They've made Puzzle Quest feel a bit laborious. [Aug 2010, p.70]

A big fat thief, but it's a big fat thief with a heart of hold. [Aug 2010, p.70]

It doesn't do anything new and it's not exactly challenging, but Starfy is a charming, funny game, and a pleasant enough way to while away a few hours. [Sept 2009, p.68]

Most of the Shodowns hold up today, but the bare bones presentation is disappointing. [Apr 2009, p.59]

Immensely charming for what it is. [Mar 2009, p.61]

A cute, straightforward, funny and demanding puzzle title. [Oct 2009, p.67]

Word-manglers of any sort should have some fun with this. [Apr 2009, p.77]

They're not the most obvious choice for a band-specific Rock Band title, but Green Day's pop-punk hits suit the format. [July 2010, p.50]

The concept's fresh, the tunes are funky and the music creation mode is top notch. [Nov 2009, p.70]

The most complex RPG we've ever played. Takes a lot of time to get to grips with, let alone master, but it's worth the effort. [Sept 2009, p.71]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

It's a platformer with a lot of heart. [Apr 2011, p.74]

Nothing amazing, but not without cheeky charm. [Apr 2007, p.70]

A rather limp "WarioWare" is followed by a rather limp Wii Wario Land. Wazza's never looked better, but has rarely played so sensibly. Where's the attitude, you porker? [Nov 2008, p.52]

Despite the clumsy controls and a tendency to keep throwing the same bits at you over and over (and over) again, this is recommended to all. [June 2007, p.46]

This remake of a Japan-only mobile phone title is a great piece of fan service and a decent RPG to (re)boot, but it's definitely not for the uninitiated.

Fairly humorless, and mostly done with button not stylus, but a good play. [Aug 2007, p.70]

Looks and sounds a lot nicer than it plays. [May 2008, p.58]

Not Pokemon. In fact the very reverse of Pokemon - fixing that which was broken and breaking that which was fixed. D'oh! [Apr 2007, p.67]

Good stuff for the hardcore. [June 2009, p.75]

It's just...fun. It won't last you forever, but it's rare that a game tries this hard to make the most of such a simple idea. We'll have some more, please. [Aug 2006, p.61]

But the crowning glory is the fantastically naïve script, which attempts to ape gritty American cinema with its excessive use of swears. In attempting this, it succeeds only in being the most quintessentially Japanese thing that has ever been put to disc.

A powerful and enjoyable photo editor. [Sept 2012, p.106]

Spore Wars isn't quite the game we were hoping for but there is potential here for a future franchise if the uninspired level design is given a few tweaks. [Mar 2009, p.56]

A great Bleach 'thing' but it lacks the grace that holds the show's combat together. [June 2009, p.70]

A bafflingly deep card battle experience to look forward to. [June 2010, p.71]

It's still not meaty enough but Carbon throws some interesting new ideas at the series, adding breadth to a simple, easy but enjoyable racing experience. [Dec 2006, p.52]

A beautiful, sporadically fun action RPG, and a great showcase for the power of the 3DS. Sit down and play it, however, and you're in for an infuriating game. [Aug 2012, p.89]
