A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Phase 1: Collect Underpants – Ported from WiiWare, 2 Fast 4 Gnomz is a twitch reaction runner, somewhat similar to the Bit.Trip series by comparison, which offers challenging gameplay in manageable bite sized chunks. The goal is to guide an endlessly left-to-right running lawn gnome while avoid all sorts of one-hit kill death traps while […]
The Title Is the Best Thing About This Game – With only one stage that repeats without any variation and a short time limit, Crazy Chicken: Pirates 3D is a one dimensional and pretty terrible shooting gallery downloadable eShop game even for the cheap $1.99 price point. But at least the name makes the game […]
You Shall Not Pass – Holding the 3DS/DSi hardware vertically like a book, Wizard Defenders is a tower defense style game sort of similar to a real time Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. It’s not bad for a $1.99 downloadable title but the sharp difficulty spikes and overall lacking presentation brings down the entire […]
Adorable Visuals, Hollow Gameplay – Held sideways open book style, Cat Frenzy is a match-3 puzzler that mixes gameplay elements from Wario’s Woods, Bejeweled, and Meteos but puts the focus constantly on cuddly cute cat heads and touch screen sliding mechanics. The goal is to line up three of the same kitty faces on a […]
Burn, Baby Burn – Candle Route is a Pied Piper puzzle game that uses the touch screen to guide a flame to a candle while gathering match sticks along the way. With child-like crayon graphics, light hearted personality, and a different take on the puzzle genre, this 200 Point ($2) download is worth a look […]
How Fast Can You Go – With two games available on DSiWare, the AiRace series has established itself as some of the better racing titles for Nintendo’s downloadable service especially with the low price point. This third game, AiRace Speed, is a natural evolution from the previous two titles and offers some twitch high speed […]
Getting Wound Up – Initially released back in the summer of 2009 on DSiWare, Nintendo is currently offering Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! as part of their September 2013 Club Nintendo program. What is normally an $8 downloadable title tastes even sweeter when it is free. Similar to the original GBA title and […]
Atlus has just released a demo of their upcoming Etrian Odyssey Untold to the 3DS eShop. The cool part is, progress made in the demo gets transferred to the full retail version! And like most Atlus games, there are some pretty sweet pre-order bonuses available. Official press release below: It’s time to go exploring in […]
They Are Not Robots And You Don’t Rescue Them – With two games already published on DSiWare, Robot Rescue 3D is a compilation title that combines all the content from the original games with some new stages under a “3D” title. Unfortunately, the tedious nature of this puzzle game often frustrates through trial and error […]
Same As the Sequel – Just like its sequel Heavy Fire: Black Arms 3D, Heavy Fire: Special Ops is a flawed Virtual Cop-type shooting gallery that offers a quick burst of fun for about 5-10 minutes. Black Arms 3D and Special Ops 3D are basically the same exact game only with new stages; they can […]
