A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Play Touch Screen Mini Games to Take Care of a Penguin – 101 Penguin Pets 3D is basically a re-skinned version of 101 Dolphin Pets except you are tasked with taking care of a different type of aquatic animal. If your child has put Nintendogs + Cats out to pasture and are looking for a […]
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 – 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 – 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: Director’s 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, Director’s 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 “just one more” […]
Same Problems As Before Only Worse – Escape the Virus: Shoot’em Up is basically a new way to play the original game Swarm Survival; you play as a piece of inaccurately depicted DNA while fighting off viruses from a top-down view. Instead of strictly playing defense like in Swarm Survival, Shoot’em Up is an offensive […]
Chu Chu Lemmings – Mixing the guide-the-mindless-drones puzzle aspect of Lemmings with the twitch tile-based arrow guidance markers of Chu Chu Rocket is basically Arctic Escape in a nutshell. Although more based around puzzles than fast reflexes, quick thinking is often required to ultimately guide penguins to the end goal. Even though there are several […]
Clash of Camera Control – A five-dollar downloadable third person anime 3D fighter on DSiWare is rather attention grabbing and unexpected for Nintendo’s online service and screenshots might make it look like Sega’s Virtual-On series but the gameplay is nothing short of disappointing and borderline unplayable. There are only four fighters to choose from which […]
Needs a Biology Lesson – For just a couple of bucks, Swarm Survival is an easy-to-play different take on the classic Snake style of gameplay. From a top down view, the player controls a little piece of DNA (which is portrayed as this weird eyeball thing instead of a double helix) with the goal of […]
