Recently I bought a game called "Legend of Kay", it is a platformer that involves a ninja cat that has too stop an eveil gorilla and rat from taking over the world. The gameplay is solid with fun moves and tight controls, it has a relatively decent difficulty, and spyro-like graphics. The reason I bought it was because it looked half-decent and I decided to give the little guy some help.
In a game world filled with popular sequels, and crappy movie games the smaller more original companies are getting quashed. I had never even heard of the Legend of Kay before yet it was a fun game that was better quality then alot of stuff from say EA.
All I am saying is that the next time you're in EB or Wal-mart or where ever you buy games have a look at some stuff you have never heard of and give it a try. You could be pleasently surprised.
Until Next.
