Affordable Space Adventures fails to deliver a world that demands to be explored; it is far too generic and lacking in fun puzzles, instead only producing too many a tedious moment. Patience is a virtue with this one.

It is simply just generic and does not justify itself enough to stand tall in the forest of third-person shooters on the market.

Overall, it is an impressive free-to-play title with fair micro-transactions that speed up the experience yet are in no way necessary to enjoy the game.

All-in-all, it is a recommendable title and one that no puzzle fan should ignore.

Enjoyment for Hazumi will very much depend on the player's determination. A solid core idea is let down by the repetition necessary to succeed, ensuring for many people much of the content will never be seen.

Trapped underneath the horrendous glitches and game-breaking bugs is a very intriguing and - for the most part - pleasing adventure, with a touch of comedy mixed in for good measure.

With a lack of difficulty, a dearth of originality, and a criminally short running time, fans are far better off sticking with the characters' original games.

League of Heroes is at its core a good game. Its concept is fine and the game design succeeds in achieving exactly what it set out to do.

With original game mechanics and charming aesthetics, it's a pleasure to play.

Excave II: Wizard of the Underworld is a better game than the original, but that isn't saying much since they are both very boring and tedious hack 'n slash dungeon crawlers.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is very reminiscent of Lemmings, as the goal is to guide Mario and friends through levels by manipulating objects around them, instead of directly controlling them. Creating inventive ways to avoid hazards and collect coins make each level a challenging, but endearing, experience.

Combining the tried-and-true formula of Mega Man X with a modern aesthetic and a fun, unique combat style was a sure-fire hit from the start, but it's safe to say that Inafune could easily have another major success on his hands.

Music On: Electric Guitar has tried hard in some aspects to replicate how it feels and sounds to play a guitar. It's certainly not a bad effort, but the lack of additional features hurts the app. In addition, the concept won't appeal to everyone, but those that are intrigued will find reasons to come back for a five minute twiddle when the situation permits.

Returning to the action adventure mould may be a source of disappointment for those that loved the previous Ninjago real-time strategy slant on Nintendo DS, but LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin takes all of the best elements found in previous LEGO adventures and mixes them together with a hilarious script, some weird and wacky scenarios, an impressive mix of character-based puzzles, and plenty of extras to keep players coming back for more.

Lack of online aside, the game is a worthy addition to the Wii U line-up and a game-night roster.

Despite a few foibles, basically the 3DS has its new killer app.

A fantastic experience marred somewhat by the limitations of the handheld.

It is fun for the first few minutes, but having to always drive through the same courses in order to reach the different courses can be very tiring.

Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition takes a beloved classic of the past that hasn't necessarily aged very well and brings to players who are hungry for monuments of gaming history just the version they needed to finally take a dive if they hadn't already.

Chariot is a true co-op game. The beauty is that the game can be played and enjoyed in two completely different styles.

With a bit more time and a few new features, Blek has all the ingredients to become a strong entry into the puzzle world, should a sequel ever transpire.

Comparisons with games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater may be unavoidable, but they are certainly misplaced: OlliOlli is a great game on its own merits.

It's still worth a look for Space Invaders fans, but is far outclassed by its PlayStation and PC siblings.

A true example of how the 3D effect can enhance games, with both a compelling narrative and gameplay structure, and plenty of reason to take back to the skies after finishing.

Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate offers the most complete experience in the series to date.

It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Zombie Incident is not without a couple of annoying factors at times, and some decisions in terms of game design do seem odd. Saying that, though, the feeling it provides coming out of playing it is a good one - a rewarding sense of accomplishment.

Nintendo would have been better off renaming this 'The Best of NES Remix 1&2' - admittedly not the catchiest title but it is not misleading unlike the actual name of Ultimate NES Remix.

As basic as collecting coins in a slapped together maze is, at least users are getting what they paid for, even if it really sucks.

Space Lift Danger Panic! is a solid port of the iOS original, capitalising on the touch-screen controls for the 3DS, with colourful retro graphics and a solid soundtrack to boot.

It is an average puzzler that might deliver a couple of hours of fun, but nothing more.

While Excave does not crap itself with glitches or bugs, the game commits far worse sins by just being so agonisingly boring and dull.

Although it does not impress quite as much as other recent SEGA 3D Classics re-released on the 3DS eShop, like 3D After Burner II, for example, it certainly still deserves its own place on the platform and manages to stand on its own.

