Curling is a not a sport you often see adapted into a video game. While it does occasionally appear on platforms, it usually comes as part of a set of mini-games as opposed to an independent release. This makes Cypronia’s Curling Super Championship a rather unique entry to the DSiWare…
Read MoreIt’s another quality week for Nintendo’s download service as the eShop plays host to superheroes, outlaws, and a classic ape. I almost feel spoiled by the last two weeks of demos on the 3DS. Last week, if you’ll recall, LEGO Batman 2 landed on the service (and was great). This…
Read MoreTumble Pop is the kind of game the Game Boy really excelled at. It’s a simple, joyous little arcade game, and while it’s a title that’s largely been forgotten to history, it’s a game that is worth looking at again now. Released back in 1993, it’s a simple take on…
Read MoreI’m not quite sure what the point of 3D Solitaire is. I mean, it’s a card game – perhaps the most basic popular card game of all time – and I’m not sure anyone was hanging out for a 3D take on it when the 3DS was announced. Card games…
Read MoreHot on the heels of E3, the latest Nintendo Download is jam packed with trailers and a very cool download in the form of the LEGO Batman 2 demo. Batman 2, in case you don’t know, should just probably just have been titled LEGO Justice League since it features all…

Read MoreYour favorite limbless cartoon hero slaps the 3DS’ virtual console silly this week as the original Rayman lands on the service- and there’s even something for Wii owners! To many, the first Rayman was the best game to feature the Ubisoft character till the recently released Rayman Origins. There’s just…
Read MoreThe eShop is starting to dangerously veer the same way that DSiWare did. It’s filling up with premium-priced minigames and second tier-genres. As good as the likes of Zen Pinball and Pushmo are, to date the only real game that could be realistically compared to a retail release is Nintendo’s…
Read MoreYou can’t get much more ‘classic’ in the portable gaming realm than Game & Watch can you? Get ready to relive the ’80s on your Nintendo 3DS in this week’s Nintendo Download. Who doesn’t remember (unless you weren’t born yet) the magical days of ‘playing’ on a tiny LCD screen?…
Read MoreKirby is ever reliable for two things: firstly his games are full of charm, and secondly they’re obscenely easy. Too easy, as was the case of the original Kirby’s Dream Land. The sequel is the more balanced game, but just be aware that the price you’re paying here is not…
