Capcom's lawyer sim continues to carve its idiosyncratic niche with sharp storytelling and impressively polished production values.

It's not the smartest Layton ever, but it's a huge improvement on Spectre's Call.

Familiar gameplay, but the finely crafted stories make this the best game in the series. [Nov 2008, p.86]

A fun second chapter, though not quite up to the standard of the first.

An amazing amount of thought has gone into this; in an industry dominated by scattershot excess, this is a perfect exercise in honing a single strength.

A brilliant and bloody rampage through recent Resi lore. High score chasers only. [July 2011, p.82]

Though it re-treads some of the same ground as the original, Pullblox World is more of what we loved on 3DS: challenging yet simple and a joy to play.

Get the hang of it and this will take over your life in ways that should probably be illegal. [Dec 2009, p.97]

MySims Kingdom is all about the experience and it takes you on a charming journey where you get to meet and greet some brilliant characters.

If you're after a nostalgia trip this is perfect. [Apr 2009, p.80]

Probably the best superhero game ever made. If you're willing to fight innovations to see the game at its best, this is a huge slab of muscular adventuring.

You'll struggle to find a tactical eShop game that offers more bang for your buck. [Aug 2014, p.76]
