    Tim Burton meets Alice in Wonderland 1

    After the mediocre Genji: Days of the Blade, Japanese developer Game Republic tries again with their second PlayStation 3 title, Folklore. And while they still struggle with many issues in gameplay and presentation, the end result remains enjoyable for anyone interested in an engaging action-adventure with a story deep enough to question the very meaning of death. The game follows the young Ellen and journalist Keats who are both lured into the mysterious village of Doolin, said to be a bridge ...

    Excellent game with some forgivable flaws 0

    Having literally just finished the game about 10 minutes ago, I have to say I'm still kind of staggered. The ending was amazing and tied so much together perfectly. This is one of those games that need to be revisited by all. Something I don't think I've mentioned at all while talking about Folklore these last few blogs is that fact that it uses Six-Axis controls. I know, everyone is probably groaning right now, but I swear, it works perfectly in this game. When you a fighting you use the ...
