Which child hasn't dreamed their favourite toy would spring to life then fly them across gaps and chasms, or carry out those tasks that are just out of reach? Which child never fantasised about plucking buildings from their roots and, with nudge of the hand, rearranging them in whatever order they wish - a god of town planning, a king with the power to widen those boundaries adults impose? So it is with Papo & Yo, a PlayStation Store game bursting at the seams with innocent wish-fulfilment. They turn the bullied into the aggressor, the wimp into the champion footballer, and they guarantee we get the girl. They take us backstage at the concert they take us front line in the war. They propel us far into the future they return us to the distant past. They send us soaring into space they mine us deep underground. All video games give life to childhood fantasy.
