Fading Shadows lurks into retailers this week

Whoops, looks like our weekly release calendar for this week was wrong. Fading Shadows, a PSP-exclusive puzzle game, is sneaking into retail stores this week. The surprise announcement doesn't bode well for those that want to actually find and purchase the game -- expect this to be quite the niche title. Also, Gamestop's listing for the game calls it an "exclusive" for the chain, meaning you'll most likely be unable to find it anywhere other than Gamestop. Good luck trying to find it -- it's a charming game, but we wonder if you'll even be able to get your hands on it.

I've read that the load times are quite long, but it does look like a game I'd enjoy.

for some reason, i read this as "Linger in Shadows" (dont ask why lol) .Linger in Shadows was that one tech demo for PS3 that had that one weird dog

But anyways, to stay on topic, I'll probably pick this up soon. Looks interesting