To say that The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is the stand out best game in the Zelda series is, indeed, a daring - and inaccurate - verdict, given the calibre of the series. However, there can be no doubting that this is the most alluring and positively tortuous game within the series, and for that reason alone, it is worth everyone's time.

Ultimately, Sumico can be summarised quite simply as being decent and fun, and yet never actually evolving and certainly not for people who aren't into mathematics in any form.

Dolphin Up is a shallow title that is most certainly not dolphin safe.

A great classic to begin with, 3D After Burner II is only magnified by the Nintendo 3DS' ability to render things in 3D.

It might not capture the essence of the games it was originally inspired by, but by challenging those very genres and adding ideas of its own, it may well become a focal point in indie development, inspiring developers to create games in a similar vein.

It may be short, but it means that all the fat has been trimmed to produce an unmatched experience that can (and should) be enjoyed by every 3DS owner.

The intended audience won't care about this app and would probably be using Miiverse instead.

Citizens of Earth may not have had the nuanced artistry that Earthbound had, but, in spite of its limitations, it owns what it has available and runs with it.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is at times frustrating, but is mostly a fun, light-hearted, and immediately and consistently enjoyable videogame.

It is decent at its core, but that's it.

For those who like the sound of a lawyer simulator, with plenty of plot to delve into, no objections should be made when deciding to purchase Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

Even though it is aimed at children, Penguins of Madagascar is far too simple, repetitive and unimpressive to warrant a purchase even for the most eager of Penguins fans.

Considering Underground was developed originally as a simulator and will hopefully assist in the development of surgical skills, it's great to see it works well as a standalone game, too.

Pyramids 2 is one of many games in its genre, but it does deliver a solid experience. While short, it does compensate for that with its level editor.

The only drawbacks of this enjoyable Action RPG are the times where it is not always too clear where to head next, and the unfortunate glitches/bugs that have crept in during the transition to the 3DS system from its home console origins.

Cramming the WiiWare game and more into the smaller system is superbly impressive and the action is just as addictive today as it was a few years back, if not more so now in this new portable format.

The problem is the precise touches combined with the time attack aspects that only make for an annoying experience.

A worthy choice for people new to the series, yet providing enough new functionality for fans, as well, these jewels are worth preserving.

A worthy choice for people new to the series, yet providing enough new functionality for fans, as well, these jewels are worth preserving.

While there are some good ideas at play here, Planes: Fire & Rescue does the bare minimum with them and the development team has produced a game that's only fun to play for a few minutes at a time.

The game itself is a good addition to the series. Niggles with presentation and the amount of mandatory text to read are present, but there are so many positives to take from the engaging and varied experience.

While Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is very much aimed at a core audience and may alienate potential newcomers, the fans are going to adore it.

It is fun whilst it lasts and is definitely deserving of a play through. This is Sonic, just not quite as he was previously known.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker may be a humble little game that may not aim very high, but it succeeds as a quality and polished title for those who want a relaxing and easy going adventure-puzzle game.

Rock Zombie is playing on nostalgia from the time when arcade halls were everywhere and arcade styled beat 'em up titles were flooding the console market - the 'Golden Age' of arcade games. Sadly, however, due to misbalanced difficulty and an overly simplistic fighting system and enemy design, the game falls flat.

The epitome of a soulless cash grab, Penguins of Madagascar is a text book example of a lazy movie tie-in game.

Falling Skies: The Game on Nintendo Wii U eShop is so lacking in every regard, and overall terribly bland, that it is easy to get distracted from actually playing it.

It's a bright, bustling multiplayer fest that deserves a place in any Wii U library.

For fans of games in The Legend of Zelda series, Ittle Dew offers plenty of puzzles and replayability to scratch that Zelda itch. The combat system may be sub-par, but that shouldn't put people off as it's only a minor gameplay element, with puzzles being the stronger focus here.

A game that started with a good idea but chose to build this upon a bad concept.

This is a title that should be enjoyed in 30-minute sessions on the bus or while waiting for something, not for hours in a living room. However, saying that, the addictive qualities of the game cannot be ignored and it is a real blast, very charming, offering stacks of content.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is the mark of the vulgar and should not be touched.

