As I enjoy puzzle games, I was looking forward to spending some time with the 3DS version of Jewel Master: Cradle of Rome 2. Sometimes there’s a lot of fun to be had in brain teasers that require a bit of strategy. Unfortunately, I have been less than impressed. The game has been updated to … Continue Reading →
Ketzal’s Corridors brings to the 3DS a reason for me to stop playing Pushmo for awhile. Though I never thought it would happen. The basic premise of KZ may sound simple, but there is an elegance to it that belies the simplicity. You control geometric blocks as they fly though variously shaped holes in an … Continue Reading →
Pushmo, a new downloadable game for your 3DS, starts out simply and easily. Almost too easily, with tutorials that hold your hand through the basics of gameplay until you’re about ready to give up in frustration. However, once you push (heh!) through those, Pushmo becomes as devious and exquisite a puzzler as anyone could ask … Continue Reading →
Wow, two days in a row going with announcement posts I don’t usually do. But it’s “Lego Batman 2″ (now with more super heroes)! They’ve been talking about it for a while, but today it became official. “Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes” will be out this summer for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC, Nintendo … Continue Reading →
The second set of ten games that were supposed to be released free to early adopters of the 3D handheld unit may have been delayed. According to the Spanish Nintendo 3DS Ambassador page, the titles will be available “next year”. While this isn’t surprising, considering that Nintendo has been silent on the release of the … Continue Reading →
Nintendo has created many a household name for gamers: Mario, Zelda, Samus, Star Fox and more. This is something that Nintendo seems hell-bent on reminding consumers by re-releasing many of their older titles pretty-fied for the 3DS. I’d be angry, if the games weren’t so darned good and looked so phenomenal. Star Fox 64 3D … Continue Reading →
As mentioned previously, Nintendo made moves to placate those early-adopters who bought one of the 3DS handheld units at the original price of $250. If you had purchased one of the units at that price, and had accessed the online eShop prior to Aug. 12, you would be able to download a total of 20 … Continue Reading →
Nintendo’s dropping the price on the 3DS from $250 to $170 on Aug. 12. But, what if you’re one of the early adopters who bought a 3DS prior to the price drop? Never fear, Nintendo considers you an “Ambassador” and wants to give you 20 (yes, 20) free games. The titles include such classics as … Continue Reading →
After 13 years, the classic Ocarina of Time makes its way to the 3DS; it’s been worth the wait. The game’s graphics have received a complete overhaul, and the once-flat world of Hyrule now jumps to life. The visuals are, in a word, incredible. However, with the graphics receiving such a beautiful treatment, I am … Continue Reading →
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars The LEGO games, once a whimsical send-up of the icons they portrayed, have become lackluster and uninspired. The usual formula is in full effect: a group of mute, charming characters makes its way through the storyline of a movie, collecting LEGO blocks, building things from said LEGO blocks … Continue Reading →
