I've just youtubed that Tokyo Jungle.

It looks ace but utterly bonkers!

What's it about? Can't work out if it's a beatem up, a strategy game or a platformer!

The year is 20XX (that year again) and for some reason all the humans in Tokyo have disappeared and there's only animals left to fend for themselves. I'm sure this is all explained in the story but I can't read Japanese.

It's a mix of all three really!

Today I purchased Project Zero 2 and One Piece Unlimited Cruise 1 for the Wii. Pleased with them both, especially with the One Piece as I already have the second part and they're both @ £40 each S/H, managed to get them both for £22 a piece. God knows how much they're going to cost once they slip into the retro zone. Project Zero 2 I'd buy if it was just a straight port, one of my favourite games ever, but with a special Wii sub-game it was a must buy.

Found these goodies waiting for me to day.

Find of the week goes to Mana Khemia which I found at CEX for £12. Not an absolute bargain but to be honest I was chuffed enough that it was the PAL region UK version.

The 'item of interest' prize goes to Streetfighter Zero. It comes with a d-pad cover and I specifically aimed for the Jp mailorder version to get it. A few reviews of shmups suggest that the controls on the psp pad are not precise enough. Personally, I think it's fine. This d-pad cover is supposed to remedy it. It's probably wasted on my meagre skills!

Thats a nice lot of PSP games. Before getting the Vita I used that D Pad attachment with my PSP and it made a world of difference to certain games (especially Alpha 3), it made it so much easier to pull of moves and combo's.

I had that once but I ended up flogging it on ebay because I already have the PAL PS2 version. Think I only got £9.25 for it though looking back at my ebay history. I couldn't decide whether to keep it or not but since I had already completed the PS2 version, I couldn't see myself playing the handheld port as well, as much as I liked the game. Definitely not a title you see around a lot though. The copy I owned and sold was the only one I've ever seen in the wild.

This week I've just pre-ordered the Dead or Alive 5 Special Edition for PS3. Trying not to buy too many games to be honest.

Just picked up Prototype for the 360, £2 off a carboot, the cheapest I've seen any half-decent 360 game, figured it must be going in the likes of Grainger Games for £4 or something so meh. Turns out they're selling it for £10 as is CEX, so colour me chuffed.
