Puchi Eva: Evangelion Game - New Import, In Stock

Far from the battlefields of the original Evangelion serial, Asuka, Rei, and Shinji are no longer under the daily duress of Angel strikes.

Mini games pepper the storyline to break up the tedium of digital conversation.

Armored Core 4 For Answer - New Import, In Stock

Ten years after the events of Armored Core 4, the Ravens return for more carnage and warfare. Game features in "for Answer" include cooperative online missions with voice chat support, a new Easy Mode for beginners, the use of an "Assault Armored" mech which can create a local area explosion to damage adversaries, and machinery called "Vanguard Over-Booster" which appears to be a mighty thrust mechanism which bolts onto the back of an Armored Core.

AC4 Answer introduces the Arms Forts which are megalithic robot structures which span a distance larger than a city square. Since a single Raven is like a gnat to such a monstrosity, the proper way to destroy an Arms Fort is by piecemeal destruction where it is dismantled chunk by chunk and section by section. An Arms Fort is no sitting patsy - it's heavily armed and will attack with a massive arsenal of missiles and artillery capable of razing entire cities, much less a single Raven.

Mugen Kairou - New Import, In Stock

Mugen Kairou takes the age-old adage of "Perception is Reality" to a whole new level with perspective puzzles that literally make perception reality. By using the d-pad or the analog nub of the PSP, players rotate, pivot, and adjust the view of simple constructs that are crafted from straight lines. Each level consists of a structure such as a convoluted walkway attached to a staircase upon which a humanoid wanders.
Before the proper game begins, some exercises show the five laws of the world of Mugen Kairou (aka Echochrome) as follows:

1. Perspective Traveling - Change the perspective and clear the path - what you see becomes the truth.
2. Perspective Landing - The character will land on whatever appears to be below his present location.
3. Perspective Existence - If there is a gap between two paths, blocking the gap from view basically erases it.
4. Perspective Absence - Hide the obstruction from view and it no longer exists and won't serve as an obstacle any more.
5. Perspective Jump - Where you want to jump is up to you by positioning the ledge or precipice above the character.

By moving the structure on each level, simple and not-so-simple objectives are accomplished and conquered. «Full Game Synopsis»

Deca Sporta - New Import, In Stock

Hudson barges in onto the Wii with a casual sports game that features ten events. The word "casual" is apt here because the games are meant to be light and non-intensive fare although the Curling game is excellent and engaging. The ten games included are as follows:

Archery / Uses a 3-step process to pull back on the bow, aim, and fire
Badminton / Challenging and somewhat monotonous racquet action
Basketball / 3-on-3 full court round ball where it's very easy to steal
Beach Volleyball / 2-on-2 game built on the Badminton engine
Curling / In our opinion, the best game in Deca Sporta
Figure Skating / Use both nunchuk and Wiimote to skate around a rink
Kart Racing / No-frills racing game with horizontal Wiimote control
Snowboard Cross / Very straightforward downhill boarding
Soccer / Reminds us of the olden days of Amiga soccer sims
Supercross / Dirt bike hijinx on an undulating course

A more detailed description of each event and our thoughts may be viewed on our full product page for Deca Sporta.

Armored Core 4 For Answer - New Import, In Stock

Ten years after the events of Armored Core 4, the Ravens and their corporate masters return for more carnage and warfare. Game features in "for Answer" include cooperative online missions with voice chat support, a new Easy Mode for beginners, the use of an "Assault Armored" mech which can create a local area explosion to damage adversaries, and machinery called "Vanguard Over-Booster" which appears to be a mighty thrust mechanism which bolts onto the back of an Armored Core.

AC4 Answer introduces the Arms Forts which are megalithic robot structures which span a distance larger than a city square. They can be described as cities themselves since they're populated by workers, soldiers, and are stocked with all manner of weaponry on board. Since a single Raven is like a gnat to such a monstrosity, the proper way to destroy an Arms Fort is by piecemeal destruction where it is dismantled chunk by chunk and section by section. An Arms Fort is no sitting patsy however. It's heavily armed and will attack with a massive arsenal of missiles and artillery capable of razing entire cities, much less a single Raven. One of the Forts looks like the SDF-1 from the Macross series and is similarly transformable.
