Back again for some Robot Punch!, where we exercise the motto: Don’t hate the media; become the media!
Obscure: The Aftermath has just been ported for the PSP, just in time for Halloween! You could indulge in your favorite cult horror Blockbuster rental, why not dive into a survival horror game for a much more interactive experience?
This is my first taste of the Obscure franchise, having missed out on not only the first game, but also the original version of this sequel. I hope to offer a unique view to others who have never had the pleasure, but are curious to give it a try.

Since those photos appeared, HezaChan began spreading to cosplay showcase articles and message boards all over the web.
