Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
- As with any rehash of a great, it's the problems that stand out, but the uninitiated will find a huge amount to love. DK's still playing his second fiddle very nicely.
- Accessible beat-'em-up that puts on a dazzling display. Comic fans will love its use of DC, but shallow gameplay puts this in the 'luxary purchase' bracket.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity
- Perfect for some and hellish for others. You know the phrase "know your audience"? Make sure you know you're that audience before getting this.
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
- It's amazing that it's so far from finished. We're not sure if it's the developer, the publisher or both, but someone should be ashamed of themselves. Awful.
- Like Lady Zozo, its heart is in the right place, but its arms and legs are on backwards and inside out. Too monotonous to be entertaining.
Resident Evil: Revelations HD
- What had the potential to be the best Resi of recent years ends up being merely a solid port. The overall experience still plays best on 3DS.
- Toki Tori 2 features puzzling of the highest order in a world that could afford to be a little more user-friendly. Be brave and give it a go.
- It's technically impressive(ish), but not as fun or funny as the Wii U game. Younger gamers who haven't played GTA will still enjoy it, though.
- If this is indicative of how you get to Heaven, we'll stay down here, thanks. Or try for the other place.
- Alien Chaos 3D is less chaotic than real cleaning, but that's actually a good thing for once. Take that, Mum.
Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue
- "Drowning in ideas" might sound like it's a compliment, but it's really a very unpleasant experience. Blub-blub-blub.
- In no scenario should you consider subjecting kids to this. Certainly not in a world where Nintendo Land exists.
- Someone needs to learn when games need to be put out to pasture. Stick with the recent DS Moons for your farm fun.
- Simple and unashamedly one-note, this opens your eyes to the benefit of streamlined ideas, executed perfectly.
