There’s a lot of interesting stuff in there — and some not-so-interesting stuff. The new shooters from Siter Skain and Astro Port definitely piqued my interest. As did thatLimboclone. But far and away my favorite game in the bunch isilluCalab’sMaboroshihashi Sky Drift, the racer withTouhoucharacters surfing on top of one another. Good lord, that has to get localized. Please bug Playism (who recently published the same developer’sTakkoman) and Nyu Media until that happens.
