    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It may be 17 years old, but this may just be the best RPG on the DS. You need this.
    • 81 Metascore

    While it's nothing Fire Emblem fans wont have seen before, this is a hugely enjoyable tactical RPG.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Gory, gruesome fun but not a game to bust out next time gran comes round for a Wii session. [Apr 2009, p.76]

    Overkill is the most offensive, outrageous game we've played and we love it. Mature lightgun fans need this.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A very pleasant surprise and one of the finest mature games on the Wii. Confront your fears and pick this one up.

    A clever puzzle game that will have you thinking and shaking at the same time. [Christmas 2009, p.101]

    The best Tenchu in ages and good fun for the most part but this is a series that badly needs a reinvention. [Mar 2009, p.76]
    • 66 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It's fairly easy but still makes for a pretty, touching story. [July 2009, p.74]
    • 56 Metascore

    This really isn't worth the money. [Mar 2009, p.89]

    Rygar may have been decent six years ago, but with no updates it's now dated and shoddy. [July 2009, p.86]

    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not going to change the world but old-school platforming fanatics will find much to enjoy here. Not half bad. [Mar 2009, p.85]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Original, polished and heaps of fun, this is one of the finest shooters available on the DS.
    • 58 Metascore

    SimAnimals is a good idea but with poor visuals and fiddly controls, this is a wasted opportunity.
    • 71 Metascore

    Feels half-finished. [July 2009, p.87]

    If your family likes sitting around a table playing cards then Jungle Speed is just about worth a pop. [May 2009, p.86]

    A complete howler. [Mar 2009, p.87]

    Much like a real sandcastle, it's fun for an hour or so then becomes a washout. [Oct 2010, p.97]

    • 85 Critic Score
    All you need to know is that if clever and cheap puzzle titles are your thing, you need to be downloading this one. [Nov 2008, p.103]

    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great end to a great series - we hope there's more but if there isn't, at least it's gone out on a high. [Feb 2009, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's basic but reasonably compelling. [Nov 2009, p.98]

    It'd have a Gold Award but for the camera. That aside, it's pretty wonderful. [Dec 2008, p.75]
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Enjoyable, old school platforming with a modern twist. You'll need patience though.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It's fun, but for 30 quid, it's no bargain. [Apr 2009, p.87]

    It's brilliant. [Dec 2008, p.96]

    Another shining example of how the simplest concept can be the most addictive. [Nov 2008, p.84]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 92 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    As a remake this is recommended, but as it's a 'new' game in the UK it's essential. [Feb 2009, p.76]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    If you can ignore the casual wrapping, there's a pretty good puzzle game to be found here, even if it's not quite as good as Puzzle Quest. [Feb 2009, p.87]

    For borderline shovelware, Winter Sports actually looks pretty good. [Apr 2009, p.86]
