Last week's list offered a handful of gaming gems that are now being offered for mere change but definitely don't deserve to be thrown into the bargain bin. This time around, we're going to see similar games, most of them calling forth fond memories of old school arcade gaming. Here's a clue: Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins. Capcom arcade games. Mega Man. Reminiscing now? Hit the full article for the list.

This is for Taito's Exit. What does a burning building and the task of safely escorting the people in it outside got to do with an old couple fighting it out to death with a tabby cat over cooked fish? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it's simply glorious that way. Check out the full article to see for yourself what has got to be the wackiest, unadulterated videogame commercial as of late. Remember, don't expect a connection!

So, you've just beaten EXIT. You've managed to out-think your way past the first 70 levels this escape game has to offer, unlocked the next 30, and yeah, you even managed to beat all 100 of the extra downloadable levels featured at the main website. Congratulations.

But before you pat yourself on the back and move on to the more puzzle-intensive Kangaeru Exit, we've got news for you guys who think you've beaten the game's first installment. Famitsu magazine just announced that Taito's made a new tie-up with several institutes over in Japan that carry game programming/design courses.

The deal goes that students in these courses are going to be designing a total of 150 new stages for EXIT, and while we don't know the names of the institutes that'll be covering these custom stages, we've enclosed screen shots of the stages in development, which will be due out this November 24. Exit, stage left.

 

So Kangaeru Exit is set to be released on the 7th of September, yet Gamewatch gives us more things to expect from the second installment for the famous puzzle game, Exit. For this game, there are two more helpers for Mr. ESC. The first one is the Dog. The Dog can go to places where Mr. ESC cannot enter. It is more agile and is able to jump to far places. The dog will be able to help Mr. ESC get to those hard to reach places. Another aide to Mr. ESC is Macho. Macho stands by his name. He's a strong guy who can push things that are too heavy for Mr. ESC. Having Macho around saves you a lot of trouble with those big boxes and those muscular and tough activities (like climbing the rope).

For this update, there are also five new tools to help you around in the game. There are already escalators in the game, as one of the new ways of going up or down. A Human Rope Way is another trick which lets you travel from one distance to another. It lets Mr. ESC, macho, and some of his aids to glide the ropeway and onto the next screen. Another tool is the double shutter which lets you switch from one floor to another. A barrel is another tool that you can use in solving puzzles. And lastly, a one-way change door allows you to operate or finish particular puzzles the moment you figure out how the one way change door operates.

Now, there's lots of heroes out there. We have the super alien who basically has to get out of the atmosphere to hear a world's cry for help. There's that anti-social human who enjoys lurking in his cave and use uber expensive tools to save his crime-ridden city. Then there is Mr. ESC, who seems to be trapped in a crumbling town and needs your help so that he can get out and save the world. Some super hero, right? But our beloved hero is definitely out to bring justice to all if you only make him escape in his new game, Kangaeru Exit, which translates to "Think Exit!". This is the second game for the Exit series for the PSP.

So what does the game teach us? It teaches us how to be crafty! This is a puzzle game which lets you push some boxes and work some brain muscle in order to get Mr. ESC out of the room. With the building crumbling, you have to think fast for you will only have a limited number of time in an area. Other than that, whenever you rescue a person in that room, you can also use that person (or animal, in some levels) to help you get out of that room. You can also use items to help you get out of the level.

The game is a classic puzzle game that many of us spend nights solving. And with 110 puzzles for us to solve, it might make insomniacs out of us. The game is set for release in Japan on September.

Boys and girls, listen up! It's time to stock up on DS and PSP Games because Circuit City is having an early summer sale for all the videogame junkies out there.

I'm "Escape Consigner". —————————————————————->

Once consigned, I will escape from any situation, rescuing people from all kinds of dangerous places. Nothing is impossible to me. People call me "Mr. ESC" for that.
