The cheesy music, dull story and lacklustre graphics complete an uninspired package that is guaranteed not to win any in its second time around.

Since this is really nothing more than a new paint job, though, fans of the first game have little incentive to re-invest.

All in all, Music On: Acoustic Guitar offers a good variety of chords and, unfortunately, a clumsy control scheme.

It's an excellent shake-up to the series, one that will satisfy long-time fans with an open mind while also able to ease newcomers into the series with a bang of bangs. It may not be the Citizen Kane of gaming, but it's still essential playing.

All in all, Elastic Boy is a moderately good start for young kids who want to start getting into actual gaming (perhaps as a step up from Lexis Numerique's other WiiWare series), and for 600 Wii Points it's not really too expensive. Be on the lookout for sequels!

The DSi's lack of multitouch severely hampers attempts at emulating musical instruments – particularly a piano; even though this erases any hope of learning chords or playing anything complicated, however, it doesn't prevent the game from demonstrating the simplest way to tickle the ivories.

Fans of the classic 8-bit era shoot-'em-ups will like find Cosmos X2 a nice reminder of days gone by, but gamers who've become accustomed to the manic screen-filling sprays of enemy fire found in many of today's bullet hell shooters will likely find the slower pace of the game a bit too lacking in the intensity department.

At the asking price, Gunblade NY/LA Machineguns is a steal. While Gunblade is showing its age a little now, LA Machineguns is still an excellent shooter with an interesting combo system that should bring players back to hone their skills.

Ivy the Kiwi is the perfect example of the type of enjoyable and refreshing gaming experience that can be created when a developer isn't afraid to try something a little different.

There's no denying that Ivy the Kiwi? is absolutely overflowing with charm and personality.

My Farm is easy to pick on, but the economic aspects are balanced nicely, so your decisions matter and strategy is important.

Broken Rules certainly lives up to its name with And Yet It Moves, and the result is an addictive and memorable puzzle-platformer sure to please anyone with an affinity for either genre.

Its inherently enticing gameplay and relatively short nature gives it great pick-up-and-play appeal, and while single player mode likely won't keep you enthralled for hours on end, its multiplayer very well might.

If you're looking for a game with a lot of content and an engaging story, then you might want to look elsewhere. Fans of old arcade-style games who obsess about getting high scores, however, might find a lot of enjoyment and replayability here.

It's sad to see such a potentially great game be held back by a few poor design choices and a wonky camera, but it's worth a gamble at only 500 Points.

Divergent Shift might have been a more refreshing experience had it been released before Chronos Twins hit the service, but as it is, the game ends up feeling like nothing more than a more expensive and slightly less fulfilling clone.

The true beauty of 3D Mahjong is that it is simply the classic game with a lot of variety.

If you found some uses for the first myNotebook, or passed altogether the first time around, picking up this new version is a safe bet.

Even if the controls worked, even if the graphics weren't insultingly poor, even if the voice acting wasn't painful and even if the enemies weren't called Knagars, Space Trek would still be a mediocre game unworthy of your precious Wii Points.

My Aquarium 2 never strays too far from the formula that made it so popular the first time around, choosing instead to toss in a couple of new features and a host of new goodies to play around with and calling it a day.

Whether you beat the game or not, there's no happy ending to Enjoy Your Massage.

Hints Hunter is a fun game overall, presenting a number of puzzles that are varied, entertaining and pretty, but the majority of challenges are far too simplistic.

Fantasy Slots: Adventure Slots and Games is a turkey: pointless beyond measure, joyless without equal, it's at least consistent in offering dull, unappealing slot machines.

a snooze from the past. Even with perfectly adequate controls, pretty nice graphics and a four player multiplayer mode, the simplistic, repetitive gameplay and unimaginative challenges deliver little fun, moderate action, and a whole lot of regret.

While its components are far more fun and appealing than previous iterations in the DSiWare Petz series, there are just too few of them and too many issues along the way in the game's often imprecise controls and confusing design mechanics.

While simple, easy to pick up and fun, this game never feels above average. It's just too generic and limited, and the steep difficulty slope in Match Machine mode further quashes its potential.

Arc Rise Fantasia does pretty much everything you'd expect a Japanese RPG to do - problem is, it doesn't do much beyond that.

There are a few minor gameplay glitches along the way, but they do little to take away from what is an otherwise engaging and enjoyable underwater diving experience and one well worth the 1000 Wii Point asking price.
