The gameplay can become fairly stale after an hour or so. This isn’t a pick-up-and-play title either, because the password saves are much too long and complex.

The combat in this title is extremely weak and features little to no depth other than smack-smack-smack-bang.

Overall, Milanoir is a very fun title. It has a deliciously dark and entertaining storyline, something that even the most expensive AAA games would kill for. It’s also home to some of the most creative use of a pixel art style seen in recent memory. The environments and characters look authentic to the period and drip personality, making all of the twists and turns of Piero’s adventure that much more irresistible to watch unfold. There are some mechanical issues that hold Milanoir back, but don’t let that stop anyone looking for a more unique video game experience from giving it a download from the eShop.

Even the nonsensical story lines would be very easily tolerated if X-Men: The Official Game was any fun, but most of the time, it's not.

There’s just not enough redeeming qualities in horse-riding to keep me interested in it long enough.

Photo Finder is a decent adventure stuffed with charm and fun.

The developer for Marvel Super Hero Squad is Blue Tongue Entertainment, who masterminded the superb Wii title de Blob. That pedigree makes the failure of Super Hero Squad all the more disappointing.

When all is said and done, Spore Hero Arena just fails to keep one's attention.

Unfortunately, Over the Hedge for the GBA is a typical example of uninspired licensed game design.

Remember the good old days when one would control up to six power rangers instead of a measily three? It's a little weird having only three power rangers.

Less of a game and more of a personal organizer with a boring game installed in it.

The game is a mixed-bag, for sure, but the highs slightly outweigh the fighting genre side effects.

While it may not have the depth and grandeur some would look for, it has enough character to stand out from the other licensed titles.

It’s good to see a Star Trek game on Wii; it’s just too bad it’s such a short and shallow affair.

Iceman has done it again; who knows what kind of shoddy licensed drivel he'll chomp his prolific teeth at next?

As it stands, though, Mighty No. 9 isn’t unplayable, it’s just trifling and uninspired.

While Lux-Pain achieves some good things, it's hampered by its quality of localization and its over-reliance on one or two major tasks.

Astro Boy: The Video Game is not a bad game. It's also not a good game.

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a video game less than this one.

Those looking for a serious RPG effort or a robust multiplayer, however, should hold onto their $50 for now.

Everything from the graphics, sound and the frame rate should have been a whole lot better, not to mention the confusing and burdensome control scheme.

While this title shows some promise, it clearly needed some more time in development before it was released.

With mentally deficient in-game opponents and groan-inducing fetch-quests galore, the real draw of SNK Vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS is the collection aspect.

Three of the four are really good.

The lack of animation leaves the game high and dry at times.

If Cocoro Line Defender featured units with a lot of unique abilities that were available immediately, I would probably be writing a very different review. However, as it stands, every battle is determined by how closely you can fling your units together on the battlefield.

When it all comes down to it, only HUGE fans of the Halle Berry film should pick this up.

All in all, Dora Saves the Snow Princess is a great idea that ultimately proves too shallow.
