New Review Posted: Point Blank DS

David Stone reviews Point Blank DS, and has some harsh words for Namco:

"A light-gun shooting game in this day and age is a lot harder to pull off successfully than it was in the 1980s or even the 1990s. The novelty of video simulation has long since worn off. For a game that is basically a one-trick pony, gamers expect a wide variety of modes, a plot (even if it's thinly-veiled) and replayability. A game—a port of a nearly-decade old mostly-forgettable arcade title—with Hogan's Alley's level of depth surely wouldn't be released as a full-priced title, right?

Wrong."

Ouch.

Funny, ouch is the first word that popped into my mind after reading the review!

At least it has some cute screenshots.
