Paper Mario: Sticker Star Review

Like most Mario games these days, Paper Mario: Sticker Star features a very thin plot. This one has you at the Sticker Fest (a celebration of stickers where the Sticker Comet passes by in the... Read More »

Planet Crashers Review

Planet Crashers really wasn’t on my gaming radar at all this year, until I learned that Renegade Kid was the team behind it. They’ve been mainstays on the 3DS eShop and have made great titles... Read More »

Mario Tennis Open Review

When I first opened up Mario Tennis Open, I couldn’t help but be taken back to the fun times I had with Mario Tennis on the Game Boy Colour. It was just so much... Read More »

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir Review

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is definitely an odd choice for Nintendo to publish on the Nintendo 3DS. It doesn’t feature bright and colourful graphics, a likeable protagonist, or even fun gameplay. Instead, it is a... Read More »

Kid Icarus: Uprising Review

After a record-breaking first year for the 3DS, Nintendo’s first big game for the system’s second year is Kid Icarus: Uprising. Reviving an over 20-year-old franchise might have been a risky decision, especially when... Read More »

Crush 3D Review

When a game is labelled as a budget title at launch, that usually means you’ll be getting a pretty bad game that publishers thought people would only buy on a whim because of the... Read More »

Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro Review

If there’s one thing knowledgeable gamers tend to be cautious about, it’s over priced plastic peripherals marketed to enhance game play. Just look towards Tony Hawk: Ride and the Wireless Skateboard Controller. If such... Read More »

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Review

Nintendo made a great decision by including Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones in the 3DS Ambassador Program. A new 3DS version is scheduled to hit in 2012 and since the franchise has never been... Read More »

Nano Assault Review

I can’t help but think that in the beginning of the development process for Nano Assault, the team over at Shin’en was fed false information about the 3DS. You see, Nano Assault is at its core... Read More »

After re-playing the original Yoshi's Island GBA remake on the 3DS Virtual Console, I just have one question for Nintendo: why are there only two Yoshi's Island games? Seriously, the premise of the game... Read More »
