A perverse sense of humor and singular style ensure that Contact offers a refreshing dose of originality that is certainly not lacking on the DS, but might be lacking in the RPG genre.

It may take a couple of hours to get into, but once there the game has a very addictive system. If you have a taste for strategy, give it a shot and see if you like it.

I was never a tamagotchi fan or even an RPG fan but this game actually proves to me why this genre is so involving. You really do dive into the life and mindset of the character. It's fresh, it's different and it's captivating. You'll enjoy it in a strange way. Kind of like how watching the TV show "Cops" is so strangely addictive.

If you liked "Mario Golf," you'll love Ribbit King. There's not much depth, but there's more than enough charm and fun to make it worth your twenty bucks.

While there is no clear ending to The Screaming Narwhal, it is a fun tale that shouldn’t be missed by any fans of old point and click style games.

What the game lacks in close up visuals and audio it makes up for in its fun, addicting gameplay.

MadWorld is not quite the godsend, super-mature hardcore title some gamers were hoping for; it has a few major flaws but still manages to out-rank most of the competition with ease.

It uses the system's capabilities, but doesn't stray too far from established norms.

While Mega Man Battle Network 4 shares most, if not all, of its play mechanics with its three predecessors, it still offers some new aspects and, above all else, its still very fun.

For players who enjoyed Wii Fit and are still using it, Wii Fit Plus is worth the upgrade: it surpasses the original game in every way. However, the game will not compel players to keep up their routines. Only plan on adding this Plus to your collection if you are into the whole fitness game genre.

This handheld version of the game feels more like the N64 incarnations, which I prefer to this generation of ASB.

Metal Slug 7 is a godsend to hardcore gamers looking for a portable fix.

While Mega Man Battle Network 4 shares most, if not all, of its play mechanics with its three predecessors, it still offers some new aspects and, above all else, its still very fun.

The best monster game since "Rampage."

There's a lot of potential here, unrealized because technical limitations doom the game to single player only.

Possessing one of the lowest bargain prices available for DS software, Puzzler Collection may be just the ticket for those looking for a puzzle fix or for some software to interest the more casual gamer in the family.

I think we can all agree that it's better than Tom Clancy's "Sum of All Fears." Yikes.

Despite its flaws, Topsy Turvy delivers, as usual, a fun, innovative Nintendo-published adventure.

Do whatever you can to play this game the way it should be played : with four players! The amount of trash talking, cheating, and jinxing provided when you're playing with three other people is unbelievable. A great game that pioneers a great new genre : The Party Genre.

A rare gem that only uses the license as a tool to build a very good platform game.

A very well executed game. Gameplay is tight, and the overall experience is a good one. However, the game is just too short.

I genuinely had fun with this title, but technical issues and a drab story kept it from achieving greatness.

An excellent wrestling game and deserves your attention just for the sheer amount of crap you can accomplish, collect, unlock, create, and on and on and on.

Proving Ground is another solid entry into the series that, once again, requires players to link tricks to score massive combos to progress through the game.

A fun game that ends much too quickly.

If you’ve never played this title before, add a couple of points for being one of the least informed gamers out there. There’s no shame in that.

While the presentation is a bit disappointingly simplistic, the core gameplay is fun and a worthy challenge to even the most seasoned of button tapping rhythm vets.

While comparing BlackThorne to the classic "Prince of Persia," it's obvious that it isn't as good as the revolutionary title. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean it isn't an overall good game.
