Mercury Meltdown (Review)

Here's a bunch of brand new screens and a movie from Mercury Meltdown, the sequel to one of the best puzzle games on the PSP. Like Archer Maclean's Mercury, Meltdown will have players tilting each of the stages around in order to guide a blob of mercury around a maze of hazards and obstacles - think Super Monkey Ball, but gone all gooey. Due in stores August 22, Meltdown features a different graphical style in the form of chunky, cleanly-shaded textures and a big fat HUD. Even if this ...
