Pick of the week: Chrono Trigger (DS)
The flood of blockbusters has almost ended, so now we finally have some time to actually, you know, play some games. Topping this week's releases is Chrono Trigger, a port of one of the best RPGs to grace the Super Nintendo.
This Nintendo DS port is pretty much the same as the original, with little visual, audio, or game play upgrades. Not that that's a bad thing. There are a few changes though, including a new monster battling segment and yet another ending. If you missed the original 13 years ago, this is the perfect opportunity to catch up on a classic. And if you've already played it, well the new ending and portable nature may just warrant yet another playthrough.
There's not much else of note this week, though Sonic Unleashed is hitting the Xbox 360, and Age of Empires: Mythologies brings turn-based strategy to the DS.
