    Regardless the shortcomings, Nintendo definitely deserves praise for yet again hiring not one but two orchestras to play the game's soundtrack start to end– hearing real strings and percussion, occasionally augmented by sci-fi synthesizer, adds a lushness to the soundtrack that Metroid has long deserved.
    • Metascore: 81

    Most importantly, Eurocom nails the Bond look and feel, letting Wii owners step into the shoes of the secret agent.

    Super Scribblenauts shines with polish, cleverness and ingenuity.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 91
    Despite some minor platforming quibbles, DreamRift's crafted a wonderful number that defies any generic description, and platformer/role-playing/adventure enthusiasts (hah) should definitely check it out.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 91
    Players who have already exhausted the experience have no reason to buy it again unless they are extremely eager to see it flourish on a handheld.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 91
    Anything bad you remember regarding Vendetta, you won't see it in this follow-up.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 91
    As it stands, the depth and longevity of the Race to the Top mode and the excellent play mechanics all add to the overall value of this game.
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 91
    While the game might not be the greatest single player adventure we've seen this year, it very well may be the best multi-player one.
    • Metascore: 87
    • Critic Score 91
    You simply can’t get bored of it and it’s literally fun for all of your friends and family. How can you go wrong at all? It’s a wicked game.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 91
    The most important thing about this game is that it's realistic, which means that the immersion value is definitely higher than in a fantasy game like "TimeSplitters 2."
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 91
    Even with the title's faults (unbalanced difficulty, sometimes irritating radio transmissions, and an occasionally choppy frame-rate) this is <I>the</I> best Metal Gear game of the series to date.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 91
    A disorienting thrill ride of white/black strategy; an unbelievable roller coaster of shooting glory.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 91
    With a lengthy 60-70 hours of gameplay, Origins is more than worth its value in longevity. Highly recommended.
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 91
    It's insane to think that NST made this incredibly fast gaming engine from scratch. However, much like the sexual performance of most North American males, this game is fast and exciting but it just doesn't last. I'm sorry Nintendo but three variations and three mirrored tracks doesn't constitute nine tracks in total.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 91
    Seeds of Evil is an adrenaline thrill ride from start to finish. I strongly suggest a purchase as the multiplayer alone warrants a buy.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 91
    Put simply, outstanding.
    • Metascore: 87

    The mere fact that this game has the power to rekindle those early feelings of PokéBliss in even the most seasoned-Pokémaniacs is a testament to its freshness and originality.

    Ocarina of Time 3D succeeds largely because it does not tamper with the original title, striking the perfect balance between old and new content.
    • Metascore: 93
    • Critic Score 91
    The moments where the odd discordant cadence make us yearn for times gone by come a little too often, even though it's by far the greatest testimony and most successful game to fulfil the promise of one-to-one motion control. It's an apt swan song for our little white console, but ultimately it's flown a little too close to the sun.

    While it may not be quite the evolutionary leap forward that Super Mario Galaxy was, Super Mario 3D Land is still a vital installment in the long-running franchise.
    • Metascore: 90

    Beating each stage is pure joy, symbolizing our ascent beyond our childhood years– or perhaps how they stay with us constantly, only even more vivid than before.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Critic Score 91
    While it would have been nice to have a few more stages to clear before the final confrontation, it's hard to fault the game for not wanting it to end, especially when what is here is already so enjoyable. Anyone with a penchant for reflex-based gameplay (and a few digital bucks to spend) need look no further for their next eShop purchase.
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 91
    A game well worth the price tag. For $29.99, this is a bargain in an age where the average Wii game is about $49.99. I'd recommend you all to pick it up, especially if you love rhythm games or at least enjoy the strange and surreal. Just be careful not to chuck your Wii remote at the screen if you end up sucking at it.

    Simply a delightful game to play. With its rich, lively combat system and entertaining characters, it strikes a masterful balance between engaging gameplay and heartfelt story-telling.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 91
    With almost a hundred levels and the constant drive to beat the high score on every one, the game demands an unrelenting combination of both brains and reflexes that is unmatched elsewhere on Nintendo eShop. Its difficulty may be high, but as with every puzzler, there's a solution: just add practice.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 91
    Whether the 3D effects are worth that extra soy latte is up to the consumer, but they're certainly good-looking– and SpeedX 3D is great-playing.
    • Metascore: 93
    • Critic Score 91
    Minor complaints aside, it's great to see an enhanced version of Cave Story available on eShop. The stereoscopic 3D adds a little depth, which is nice, and the game controls as wonderfully as ever. But once again, choosing the best version depends on personal preference.

    Despite my small grievances, I still welcome the new return to Unova with open arms.

    These Pokémon adventures will likely be the swan song of the ageing Nintendo DS system, so I'm glad to see it go out on such a high note. Whether you're a Pokémaniac, a rookie trainer, or a nostalgic Red & Blue fanboy, Black & White 2 are must-play games.
