With minor interaction even required from the gamer, and barely any challenge overall, your 200 Nintendo Points should be retained for something far more worthy in the future.

The fast-paced, plentiful content will occupy even the most hardened gamers for hours with its extreme but just-about-feasible level of challenge, and at the price it should be nigh-on impossible to resist.

Zoë Mode has taken the Disney magic and sprinkled it successfully over the Sing It franchise, making Disney Sing It: Family Hits a thoroughly entertaining karaoke experience with a great selection of popular songs available from a wide range of classic movies. However, there are a few limitations that really hold it back from being an essential purchase, most prominently the lack of any download content.

The refined framework, ease of access for all levels of skill and the colourful style ensures a great looking, stress free experience for all involved, combining a bunch of entertaining board games into one neat package.

With Hot Wheels: Track Attack, what you see is what you get; basic and accessible at an impressions level, with an immaculate amount of replayability for Hot Wheels fans. Those looking for the majesty of a true racing sim, or the chaos of a kart racer had best move on.

AR Games: Target Shooting works extremely well in terms of showing off the 3D abilities of the Nintendo 3DS and its external cameras, as well proving to be great fun as players must get up and move around quickly to shoot at all the targets and the main boss. Thoroughly entertaining for a freebie thrown into the 3DS package.

Making great use of the internal and external cameras, as well as containing some extremely clever use of the real world for the game's enjoyable missions, Face Raiders is a massive success on every front.

Some visual distortion hampers the Hidden Object element, and the touch-screen control system is a little loose in places, but on the whole Escape the Museum is an extremely pleasant surprise, offering a whole host of conundrums to crack, plenty of objects to find, and extras to unlock during the journey. Not perfect, by any means, but definitely a breath of fresh air in a heavily populated genre.

City Interactive already impressed with its hidden object adventure Vampire Moon: Mystery of the Hidden Sun last year, but with Murder in Venice it has taken the already successful formula and honed it to perfection, whilst mixing in a considerable visual overhaul and a large batch of highly engaging mini-games to add even more value for money. Highly recommended.

3D Classics: Excitebike may be vaguely fun in very short play sessions, but with the advances in technology and a superior WiiWare version available, it simply feels dated. The 3D visuals are fantastic and the added save functionality is an improvement, but those alone are not enough to keep every player hooked.

You would be better off buying two separate solitaire and Match-3 games, both of far better quality.

Hidden Mysteries: Salem Secrets, Witch Trials of 1692 is a fantastic example of how PC adventure games can be translated across to the Nintendo DS without any real loss in detail or quality. Filled to the brim with an intriguing storyline, plenty of brain-teasing mini-games, enjoyable free-roaming gameplay and hidden object puzzles, this is definitely one for fans of the genre to add to their shopping list.

It's very easy for a critic to say "fans of X will enjoy X", but the phrase absolutely applies here. If you've no interest in Les Stroumpfs then there's nothing for you here, but if you enjoyed the movie and would like a dancing game based upon it, then you could do far worse than Ubisoft's latest money maker.

National Geographical Challenge! may not be one of Wii's most notable games, but should you enjoy quizzes it is another game to add to the list for multiplayer sessions on Nintendo's machine. For the many, there is much, but for the solo, there is little.

Jewels of the Ages proves to be one of, if not the best Match 3 release on Nintendo DS so far.

Jewel Time Deluxe has made a successful transition from PC to Nintendo DS, yet its general lack of extra polish it fades in comparison to other releases in the genre. With six modes to play through, Gusto Games' Match-3 puzzle effort is definitely one that will give fans of this style enough to sink their teeth into.

The first Mystery Stories was rather disappointing overall, not living up to the standards of previous PC entries. Sadly, this follow-up is only marginally better, yet scores lower due to other developers bringing out far better hidden object games on DS. Mystery Stories: Curse of the Ancient Spirits simply cannot match others on the DS scene nowadays.

Princess Isabella: Witch's Curse is a triumphant PC puzzle adventure that has been faithfully transposed onto the smaller Nintendo DS with barely any downgrading in terms of sound and visuals, and nothing missing on the gameplay and content front.

Just Dance Kids on Wii proves that the same formula can be successfully tweaked to appeal to a completely different audience, whilst not removing any of the core that helped make the main series so addictive.

Sadly it has to be said that Jewel Link Mysteries: Mountains of Madness is a truly lazy effort, failing to improve upon frailties with the developer's previous Hidden Object and Match-3 products. Instead, both subpar game engines have been shoved together with some H.P. Lovecraft slapped on for show.

Chain Galaxy really has snuck into the minefield of Match-3 puzzle games out there on the Nintendo DS and managed to carve out a little nook to reside in, not garnering too much attention due to its humble nature, but managing to stay relevant thanks to great presentation and a highly addictive core quality that will keep players hooked for ages.

1001 Touch Games may not quite live up to expectations, featuring watered-down editions of many much-loved gaming styles, but at a low price-point it definitely carries enough weight to push extremely weak DS puzzle releases down far enough to warrant some attention from DS owners.

Zoo Resort 3D provides a nice twist on the regular type of zoo simulation game, but once the story mode is complete there is little pull for further gameplay, even with the added features of challenges to complete.

Imagine: Fashion Designer 3D is an average game overall for the target group Ubisoft was intending to aim this at. Unfortunately, though, Ubisoft's Bulgarian development arm has failed to instil excitement in general as Imagine: Fashion Designer 3D fails to excel with the lack of save files for customised outfits and minimal menu options.

Avoid Chuck E. Cheese's Arcade Room at all costs. Even if you have some morbid curiosity, or previous affection for childhood memories of Chuck E. Cheese, there is nothing here but a really shallow experience that is sure to sour any positive thoughts you had about Nolan Bushnell's creation.

Let's Create! Pottery is quite a niche title that will appeal to pottery makers and creative types and it's something you can pick up and play at any time, whether it be for short or long periods.

To-Fu Collection is a very fun and addictive game that can be played for hours at a time.

3, 2, 1... WordsUp! is ideal for those looking for a little puzzler to test the brain during those short periods of boredom we all find ourselves experiencing daily.
