Usually, when the world needs saving, it calls on something boring like a young farmhand who hasn’t realized his destiny. Yawn. Tornado goes in a unique direction and uses a group of super cats who can turn into tornados to save the Earth. ...

If you’d prefer to work for your Pokemon, then Bokura wa Kaseki Holder (translated as ‘We Are Fossil Holders’) is for you. This dino-baiting Poke-’em-up asks you to build your prehistoric war beasts from scratch. ...

Let’s face it; most of us didn’t buy a 360 so we could play as a gardener for a bunch of sweet-filled paper animals. Which would suggest why not many of you could be bothered to give it a go last time around. But then, that’s your loss because it means you’ve missed out on one the most original, strangely addictive games of recent years.

Since Puzzle Quest, we’ve been dying to see more plot heavy puzzle games, and Brave: Shaman’s Challenge might give us our much-needed fix this Fall. The game promises to blend a deep story with Puyo Pop-esque puzzles. Don’t know what that means? Never played Puyo Pop? For shame. Well let’s kill two birds with one stone.

Wait a second, don't run away! Yes we know, the Neopets name might sting like poisoned gasoline but hear us out. You like Puzzle Quest, right? You like going on quests, busting gems to gain mana for spells, buying items and all that fantasy crap that made an already addictive game downright irresistible, right? Thought so. And that's exactly why you're going to like ...

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! ...
