LEGO Lord of the Rings - 4.0
EDITOR’S NOTE: As both the console and handheld versions carry a tremendous amount of similarities, this review is similar to the console review, only with some tweaks added to address the handheld entry... The Lego video game franchise has seen its highs and lows in the past. It was kicked off at a good start with the well received Lego Star Wars games, but continued onward with other licenses garnering a relatively unbalanced reception.

6 months ago - Spy Hunter - 4.0
The golden age of the arcade is certainly over, but that doesn’t mean old classics need to be forgotten. That’s exactly why we are now getting another reboot of the Spy Hunter franchise. That’s right! Midway may no longer exist, but this time it’s the good folks at WB Games and TT Fusion that cooked up this reintroduction to the Action-Driving game that was so addictive back in the day. Was reviving this franchise worth the effort, or should this spy remain in the...

8 months ago - Heroes of Ruin - 4.9
The last twelve months have once again been kind to Western RPG gamers. With much-anticipated titles such as Diablo III, Skyrim, and Mass Effect 3 making their way to our home consoles and PCs, only handheld players seemed a bit left out. Diablo aficionados and all action-RPG fans out there may have been holding off their 3DS purchase in hopes that this latest effort from Square Enix would be worth their time, but is Heroes of Ruin a true dungeon-crawling delight? Let’s find out! HoR...

1 year ago - Kid Icarus: Uprising - 9.1
Perhaps the biggest complaint about Nintendo’s 3DS isn’t the system itself, but the lack of solid, AAA titles. We have seen just a mere smattering of them since the handheld’s launch a year ago. Luckily, Nintendo is bringing us another one to add to the list, as it has revived the heroic angel Pit, who has not starred in a game since 1991 on Game Boy (although he has made a few guest appearances, most notably in the fan favorite Super Smash Bros Brawl). In his latest...

1 year ago - Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D - 8.0
Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid franchise has seen more than its fair share of remakes and remasters. Just last year, three of the games were bundled together and received high-definition upgrades. Like the original versions of the games, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was restricted to consoles. Fortunately for the owners of the Nintendo 3DS, Konami and Kojima had plans to bring one of the series’ most beloved titles to the handheld. After eight years, a Nintendo device...

1 year ago - CRUSH3D - 6.5
Released almost 5 years ago on the Sony PSP, Crush was met with critical acclaim by the gaming press. Most of that praise was due to its clever puzzles, original concept, and dark atmosphere that made it easy to excuse its shortcomings. Is this new entry in the franchise, Crush3D, still just as good, or does it get crushed by the competition? Let’s find out. It is no secret that the original game wasn’t given the attention it deserved. Following its disappointing sales, Sega...

1 year ago - Resident Evil Revelations - 9.0
Ever since Resident Evil 4 came out, Capcom has been looking to top the installment that reinvigorated its flagship series. While Resident Evil 5 was more action-oriented, this latest installment, Resident Evil Revelations, tries to find the perfect balance between the series’ horror roots and the more intense, action-packed approach. Does this handheld installment succeed at providing the best of both worlds, or will it scare players away from the franchise? We’re here to let...

1 year ago - (eShop) Zen Pinball 3D - 7.5
My love of pinball has been steady for the vast majority of my life. I certainly can’t even stand in the same room as the ‘Wizards’ out there, but my enjoyment of the game manges to transcend my skill level by far. These days, most of my pinaballing is done electronically, and Zen Studios has emerged as my favorite provider of video pinball. They really established themselves with Zen Pinball, honed their craft to a fine edge with Pinball FX 2, and is continuing to evolve...

1 year ago - James Noir's Hollywood Crimes - 6.4
Puzzle games on portable devices are as plentiful as oxygen. However, finding a good puzzle game that not only challenges the player, but also presents a new and unique twist on the genre is a more rare occurrence. While the Professor Layton series may have set an impossibly high bar for every other developer, there’s still plenty of room in the market for another stellar puzzle game. James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes for the 3DS is not that game. First and foremost, there’s...

