Baito Hell 2000 Hurrah!

Genki was overjoyed to recently see Baito Hell 2000 is getting a reprint. A good couple of years after its original release it was a very pleasant surprise to see its not just Genki which pine for its charms. Think of the Wario Ware series, but set as a series of part time jobs, some based on the monotony of the real world, some based on a seemingly alternate reality.
Vast variety of mini games as the PSP potential is firmly focussed on fiun

Intriguing project that exudes Sony chic on the PSP. Basically a compilation of mini games pulled together on the premise of the rise in part-time work in modern Japan. Players save their very hard-earned cash to buy strange gashapons in the hope of unlocking another job, whilst chatting to their fellow part-time friends via the in game emails to pick up tips. An initial four games are available: catching baseballs to try and get up to a thousand. Putting pen caps on Biro's with an unhinged soundtrack to really feel the daily grind and mess with your sanity. Crossing the road frogger style avoiding the high speed cars. Finally counting pedestrians as they dart across a busy street. All executed with great style. A surprising unknown cracker in the PSP world. Roll on November!
