    The Sims 3 for 3DS is simplified down to match the platform, but in turn loses most of its original appeal.

    A campy turn-based adventure with the right idea, Tactical Soldier: Undead Rising discharges gameplay riddled with flaws both superficial and substantive flaws that make it tough to recommend.

    Despite offering little new, Air Supply has enough charm and good content to make stand with the best endless running games.

    Absorbing to look at and play, Liqua Pop bursts what fun there is by turning the pressure too high.

    Confused in almost every regard, No Gravity is a space combat that game that's just no fun.

    Splinter Cell 3D is a great game, ported badly. Some subtle 3D can't make up for controller and camera issues, or glaring missing features.

    The 3D adds much more than you'd think to an already pleasingly deep version of the beautiful game, but it's a shame there's not enough content to back it up.

    Super Monkey Ball 3D loses sight of what made the series so enjoyable in the first place, serving up dull gameplay.

    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    MiniSquadron successfully lands on the Minis runway carrying its trademark intense and engaging flight combat frolics but misses an opportunity to deliver a little more content-related freight.

    A predictably solid new instalment, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 balances a lack of online multiplayer and other problem areas with great swing mechanics and courses.
