So Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper is a T-rated DSiWare game that will apparently have you discovering the true identity of the famed serial killer. I’m calling shenanigans on this.
One, the real-life serial killer is best known for slicing the throats of street walkers before butchering their guts to remove internal organs. I’m pretty sure that last sentence alone would be rated “M” for mature. Second, I’m pretty positive the true identity of the killer has never been established. See? Shenanigans.

I’ll tell you what game I’m not calling shenanigans on — ArtStyle: light trax. I played this sucker back at Nintendo’s media event in February and was absolutely mesmerized by the simple visuals and addictive gameplay. I’ll be buying this today when I get the chance; see anything you like this week?
