    This tough-as-nails 2D racer offers countless hours of physics-based fun, especially in chaotic four-player mode.

    Dillon's Rolling Western is expensive but this tower defence game is also one of the best 3D games available in the eShop.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 87
    Builds slightly messier puzzles on the Pullblox's simple foundations, but still manages to deliver hours of outstanding spatial conundrums. Easily one of eShop's best.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 87
    There are elements we can't defend, such as the dated visuals, or the limited soundtrack, but taken as a whole, Devil Survivor Overclocked is a huge, ambitious game that works perfectly on its own terms.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 86
    Scoring a field goal by flicking the Wii Remote feels genuinely satisfying. [Christmas 2006, p.74]
    • Metascore: 69
    • Critic Score 86
    Still the best WWII shooter around and the Wii Remote and Nunchuk serve to enhance the experience. With a multiplayer mode it would have been pure gold. [Christmas 2006, p.78]
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 86
    A brilliant turnaround for Bomberman adventuring and a great mutliplayer game for your DS. [Mar 2007, p.76]

    • Metascore: 55
    • Critic Score 86
    Serious boxing action that isn't spoilt by silly effects. Don King's Boxing is a great option. [Apr 2009, p.68]
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 86
    From time to time a game really creeps out of nowhere and takes you by surprise. A handheld version of a cult PC game, Trackmania is one such gem. [Dec 2008, p.96]
    • Metascore: 72
    • Critic Score 86
    It'd have a Gold Award but for the camera. That aside, it's pretty wonderful. [Dec 2008, p.75]
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 86
    Funnier than "Episode One." If only that strategy bit wasn't quite so annoying. [Dec 2008, p.87]
    • Metascore: 73

    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 86
    It's a shame that it's so short, otherwise this is easily one of the best games on the Wii. [Mar 2010, p.73]

    It's not perfect, but it's a highly enjoyable, unique twist on first person action gaming.

    "Quotation Forthcoming"
    • Metascore: 83

    If you're on the lookout for a puzzle game that has a gripping story, a funny script and a cast of colourful characters that offers something a little different, Ghost Trick is a resounding success.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 86
    After Shantae: Risky's Revenge, Aliens Infestation and Mighty Flip Champs, this is another excellent game from WayForward. Packed with original ideas but there just aren't enough stages.
