Knee-jerk reviews after ten minutes' play-time. As is only right and proper.
Last week Capcom revealed one of its strongest lineups in ages during the Captivate 08 event (we briefly talked about it on TalkRadar). The embargos have lifted and now we're able to say what we saw, what we played and what totally stole the show (it surprised the hell out of us, that's for sure). We'll be adding links throughout the day, so read on!
The other day the folks from Majesco came by and took us through a whirlwind of games in development, mostly aimed at the younger crowd or family-friendly party scene. We’ve got a lot to talk about so let’s get cracking.

A while back we gave our initial impressions of the game, and recently we got some hands-on time with it. After wandering the halls of an asylum full of disturbing creatures, we can safely answer the question with "Yes, it's
There's a lot, a lot going against Dementium: The Ward. A new developer, Renegade Kid. A new publisher, Gamecock. An untested, mature genre on a mainstream, family-friendly handheld. Sounds like a recipe for gameplay that's more disturbing than its horror-hospital subject matter. But despite this three-pronged attack, the game seems like a genuinely interesting attempt at putting a Silent Hill-style adventure on the DS.
