You may think the Wii was made for first-person shooters, but you are wrong. The Wii was actually made for tilt puzzle games, and we’ve had a pretty good run so far with Super Monkey Ball and Kororinpa. Mercury Meltdown is a little different from those, however. It uses the Wii remote in its sideways [...]

Like most of the TurboGrafx games showing up on the Virtual Console, Chew-Man-Fu is fairly obscure and probably not known to a lot of you. It’s an action/puzzle game with embarrassingly heavy doses of Chinese stereotyping. It hasn’t aged so well, either, having been originally released in 1990 and showcasing some rather plain graphics and [...]

Few genres fit the Wii as perfectly as this. You’re going to see a lot of tilt puzzles in the future, if you haven’t seen enough already. Unlike the Wii’s mini-game fetish, though, there’s still room to love those games that twist your stomach in a knot and get your hands a sweatin’ as you [...]

In the follow-up to one of the best puzzle games on DS, Q Entertainment decided to take their tried and true gameplay mechanic and blend it with Disney characters to create a new experience for Meteos fans. With plenty of replay value and Disney charm, the folks at Q Entertainment are aiming to expand the [...]

Before Tetris DS was released, if you told someone that Tetris could make a large impact on a next-gen gaming system, they would break into fits of hysterical laughter. After all, Tetris is a thing of the past. It is fine for sentimental old schoolers who relive the 8-bit glory days by delighting in falling [...]

The puzzle genre is thriving on the Nintendo DS. I’m not sure if it’s the stylus, the dual screens or the wireless network play, but puzzles have seriously taken over. There’s Polarium, Snood 2, Bust-A-Move, Meteos, Pokémon Trozei and Tetris. How long has the DS been out? Jeez, I was hoping to at least see [...]

There are only two puzzle games that have remained just as fun now as they were when first released: Tetris and Bust A Move. You may argue that Lumines and Meteos will soon meet those requirements, but nobody can deny that Tetris and Bust A Move have enjoyed long-lasting success with hundreds of iterations and [...]

Meteos is here and it’s another solid puzzle game released during the recent wave of great puzzlers hitting hand held systems. Made from the creators of Lumines, Meteos is a touch-pad based puzzle game that offers some new twists to an old and familiar genre. Putting the DS touch-pad to use, the game combines a [...]

Boulder Dash is one of those games that has been cloned so many times, the original is all but forgotten. It’s easy to forget, anyway, since this game is older than dirt, and yes, I said “dirt” on purpose. Well, life is complete again, because Boulder Dash is back in this fine-tuned GBA game that [...]

Sheep have become a commonplace joke in video game design. They’ve served as a profitable investment (Harvest Moon), innocent obstacles that explode when clicked repeatedly (Warcraft II), objects to be smashed or punched or cut in half (Cel Damage), the latest in kamikaze technology (Worms), catapult filler (Tak and the Power of JuJu), and a [...]