1 year ago - Super Mario 3D Land - 9.0
Let’s face it. The 3DS has been waiting for a premiere exclusive title since its launch earlier this year. Nothing injects life into a Nintendo console like the company’s mascot, Mario. You put those two ideas together in the same equation, and you not only end up getting a true reason to own a Nintendo 3DS, but you also get a fresh new take on one of gaming’s most storied franchises. Super Mario 3D Land infuses modern day technology with concepts and ideas more than two...

1 year ago - Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions - 4.8
Pac-Man and Galaga are two of video game history’s finest franchises. From humble arcade beginnings to the current hyper-acid trip interpretations, the two Namco classics have seen dozens of variations over the years. As great as the originals were, the latest incarnation - Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions - manages to be a rather mundane affair. With rehashes of four titles and only two new very average game modes, Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions does little to expand the 3DS’ list of...

1 year ago - Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D - 6.0
Like so many gamers from our generation that grew up with the first PlayStation, the Resident Evil series has a special place in my heart. Though the franchise has gone through quite a few changes in recent years, the core concept of the game – shoot zombies, stay alive – remains. Eager for a new Resident Evil game, as well as something fun and new to play on my 3DS, I picked up Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D day one without question. Despite having its fair share of flaws, I...

For some, it’s best game to ever appear on the Nintendo 64. For many, it’s best adventure game ever conceived. A breakthrough in video game design at the time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time garnered universal critical praise in 1998 for many reasons. The high-detailed visuals, which not only managed to fully immerse players into the magical world of Hyrule, but also pave the way for the three-dimensional era.

1 year ago - Dead or Alive Dimensions - 8.3
A few months ago, I praised Capcom for its amazing Street Fighter IV offering for the Nintendo 3DS. An incredible and addictive brawler for both the hardcore and newcomers alike. However, for the most dedicated fighting fans among the 3DS’ early adopters, it was only a matter of time before Tecmo Koei and famed developer Team Ninja unleashed its own behemoth - Dead or Alive - onto retail shelves. With its gorgeous CGI cinematics, over-the-top presentation, iconic characters (some more...

2 years ago - Raving Rabbids: Travel In Time - 6.0
Since the 3DS launched last month, Ubisoft has released six titles for the new handheld. While I will spare you my thoughts on Asphalt 3D, the other games (aside from Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon) didn’t really impress me a whole lot. Even though Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs was somewhat interesting, its repetitiveness and lack of features made it join the infamous “list of missed opportunities”. Well, that list welcomes a new member: Raving Rabbids: Travel In Time 3D. No,...

2 years ago - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D - 6.9
No, Splinter Cell 3D isn’t a brand new game featuring the most incredible spy in the video game industry (sorry Mr Bond). No, it’s actually a port of the 2005, critically-acclaimed, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Why Chaos Theory and not the first Splinter Cell? Or even an original storyline? Only Ubisoft Montréal knows the answer to that. Still, seeing Sam Fisher’s third adventure among a list of rather disappointing 3DS titles can only be a positive thing for the...

With Nintendo’s new portable console, it opens the doors for developers and publishers to release their known franchises to those who have never had the opportunity to experience them before. That’s what Tecmo-Koei have done by bringing Omega Force’s Samurai Warriors Chronicles to the masses. While there is definitely a lot of potential that could have been had, this ends up being just another lost opportunity and only the most hardcore of fans will want to give it any...

With the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, Konami surprised us by deciding to release a new portable entry in their popular soccer franchise, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011. The season in Europe is quickly approaching its conclusion, but with no competitors against it, this as a prime opportunity to introduce the series to those interested the world’s most popular sport. While it doesn’t have as many modes as its console cousin, this version of PES shows that sports games can be quite...

2 years ago - The Sims 3 - 6.6
I wasn’t expecting much from the 3DS version of The Sims 3. I kept saying the words “dumbed down”,”ugly”, “glitchy” and “barely playable” so if in case it sucked, my heart wouldn’t be shattered into million pieces. If you’ve read my Xbox 360 review, you may understand my state of paranoia. Already having created a solid game for PCs two years ago, my expectations were rather low for that one too as well. Luckily, the console...

