If you enjoyed Trine 2: The Director’s Cut, you’re going to enjoy Trine: Enchanted Edition. It has the same kind of stunning views, incredible atmosphere, and clever puzzles.

OlliOlli offers a lot of content as one of the first cross-buy games for the 3DS, and is pretty fun game. The game can be a bit frustrating at times due to some cheaply placed obstacles, and the graphics leave a bit to be desired, but as a whole, the game is a solid purchase for 3DS owners.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars insures us that this series is still just fun and addictive as ever. Its new online ‘tipping’ system is original, and gives gamers more incentive to keep building. While Cross-Platform functionality is limited, you can’t argue with getting two games for the price of one.

With the lack of shooters on the 3DS though, IronFall Invasion manages to stand tall and offer a fun time. With superb graphics and fast and fun online multiplayer, IronFall Invasion is a solid choice for anyone looking for some shooting action on the go with their Nintendo 3DS. Keep your expectations in line, realize this is a handheld game, and you will probably have a fun time with IronFall Invasion, much like I did.

As far as redeeming factors, the game does feature online leaderboards and a bevy of levels to blow through: 100, to be exact. If you can wade through the slowdown, you might be able to find an enjoyable game. What could have been a solid experience on the 3DS is marred by these issues, and makes it hard to recommend to anyone.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse isn’t going to be a game that is mentioned in Game of the Year conversations at the end of the year, but it is a great way to kill some time in a beautifully created world. ...The title not very deep, and it can be a little hollow at times, but the gorgeous graphics and music, variety in gameplay elements, and generally well thought-out level structure manage to make this game a very solid and enjoyable experience.

At the end of the day, we give Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate our highest recommendation based on our experience, which has been thoroughly outstanding in the short time we\’ve played it.

Ultimately, UWordsmith was never going to draw in a whole lot of people. It did have some potential, with clean visuals and a generally engaging idea, but that was squandered by a misunderstanding of the game\’s own premise (and awful music). If you happen to want to try a picture/word video game with friends, pick it up for just two bucks as it might work in that setting, but for the most part, I must unfortunately suggest that most players pass on the title – even keeping in mind the low price point.

So no, I can\’t recommend Frenchy Bird. I don\’t know why you would want to play Flappy Bird on a console, but if you do, there are other knock-offs on the eShop that at least understand the appeal of what they\’re copying. Two dollars is far too much for a game like this.

For everyone else, Underground is an interesting puzzle game that has an intriguing concept that cannot be fully experienced with standard controls. I would love someday to get my hands on this unique Wii Remote-tool and experience the core elements of Underground, even without being a medical student. Until then, I will enjoy some moments of brilliance, I will get occasionally frustrated with losing some robots on the road due to its tricky and problematic gameplay, but at the end of the day, I can say that I have experienced a unique title that portrays educational aspects of video gaming in a good shape.
