$2.49! That’s less than a gallon of gas–at least here in the Seattle area. And Kurulin Fusion is more fun than a gallon of gas, too; it sounds better due to the Bach-inspired soundtrack directed by Nobuo Uematsu, and it’s safer. You don’t even have to wash your hands after playing the game unless you let someone else handle your PSP, which I don’t advise.

So, you might be wondering what the long-time editor of Nintendo Power is doing peddling PSP games? I sometimes wonder about that myself. The truth is I’ve been working with MTO and Tozai Games over the past year with their products and launches. Kurulin Fusion may not shake up the gaming world with innovation, but it’s a solid puzzle game with the added benefit of having Uematsu’s involvement. I encourage you to check it out, and we’re making it easy since we’ve got plenty of review codes. Just give me an e-shout at scott@scottpelland.com and we’ll get you a code.

The game at its regular price of $4.99 is a huge value, but Sony and MTO USA want to spread the word that good things can come in small packages–or no packages at all.
