"Rising Star Games have become synonymous with those quintessentially Japanese videogame treats that otherwise may have never made their way to European shores. The sweet, inviting world of the classic Harvest Moon series and pleasing guilt involved in commanding your loyal (or perhaps, not so loyal) followers in Little King’s Story is regularly contrasted with the dark, grimy labyrinths of JU-ON: The Grudge or the under-appreciated Nintendo DS First-Person Shooter, Moon."

Not too much to note this week, though a couple of gems stand out: Suda 51's (No More Heroes, Killer 7) Flower, Sun and Rain on DS, and Let's Tap, an innovative game set from Yuji Naka's (Sonic) Prope studio.

The latter game utilizes a control scheme whereby the Wii controller is placed on a flat surface in order to detect small vibrations; tapping the surface, then, serves as your input.
