale, in 2009. The visual novel also localized recently by the efforts of MangaGamer. Unlike ef, the story does not have erotic content and is on Steam. However an 'adult-content' patch called PLUS+MOSAIC was made that added extra optional scenarios with the erotic content there, albeit in a censored fashion like in ef. Setting that aside, eden* is a decent story, although it's not as good as it could have been. Then again, ef might have been a hard act to follow.

While ef-A Fairy Tale of the Two is actually two titles which have been available since 2012 and 2013(although the visual novel originally released in 2006 and 08 respectively), recently both volumes have been re-released as a physical hard copy bundle. And like the title suggests, it's a quite the tale.

It's been a long time since any game similar to Princess Maker was released in English to the PC gaming world. And while Littlewitch Romanesque isn't a sim-life game, It does share a few similarities in a number of ways. Part-puzzle-game/Visual Novel hybrid, this little gem is an entertaining experience. Originally released in Japan in 2005, after ten years, it's finally in the hands of English speaking players...

Kara no Shojo actually released a year ago to English Audiences through MangaGamer, but in light of the release of Cartagra and the upcoming release of Kara no Shojo 2, they thankfully gave me a code for review to properly address the series. While it doesn't possess the streamlining that Cartagra does, it's still an interesting detective story to experience.

Cartagra's setting takes place in Japan during the 1950's, post World War II. Japan is still recovering, but there are still many towns and cities that are poor, while the rich seemingly do nothing but get wealthier. Poor people get poorer and struggle to deal with making it in this environment. Takashiro Shugo is one such individual. He is a former soldier who used to be a police detective following the war, now he is doing a bunch of odd jobs for money. His former Chief asks him to perform an investigation at the request of an important man. This takes him to the city of Ueno. His task is to search for a missing person. Soon after beginning the investigation, a series of grisly murders take place. Of course Shugo agrees to investigating this as well, thinking the other case might have ties to his missing person.

When this game was released in Japan back in 2013 and it looked like a localization was not going to happen, fans grew a bit disheartened. Seeing as Tales of Innocence R had already been passed for localization, almost all hope had been lost. But thankfully, it got greenlit and has finally made it's way over Westward. But not without some sacrifices made to the localization. Thankfully the game is still a great experience worth checking out.
