Since I’m nearly local, I make an annual journey down to Indianapolis once a year to visit GenCon, one of the largest gaming conventions in the U.S., and one of the most important for board game and role playing game fans.

What follows is a small excerpt of some of the more interesting games I came across. For details on some more obscure titles, visit my photo-centric overview over at the blog Opinionated Gamers.

A Taiko drum looks like a big barrel sitting on its side, and you’ve probably seen a Taiko drum in many movies and games from Japan, even if you didn’t know it! I really enjoy the Taiko drum video games, so here’s an extended review and blog about Namco’s latest!

It’s been a while since I let my inner classic Namco fanboy loose, so here is an extended review and blog about Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions, which was released on 3DS last week. We’ll take a look at each game in the package. Plus, this isn’t the first time that Pac-Man and Galaga have been mixed together, so as a bonus, we’ll look at other games where the two have met.
