Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure comes to PC

Talk about a blast from the past. The classic PSP action RPG, Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure, is now on PC digital services thanks to publisher Mastiff. Nihon Falcom's adventure garnered positive reception when it arrived on Sony's portable nearly eight years ago (Cyril really liked it) and now gamers on Steam, GoG and other online stores can enjoy the game for a mere $9.99. The PSP had some pretty obscure games, so I always enjoy seeing digital services give lesser-known gems like this a second life. Now if only we could get Alien vs. Predator ported from the Atari Jaguar.
