Abstract: Once upon a time, many moons ago, I lived on the southern island of Kyushu in Japan. During my two year stint in the land of the rising sun, teaching English and writing about Japans favourite pastime, I spent an unhealthy amount of time, and a bank m...
Spoilt by clumsy hardware, a ropey FPS mode and a range of poorly thought out innovations, this isn't the grand return of the lightgun game we might have hoped for. One for hardcore gun-nuts only....
