A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A Palette Swap – Bird Mania 3D Christmas is basically the exact same game as the original Bird Mania 3D but with one major difference â online leaderboard support. This one new feature puts this version head and shoulders above the original even though the holiday theme puts a seasonal limit on its overall appeal. […]
Monkeying Around – Banana Bliss: Jungle Puzzles is a very simple and straightforward $4 downloadable 3DS eShop game that has a ton of content and easy pick-up-and-play gameplay. The adorable graphics are matched by the cutesy plot premise â playing as a monkey that cannot jump, you are tasked with bringing all the hearts in […]
A Timeless Link – A Link to the Past (SNES, 1991) is declared as one of the greatest games ever made by gamers around the world. After two decades of waiting, fans now have a true sequel to this original fan favorite but worry not as pretty much everything, from gameplay to technical aspects, have […]
Playing Digital Barbie – Everyone can finally relax because the hotly anticipated Girlsâ Fashion Shoot is now available on 3DS! Feel free to cancel your Halo 5 and Destiny pre-orders because playing a digital pre-teen girly dress up sim will undoubtedly be the game the game of the year for 2013 and 2014. Sorry, yes, […]

Impressing Looking. Bad Controls. – Even with a number of downloadable golf games available on both the DSiWare and eShop services, 101 MiniGolf World is an ambitious and admirable attempt at creating a light hearted digital mini golf experience. The goal is simple â putt your ball from the starting position to the hole at […]
A Bejeweled Clone – Match three shapes of the same color to make them disappear, opening up the possibility of combos, and make room for new pieces to fall in their place â it is the puzzle game gameplay technique that has been used by many and is tried-and-true. Super Swap! is basically a simplified […]
Simple Gameplay. Tons of Content. Lesson in Frustration. – Puzzle games are rather difficult to create as players need to be challenged but not pushed to the point of rage-quitting frustration. Unfortunately, 1001 Crystal Mazes Collection has an overwhelming amount of content but this is clearly a lesson in quantity over quality. There are dozens […]
Undercooked – Like Crazy Chicken: Pirates 3D, Crazy Chicken: Directorâs Cut 3D is a rerelease of the original lightgun DSiWare shooter only with poorly implemented stereoscopic 3D support. The inclusion of online leaderboards is a step forward but with only two levels and no way to lose, Directorâs Cut 3D is a short lived one-trick […]
Pull Your Balls. Shoot Your Balls. – Ball Fighter is a simple puzzler that uses a typical match-3 style of gameplay and was originally released as a PC title then later ported to DSiWare in late 2009. Unfortunately, the basic and bland gameplay feels like work as opposed to having that addictive âjust one moreâ […]
