2008 review – a year full of games!

Another year is almost over and we’ve recently launched some exciting new websites for our latest releases – Wii Music and Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City on Wii and Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness on DS.  But with all the excitement surrounding the Christmas season, it’s easy to forget the great games that landed in our laps and on our consoles during the rest of 2008. Naturally, it would be impossible to mention everything, so we’ve decided to highlight a few of the titles that we‘d have been more than happy to find in Santa’s stocking – you can find out more details by clicking the links!
