    But despite sounding infuriatingly complicated, Link 'n' Launch very quickly gets under your skin. The only problem is it's a bit lightweight. With just 10 missions and 100 pretty simple puzzles to barrel through, you're soon left wanting more.

    Link 'n' Launch is easily one of the more unique puzzlers you're ever likely to play. It takes a very basic gameplay premise and moulds a unique outer space puzzle theme around it all. Intuitive touchscreen controls and an extremely basic set of gameplay objectives make the game easy to pick up but difficult to put down.

It's really not akin to Pipe Dream, aside from the rough description of 'laying out a path.' But this particular game....really not very fun. I find the controls more awkward than fun. Now I kinda wish I could have my $4 back....but whatever. No refunds from the DS store, no matter what kind of drek they get you to buy. (Which reminds me....how about some trial versions, nintendo? It's part of the reason I don't have any spite for buying games off xbox live....and really, when Microsoft is more 'customer friendly' than you, you're doing something wrong.)… Full Review »
