Terrian Saga: KR-17 PC Game Reviews

Terrian Saga: KR-17

If you enjoy classic platforming action where some exploration and puzzle solving is required you will love KR-17. The developers have managed to perfectly capture the audio and visual style of a 90s era title, but made the gameplay accessible enough for modern players. The game still packs a challenge, but keeps things varied to prevent repetition. It is also priced very low, so there is no excuse to not try it out.

Gameplay: A great mixture of platforming, puzzle solving and enemy blasting.

Graphics: The game looks like it was ripped straight out of the 90s.

Sound: A great soundtrack with some nice sound effects thrown in too

Untold Legends: Brotherhood Of The Blade Handheld Reviews

Untold Legends: Brotherhood Of The Blade

While it is very cool to play a title like this on the go it does become somewhat boring after a while. There is just something lacking with this game that prevents it from reaching the same level of addictiveness as similar titles. Very impressive fora launch title though.

Gameplay: Fun for a portable hack and slash title but way too repetitive.

Graphics: Impressive but could have benefited from a bit more color.

Sound: Sold but unremarkable

Viva Piñata Console Reviews

Viva Piñata

Viva Pinata is one of those games where looks can very deceiving. Although it looks like a children’s game that would offer no challenge to older players it actually packs some nice gameplay features and a ton of stuff to do. It’s not perfect but there’s hours of fun to be had here.

Gameplay: Way more addictive than I ever thought it would be.

Graphics: Maybe a bit too childish for some but definitely very cute.

Sound: Loads of critter sound effects and nice ambient noises

WarioWare: Touched! Handheld Reviews

WarioWare: Touched!

The touch screen controls work perfectly and there are plenty of micro games to play but for WarioWare veterans this game will be over all too soon. There’s some great ideas here but even with the tons of extras the longevity suffers a bit. It’s still a good game however and perfectly for killing a few spare minutes.

Gameplay: Good but don’t expect that much variety.

Graphics: Not much better than Gameboy Advance but fits the game style.

Sound: Some catchy tunes

Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate Console Reviews

Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate

Xena fans will probably enjoy seeing all their favourite characters in action but this just feels to simplistic for my taste. The characters all look a little dodgy too.

Gameplay: There is fun to be had, especially in the multiplayer mode.

Graphics: Some of the characters look a little strange.

Sound: Passable

Yoshi Touch & Go Handheld Reviews

Yoshi Touch & Go

As launch titles go Yoshi Touch N Go does a good job of showing off the new features that the DS sports but overall it never feels like it is more than two mini-games. It is definitely fun while it lasts but once you’ve broken the high-scores and played it a few times you’ll find how limited it is.

Gameplay: Addictive but the novelty wears off very quickly.

Graphics: Bright, clear and very colorful.

Sound: Some very “tropical” sounding tunes

Zuma Deluxe Console Reviews

Zuma Deluxe

Someone that has never played a version of this game using a computer mouse would probably enjoy it more but it is definitely not a bad game. The gameplay is very addictive and there are more than enough levels to keep you playing for a long time. Checking out the demo first is highly recommended however.

Gameplay: Would have been better if the controls were more precise.

Graphics: Nice but nothing special.

Sound: Catchy tunes that will stick in your head

Super Dodge Ball Advance Gameboy Advance Game Reviews

Super Dodge Ball Advance

Super Dodge Ball Advance is a lot of fun at first but once you have won a few Championships and seen all the super moves there is not much left to do. Multi-player gives it some more longevity and if you have a game link cable with a friend to join in you can easily add another point or two to the score.

Gameplay: Fairly basic but fast paced and fun.

Graphics: Colorful and detailed 2d visuals.

Sound: Not the best I have heard but generally ok
