I think most of us can agree, the 3DS eShop has not exactly hit the ground running. It missed the consoles launch, then its rescheduled date, then when it did launch it was with a skeleton list of games with the ones you'd actually want to play priced at a premium.

Things will get a bit more interesting soon with the release of Picture Lives!

Picture Lives! looks like a better Drawn to Life, it certainly looks more peculiar. Judge for yourself with the 2 trailers below

I'm still not sure what I make of this 3DS Shinobi. It looks a bit sparse, but then the originals were. The graphics are horrible, but smooth and not in 3D. Strange

Either way I don't think it looks as bad as the rest of the internet seems to think it does, but judge for yourself

If you haven't played the first Puzzle Agent game then now's the time to go and buy it. It's not the best brain teaser ever, but it's certainly one of the oddest, sort of like Twin Peaks except mentally ill, in a harmless way. I say harmless, Puzzle Agent had that sort of 'afraid of clowns' creepiness to it.

Anyway there's a sequel on the way and the trailer is below

After a series of rumours about a new Alan Wake game, developers Remedy felt inclined to release a statement confirming it's existence.

It wont be a full sequel, nor is it just DLC, but beyond that Remedy aren't confirming anything.

The smart money appears to be on a Kinnect spin off game, with the latest talk being for an E3 announcement.

Mark this very much as rumour, but there's talk going round (on Marks Twitter feed) that Bitparade DS favourite The World Ends With You is getting a sequel.

It's apparently due to be announced at E3, and may even be an iPhone game.

There was talk a while back that Square Enix were open to a The World Ends With You sequel, back then it looked Wii bound.

Personally I'm hoping for a 3DS release, or one of the home consoles. Nothing against the iPhone, but I don't tend to play my iDevice for extended periods the way I do my DS for example.

Regardless I really hope this is true, and would buy it on whatever platform it ends up on. And no doubt I'll finish the potential sequel before Mark completes the first game