It's hard to find something to complain about in Shovel Knight because it does everything it sets out to do perfectly - to an impeccable standard.

Steel Empire is a good game at its core, and it was far ahead of its time when it first came out. The problem is, though, that at this point and time a lot of the game's elements are extremely dated.

Taking many tropes from the Metroidvania sub-genre of games, and adding a mechanic all of its own, The Swapper succeeds in creating an interesting world to explore and challenging puzzles to conquer amidst one of the most atmospheric backdrops ever put to a video game.

The Keep is one of those games that is more than the sum of its parts. It does not sport the fanciest graphics out there and does not impress in any particular area, but all of its ingredients put together work in a sort of alchemy more powerful than the spells it presents in-game.

The title will appeal to gamers of all experience and ability, and has a "just one more go" feel to it that makes it hard to put down.

Unfortunately, it does feel like a small step backwards after Marvel Super Heroes, with the missing open world being the biggest loss - this is LEGO Batman 3 and not LEGO DC Comics or LEGO Justice League, so there's still hope that an open world will come later, as this most certainly won't be the last in this franchise.

With a subtle yet engaging plot device and atmospheric environment, dastardly devilish challenges, and a shelf life of features beyond many other games, this stealth puzzler is an easy sell.

This isn't an awful game - it's just that, for the most part, it isn't much of one.

It's clean, precise presentation, slick smooth gameplay and awesome level design make Tetrobot a strong contender for the puzzle game leader of Nintendo's eShop indie selection.

Repetitious gameplay, cheap boss battles and a rushed presentation overall, Arrow Time U offers very little incentive to pick this one up from the Wii U eShop. Save those pennies for something else.

This year's edition of the Just Dance series lifts the game beyond its former releases thanks to its focus on treating players to various extras the more they play and integrating the online component so smoothly into the regular play.

Overly slow character movement may not appeal to some, but this is a gorgeous title that should be experience by all. A truly joyous piece of gaming art!

An appreciated effort then, yet easily forgotten.

There is nothing here that gives reason to choose this over the iOS app and for the excessive price point, and considering the quality of the game, it's worth giving this one a miss.

Its difficulty and lack of content may turn away some, but Cosmophony remains a stylish, addictive game that is sure to satisfy the resilient.

XType Plus is the essence of the Wii U eShop's potential for quick, cheap and accessible games, wrapped up in a tightly controlled and satisfying game with endless potential for replayability.

Football Up 3D is a commendable effort in the way it tries to bring back to the top all the pacing, the fluidity and the finesse of two classic - never forgotten - arcade paragons.

More of a refinement with extra bells and whistles over the original DSiWare game, this version of 99Seconds keeps the basic-looking overtone of the concept and adds more of what works.

Me & My Furry Patients 3D is a game with a clear target audience - young kids who have a dream to open their own veterinary practice in the future - and it does a good job of catering to them.

Daring, challenging and balls to the wall outrageous, Bayonetta on WiiU delivers the definitive action extravaganza.

This Wii U eShop iteration is without doubt the ultimate version on offer, following the already mightily impressive WiiWare and 3DS eShop releases.

Color Zen is great, both as a game and tool to reduce stress in one's daily life.

KickBeat: Special Edition is thoroughly average.

Jett Tailfin is a bugging game with some redeemable quality, namely the beautiful world it takes place in. However, the fact that the multiplayer ends up between two entirely different kinds of racing genres makes this game a must-have for no one.

Not a game worth buying in its current state, but there is something good to build upon.

For the genre, though, it's an "okay" game that works well enough as filler when there is nothing more exciting to play.

Bayonetta 2 is a Game of the Year contender, which comes extremely recommended.

An impressive debut for a brand-new IP whose clever and well thought out design catapults Fantasy Life into the upper ranks of the 3DS library.

While Coaster Creator 3D offers great tools, it is a very limited game experience.

Overall, Angry Bunnies is a bad Angry Birds clone that suffers heavily from being rushed and bad physics, which is one of the things that made the original strive.

There's nothing awful or fundamentally broken about the game, and Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle has a pleasant atmosphere and presentation. However, it's blunted by the lacklustre and repetitive gameplay, along with controls that lack polish.

Avoid this like the plague.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse might put off a lot of its target audience with its bright and cartoony graphics, but devoted Metroidvania/platformer fans will not want to miss this excellently animated sprite game.
