Abstract: For those who, like me until recently, have never played a Pikmin game before, the central idea is easy enough to explain, but its apparently simple formula contains a vast wealth of strategic depth. This is a game that has no single correct method for do...

I'm a long-term Pikmin addict, and while I can't deny that at a certain level, Pikmin 3 really is just more of the same, it's delivered so particularly well that I find I can't stop playing it. I've argued the same point about Mario games previously; that...
