Three Atelier Iris games within two years and yet few who so eagerly put the boot in EA's sequel-spitting loins have cried foul. Partly that's because we're not used to cash cows arriving in the form of quirky Japanese alchemy RPGs, a genre in which it's perhaps harder to reuse art, assets and story from debut to sequel. But also, there's undoubtedly a romance to the idea of a small-time development studio nestled somewhere in the heart of the Nagano Prefecture working hard to improve their craft game by game.

As you've probably established by now, we - like most other right-minded gamers - are rather fond of Guitar Hero. Time and time again, we'll go back to the old favourites from the first two games, particularly with the addition of co-op play and the bewildering sense of accomplishment that accompanies every successful phrase still awes us to this day. Even most of the best games out there aren't getting played for nearly two years solidly after release, testament, if it was needed, to the outstanding quality of Harmonix's titles.