2 years ago - Combat Of Giants - Dinosaurs - 6.3
I’ve heard of the Combat of Giants (also known as Battle of Giants) titles before, but never had the chance – or enough curiosity – to check them out. So when the opportunity to review the newest iteration for the 3DS showed-up, I didn’t ignore it. As I found myself controlling a majestic T-Rex (cutely named Patches) and crossed paths with an Ankylosaurus eager to fight me, I suddenly saw the potential of something really cool. Sadly, as I dwelled deeper into my...

When Ubisoft revealed that a Ghost Recon game would be made available on the 3DS, I literally jumped to the ceiling...to later find out that it wasn’t going to be a tactical shooter. In fact, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is a top-down, turn-based strategy game - a genre with whom I’ve always had some issues. The thing is, I can play and enjoy them to a certain extent, but it takes a lot to keep my interest afloat. With Nintendo dealing with a thin and uninspired...

2 years ago - Asphalt 3D - 3.4
The chances that you’ve heard of (or even played) Gameloft’s own Asphalt racing series at least once in your life are pretty high. Let’s face it, there have been at least six games released on various platforms since 2004; from the infamous N-Gage to the DS/PSP to the most recent mobile phones. I’ll be honest, the franchise never managed to get much attention from me. Still, I felt the need to download the DSiWare version and Asphalt 5 for my iPhone a few weeks ago in...

2 years ago - Rayman 3D - 6.2
Make no mistake, Rayman 3D is an enhanced version of the Dreamcast classic – and one of best platformers of all time - Rayman 2. That game was so great, it was ported to at least four platforms (PS2, Game Boy Color, DS and iPhone/iPod) since its release more than ten years ago. When Ubisoft revealed their Rayman 3DS plans earlier this year, I remember saying to myself that they’ve missed a great opportunity to bring back Rayman in a brand new adventure after taking the back seat...

2 years ago - Bust-A-Move Universe - 5.4
Remember when the Game Boy launched with Tetris and how popular it became? Many handhelds tried to follow the same winning formula, but never truly repeated what the legendary Game Boy achieved. When the 3DS launch line-up was first revealed, I thought we would get something similar or new, but just as recognizable. And when I say “new”, I’m referring to the new popular puzzlers of this world like Angry Birds or Cut The Ropes. The only game that fit what I was looking for...

Wait? SEGA didn’t go with a Sonic game for the 3DS launch? No, sir/madam, they didn’t. Just for that, a standing ovation should be given. Of course, this would be happening only in a dream sequence because our cherished developer/publisher took very few chances with this one. If only Super Monkey Ball 3D lived up to even half of the “Super Monkey Ball as you’ve never experienced before” tag phrase, I wouldn’t have had any issues. If it were up to me, AiAi...

As you’re about to read this review, you may ask yourself if Nintendo released a Nintendogs game for the DS a few years back. Correct, Nintendo did unleash a pet simulator upon their handheld owners back April of 2005. It sold millions of copies too. So when this game was first announced, I don’t think anyone jumped to the ceiling in surprise. Sure, this new Nintendog title may have one obvious new feature (Cats), but is the rest of the experience worth your attention? For...

Among all 3DS launch titles, Madden NFL Football was certainly one of my most anticipated ones for various reasons. If you know me, then that fact is easily understandable, though easily debatable debatable as well. EA had only two titles to bring (this and The Sims 3), and with my deep love for the Madden franchise, EA’s capacity to deliver a great football experiences to the PSP and obviously, the 3DS’ hardware capabilities, I had high hopes.

Of all titles set to hit stores on launch day, Steel Diver was probably the one farthest down on my list. I’ll admit, when I got my hands on the 3DS earlier this year, I mostly glanced over Steel Diver and shifted my focus to the other titles available for hands-on play like Street Fighter, Ocarina of Time and Kid Icarus. Don’t judge, you would have done the same. Still, this nifty side scrolling/shoot’em up/strategy game has managed to climb a few steps and became one of...
