PS2 Black Cat LE JPN
 PS2 Black Cat: Kakaishikake no Tenshi LE - New Import
«©NCSX» Train Heartnet is an elite assassin turned bounty hunter who carries a gun known as Hades. When Train was an assassin for the secretive Chronos cabal, he earned the nickname of Black Cat because he was bad luck for anyone that he targeted.

   The PS2 Black Cat game features an original story where Train and Eve are the main characters. Eve is a teenager who has been gifted with injected nanotechnology which allows her to manifest weapons from her body parts and grow lily white wings. The game features 3D exploration as well as point 'n click shooting action when enemies are encountered.

   The limited edition of Black Cat includes a 1/2 scale Hades gun which measures approximately 15cm (5.90") long and a set of 4 postcards featuring artwork of the characters from the game. All the goodies ship in a big rectangular box. 
 
 

PS2 Gunparade Orchestra 2 JPN
 PS2 Gunparade Orchestra Midori no Shou - New Import
«©NCSX» The second salvo in the Gunparade Orchestra trilogy features more escapades at a not-so-average high school where trainees defend the school and the city they're in from invaders known as Genju. The action consists of interactive scenarios, going to class, and 3D run 'n gun action where the player takes direct control of a deft and agile student soldier who's outfitted in a nimble suit of armor.  

   The first Gunparade Orchestra featured a waddling penguin as the school mascot since it was winter. As GPO Midori no Shou opens up, the birds are singing, the insects are wheezing, and spring is literally in the air. The new mascot is a raggedy white cat who calmly pads around the school as the world whirls around it.

   Similar to the first game, the defense forces consist of teenage soldier who head out to battle as soon as they're of age. The interaction scenarios that take place at school serve to reinforce relationships with fellow students. The stronger the bond between students, the more they'll cooperate like a cohesive force during missions. <NCS Game Notes>
 

 

 

PS2 IGPX JPN
 PS2 Immortal Grand Prix - New Import
«©NCSX» Uz Riccaro, Takeshi Jinno, and Amy Stapleton make up Team Satomi, a troupe of racers who don speedy mecha suits and compete in blazing marathons against an opposing troupe of racers.

   The camera pans down on two teams of three racers each and the speedsters throttle out of the starting gate and onto undulating and steep curving tracks. The aim of the game is to lead your team to the finish line first while punching and grappling with opponents on the tracks. The camera keeps close tabs of the action as racers weave in and out to perform their attacks and bear hugs. Bear hugs are used to clamp onto an opponent and then knock it down into the track. Combo attacks with team members may also be pulled off while throttling and handling opponents. As races are won and credits earning, mechs may also be customized by with new parts to enhance performance. The courses are a varied lot with desert tracks, industrial areas, and other metal grey tracks that inspire thoughts of a futuristic dystopia. Slow motion sequences are interspersed with the racing action for a dramatic experience as opponents are knocked for a loop or sent to the sidelines. <NCS Game Notes>
 
 

PS2 Shinobido Takumi JPN
 PS2 Shinobido Takumi - New Import
«©NCSX» Goh the Crow reprises his role as a shadowy assassin who infiltrates the estates of daimyo with murderous ambition. That's not his only assignment since Spike collected over 100 of the best fan-created missions, unused material from Shinobido Imashime, and professionally designed levels from Spike's own creative staff.

   The themes vary widely in the plentiful missions and range from standard assassination runs, courier service, kidnapping, rescue missions, thievery, and infiltration. Goh even finds himself in comedic situations and may even find love with a geisha. In one mission, Goh is sent against the Bear Brothers ninja who provide a tough challenge. In another mission, Goh has to spelunk into a mountain area to rescue a hapless princess, and another has him absconding gold from the treasury of a city.  

   Goh has a wide selection of moves at his disposal such as wall walking, roof climbing, jumping attacks, running tumbles, dodging rolls, throwing ninjas, and stealth kills known as "Chimatusri Satsuho" where an unwary enemy is eviscerated with a single killing stroke. <NCS Game Notes>
 
 

PSP Lemmings EUR
 PSP Lemmings - New Import
«©NCSX» According to Pembroke scholars scullery maids, lemmings are legendary followers. Looking straight ahead and never to the side nor the rear, the rodents march in straight lines akin to an unthinking serpentine horde. Legend has it that lemmings are so straightforward that they'd all march into the sea if given the chance.

   Fifteen years after NCS booted the original Lemmings game on an Amiga 2000 computer with a massive 80 meg hard drive, Lemmings do their thing once again on the crisp and cozy confines of the PSP. The little green-haired rodents march in unrelenting zombie-like fashion and one must guide them in a godlike manner to salvation. By using a cross-hair cursor, select special functions for your lemmings so they can blow up obstacles, dig tunnels, climb, build platforms, and even float like an angel from great heights. For example, one level may require that a big rocky obstacle be blown up by a sacrificial lemming to allow passage for its kinsmen. Next, one or more lemmings may be charged with the construction of a bridge so that fellow rodents may walk their way across a deep and deadly chasm to eventual escape.

   The PSP version features a total of 156 stages of which 36 are new and exclusive to Sony's handheld. Lemmings also includes a medley of new background music and four difficulty levels
 

 

 

X360 Conveni 200X JPN
 X360 Conveni 200X - New Import
«©NCSX» Convenience stores are the natural consequence of cities and subcultures that never sleep. Battle hardened World of Warcraft addicts can always rely on the local 7-11 or The Pantry to be open at 4AM in the morning after a particularly grueling gaming session. Similarly, night owls with a case of the munchies can also get their fix when the hunger pangs hit in the middle of the night.

    In The Conveni 200X, gamers get a chance to open their own chain of convenience stores and serve a population of salarymen, families, scary otaku, and assorted locals who provide mass foot traffic. Players decide the store design, which items to stock, advertising, operating hours, and all the other choices that determine the versatility and... convenience... of a convenience store. As the general manager, players have the opportunity to oversee the entire machine and tweak when things need fixing. Two rival convenience store chains are also a factor in the game and one must outmaneuver the competition before they steal all of your foot traffic. As you grow and continue to succeed, it is also possible to buy out your competitors and expand your reach with their stores.
