LIT was a great survival horror type wii ware game. Not sure if it's possible to get it now since it was only available on the shopping channel.

No prob. It also had the best use of the crappy speaker built into the controller ever.

another code r. True hidden gem. That company was doomed to failure from the start fighting the uphill battle. They went defunct, and not many have heard of them, but they still made a great unique game. Check out there only wii game.

I wasn't aware they made a sequel to Trace Memory. I'll be checking this out!

S'up Doc?

I'm glad that you said something...I had no clue that it was 'related' to Trace Memory.

5/20's sure taking it's sweet time getting here; huh  :'(

Ever play/finish Koudelka!?

Tell me about it.  Once that boxed set arrives on my doorstep, I'm disappearing for a week. I don't even care if I get fired. Paychecks are for the weak. 8)

Still haven't made much progress in Koudelka, I'm afraid. I think my jerry-rigged PS2 is finally dying, not just the laser, like last time. I've been trying to get it to run on my PS3 with no luck. I really need to replace my systems soon. If my PS3 dies on me in the middle of Drakengard 3, I'm rioting.

So this game never released in the US, correct?  From looking into it I see that it & Trace Memory are both set in the same universe as Hotel Dusk and supposedly have similar gameplay as it.  My wife *loved* hotel dusk - I bought Trace Memory for her recently not knowing a lot about it except that it seemed like her type of game, but she hasn't played it yet.  I'm sure once I tell her about its Hotel Dusk connection, she will.  But she'll also want to play this one at some point, I'm sure - so if it's UK only, gonna have to find a way to import.  :-\

Maybe she'd like Trauma Center - do you guys have it and/or ever played it?

Nope, what's it play like?  For some reason I always assumed it was more-or-less the board game Operation w/ a Wiimote.  :P

It's been so long since I played it, but, now that I think about it - I played it on the DS NOT the Wii...

Really really love the visual novel hybrid games like that. Fantastic they need more instead of this call of duty crap. Yeah it's only europe but you should be happy it's in english, that's already a god blessing. Playing langrisser 3 reading the script online was a real pain in the balls.

I have the first 2 trauma center games. My wife and I enjoy them. The second is more fun to us because we can play 2 player simultaneous co-op.

Trauma Team is in my wishlist.

The story is also entertaining in an Anime B-Movie sort of way.

It starts out that way but quickly diverges into something much more. Both games are actually sci-fi action/puzzle games.
