    The third chapter is just as entertaining as the first two, even if it's a little short. [Dec 2009, p.97]

    A fun card game with the added bonus of single-card multiplayer. Nice job. [Feb 2010, p.86]

    The best Sudoku game on DSi, but not worth getting if you have any of the other ones. [Jan 2010, p.84]

    It's full of bluster, but it's not going to provide hours of friendship. [Dec 2009, p.95]

    The best wrestling game on a Nintendo console since the N64 glory days. Impressive.

    The arcadey approach is an interesting diversion for the series and one that just about pays off. [Nov 2009, p.80]

    If Cooking Mama 3 were a steak, it'd be a medium-cooked one. It's satisfying enough, but it's certainly not rare and it's not exactly well done.

    It's Space Invaders, done really well with killer future-retro graphics and gameplay. [Oct 2009, p.82]

    A brilliant sequel that improves on the original in every conceivable department. Essential.

    Avoid like the plague. [Jan 2010, p.86]

    Once you get used to the fact that the blob's practically brain-dead, this is a fun puzzler. [Dec 2009, p.74]

    This is a highly accomplished party game that stands head and shoulders above the mess of shovelware garbage out there, even if it does lack the depth of its slightly more meaty handheld brother. [Nov 2009, p.65]
    • 76 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Believe it or not, if you have both a Wii and a DS and you're not really bothered about multiplayer action, we'd recommend you pick up the DS version of this instead of the Wii one. [Nov 2009, p.70]

    Limp shocks and dull content leave us with a lingering grudge towards Ju-On's creators. [Dec 2009, p.92]

    Disappointingly short. [Feb 2010, p.83]

    It's sorely lacking an online leaderboard as well. [May 2010, p.91]

    A surprisingly tough game, but if you have the previous installment it's not different enough.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Spore Hero is fun for the most part, but a few frustrating annoyances mean it falls just short.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It won't win any new converts but Wii Fit Plus improves on the original in every way.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Sure, its very nature dictates it's a dumbed down take on a sophisticated shooter but it's a classy, atmospheric and very exciting action title nonetheless, pipping Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and House Of The Dead to the Wii's best blaster crown.

    Beneath those cutesy eyes lies the healthy beating heart of a solid adventure game.

    It's good to see Kingdom Hearts on the DS, but this is not up to the standard of previous efforts. [Dec 2009, p.84]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Mobilized is a technically impressive game that should provide you with plenty of entertainment for a while, and there's also the small matter of online multiplayer for up to six players once you're done. There are some annoying control niggles but if you can get over those you should have fun.

    Takes an old genre and breathes new life into it. Top-down racing hasn't been this fun in ages. [Oct 2009, p.86]

    It was great back in the day but time hasn't been too kind to Arkanoid. [Nov 2009, p.102]

    A fantastic paint package, but don't be fooled into buying the same thing twice. [Mar 2010, p.92]

    A smart, addictive strategy offering that's among DSiWare's very finest games. [Christmas 2009, p.102]

    The game is abrupt, lasting only a couple of hours, and trying to tap the right object is consistently niggling. [Dec 2009, p.94]

    Mixing old school scrapping with 21st Century sheen, this is a really solid scrapper.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It's Smash Bros. with a shorter lifespan and less interesting characters, but still fun nonetheless. [Nov 2009, p.72]
