Almost every game that tries to go in the other direction...

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 2 , Nintendo Wii , Puzzle , Strategy , Competitive Gaming , Casual What do you get when you cross a board game with an RPG and toss in a heavy dosage of Japanese anime influence? A huge mess, LOLZ! Okay, seriously, if you mix things together right and stir liberally with the Wiimote, you'd get Dokapon Kingdom . It also doesn't hurt if you're a video game developer, like...
