This week the Capcom Store is featuring Neopets Puzzle Adventure as the Deal Of The Week. You can download the PC version or get the DS version for only $14.99!
I only have 50 units of the DS version at this price so sellout risk is high!
If you like Othello/Reversi you'll love this game.

Sure it's October 19, 2009 and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts was released almost 18 years ago, but it's never too late for a review! Besides, it's almost Halloween. Website Lens of Truth recently decided to review this Capcom classic, giving it an 8.5 out of 10 in spite of its insane difficulty level:
Capcom took full advantage of the Super NES and created the best looking and sounding Ghouls' N Ghosts game in all the land. There are shifting landscapes, tidal waves, avalanches, and enough screen rotation and transparency to keep any 2D fan happy. Both sections of the Ghost Ship and snow stages are some of my favorite stages in Super GnG, though all seven are great.
I do agree with them, however, that it totally bites that you can't shoot up or down whilst jumping anymore. It's still a blast (and challenge) to play. Don't forget that the game is currently available on the Wii's Virtual Console and the PSP (as part of Capcom Classics Reloaded, available for download on the PSN).
The first reviews are coming in for the PC version of Resident Evil 5 and IGN has given it a 9.3 out of 10, saying:
The PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode. While the addition of costumes is somewhat minor, and you may require a few upgrades to your computer to take full advantage of what the game has to offer, you're exploring a great story and excellent gameplay. Plus, the inclusion of 3D is a harbinger of what gaming will probably become, and the effect is extremely nice if you have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
I've been lucky enough to play the game as well,
and it is gorgeous. I highly recommend checking it out
when it ships out on September 15th.
Turns out that Contra Costa Times writer Gieson Cacho is a big fan of the Ace Attorney series. Not only did he get a chance to play Ace Attorney Investigations during the show, but he also took advantage of Eshiro-san's appearance at Comic-con to grill him. Check out Gieson's reactions to the new game (which we showed in English for the first time at the Con) here.

After much fanfare
and patient waiting, Bionic
Commando is almost upon us. To celebrate the
release of Nathan "Radd" Spencer's first 3D adventure,
we've teamed up with our buddies at Sony to drop the
price on Bionic Commando: Rearmed on the PlayStation
Network for a limited time. BC:R was one of the top-rated
digitally downloaded games of last year and received
much
love from reviewers around the globe. Now this
gem can live on your North American PlayStation 3 for a
puny $4.99!
Xboxers, don't fret. The XBLA version of Bionic Commando: Rearmed will also go on sale on LIVE for 400 starting on May 25. Lucky Europeans actually get to take advantage of this price drop today.
You're obligated to pick this one up in order to experience my second-favorite Capcom game of all time. Also, if you're kicking around the idea of getting Bionic Commando when it releases on Tuesday, May 19, keep in mind that there's a couple cool things that unlock in the "big" game if you have the "little" game.
More about BC:R directly from the keyboard of Ben Judd on the awesome PlayStation blog.
Need a REAL game for the Wii? How about Okami?
Not only is it a real game and about the best value for your money you'll find - imaginative, stylish, fun, and lots of it, 60 hours anyone? - but according to IGN it is also the one of the BEST GAMES for taking advantage of that WiiMote.
What more could you ask for?
