I can't believe how much I'm playing Mysterious Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer. (Aka Fuurai no Shiren DS.) It's amazingly fun even though it's really, really hard on the player when they goof up. And trust me, you won't be able to help but goof up. A lot ( Read more... )

Back in the day, there was a great but easily overlooked game for the Dreamcast called Bangai-o (it might have been released here as Bangaioh, I don't remember... and yes, it started as an N64 game, not a DC game, but whatever).

Hrm, this actually looks pretty nice. I've been hesitant to believe that they could make Street Fighter work with 3D in any shape or form after the EX series was so ... blah, but this looks like it has some merit ( Read more... )

I'll leave you to decide if this is really a "virus" or not, but it is totally awesome and incredibly amusing. Watch and laugh. :D
