Tintin only has itself to blame for its shortcomings: for every exciting moment there’s a turgid interlude which drags the overall experience down. While these distractions are more tedious bore than hair-pulling aggravation there’s no doubt their omission would’ve made for a tighter and ultimately better game.

Buy it. Love it. And get to work making some of your very own Pushmo, because I want to play them.

WWE All Stars was a good wrestling game when it first shipped to stores this past Spring. Not a great one -- since it had a few issues holding it back -- but still a good one, with a fun premise of making the past and present of the WWE come together and collide. And now, eight months later on the 3DS, it's still a good game. It's just disappointing that the developers only added a handful of mostly inconsequential extra modes in the interim, and didn't take that extra time available to fix a few of the first versions' flaws.

Whereas the console version of Sonic Generations is a blending of old and new mentality in a fast-paced speed fest, the 3DS version is mostly just a Sonic Rush game where both playable characters happen to be Sonic. Fun platforming and nostalgia are all up in the game, but it’s actually a small step backwards for handheld hedgehog games.

Anno 2070 isn't simply a re-skinned version of its predecessors. While the many of the core elements remain intact, the new ecological focus adds a lot to the gameplay. Sure, I was lured in by Anno 2070's good looks, but its brains and depth that make this one a real beauty. She's a keeper.

Mario Kart 7 marks yet another return to Nintendo's kart-racing franchise. Though the character roster should have been larger, and a cheap blue shell can still screw up an otherwise perfect race, MK7 still offers enough innovation to keep this old formula feeling fresh.

To the Moon is a challenging game to write about because the only real reason to play it is the story. I could go deeper into the plot, but spoiling it would be a great disservice to any potential players; suffice to say that the story is good enough to recommend this game despite its relatively weak gameplay.

While it’s admirable that the team had opted to create an original story set alongside the events in the books, you’ll wish that they had attempted to take more risks with the project. The characters are bland and lifeless, and the combat, while fun at first, gets pretty repetitive before too long

That being said, for the Tekken purists out there, there is a lot to love. From the 3D film to the HD-ified Tekken Tag Tournament, if you are a super fan of the series, this is a solid chunk of Tekken content, and a fine way to pass the time until Tekken Tag Tournament 2 hits.

It looks dated and silly the first time you see it, but the visuals of Minecraft are instantly memorable. I love the way it looks. A great adventure game and a fantastic sand box where I can do just about anything I can dream up. If you don’t like your world just create a new one and see what the generator comes up with. The only reason to stop playing is because your imagination has nothing left to give.
