Nordcurrent | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

Atlus just really, really, really wants to take over your gaming life this year. Between the amazing amount of RPG goodness we’re seeing across multiple platforms (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona and Demon’s Souls ftw!), finding time to do normal stuff such as breathe, eat or take a bathroom break is becoming quite a challenge.

With101 in 1 Explosive Megamix for the Nintendo DS, Atlus reaches a new low. A new low price point, that is. Retailing for a mere twenty dollars, this is a great deal for value conscious gamers on the go as well as any fan of mini-games galore. This budget priced collection (of yes, 101 different mini-games) is addictive and amusing, absolutely offering up some of the best fun you’ll have on the handheld without a licensed character in sight. Designed for pick up and play action (and often quite challenging), it’s a near perfect diversion for those otherwise dull commutes, waiting rooms or anywhere else you can tote that DS or DSi.
