As much as I enjoy Sonic’s 2D platforming outings, they all share a particular similitude. If Tails Adventure (and please note, this isn't a grammar fail on our part, the game really isn't called "Tales' Adventure" like it should be - ed) is any indicator, though, that sameness may be a lynchpin upholding their general level of quality. Tails Adventure tosses many Sonic clichés and design choices to the wolves seemingly to be more alluring to fans of more methodical exploration.

Unconventional or not though, its take on the 2D platformer falls flat enough that fans of either gameplay style won’t find much left to appreciate.

Story time, folks! Back when I was a young journalist money was tight to come by. Because young journalists don't earn much money, see. Then one day I got an abscess in the mouth. Because dentists are expensive and because I was young and stupid I ignored it. And of course it burst.

One of the joys of writing game reviews is that sometimes it’s the least expected games that surprises you. When Big John Games’ Ohno Odyssey came across my desk, the thought that came to mind was: “Oh no!” Yet, this charming little alien filled physics-based puzzle game proved my initial reactions wrong and put a smile on my face each and every time one of the little aliens cried “Oh no!”, as they approached their inevitable demise.

Word games and video games were two of my favourite pastimes growing up but the two largely remained segregated affairs. Back in the day, the simplicity of handhelds condemned crosswords and the like to the realm of pencil and paper. It’s somewhat disheartening, then, that Word Wizard 3D arrives years after Nintendo established workable pricing schemes, visuals, and controls yet isn’t able to outclass the standard dollar store activity book.

I would be impressed if I met anyone who had managed to completely avoid zombie games, books and films. Over the past decade, zombies have gone from African/ Haitian reanimated corpse (depending on which mythology you choose to believe is the genesis for the zombie) to horror monster to an apocalyptic force in media, especially in the world of video games.

Many will regard Rune Factory 4 as yet another release in the farming meets fighting franchise. While that is indeed an accurate assessment, this particular entry perfects the balance of said components and expands on them with variety that outweighs other major players in the genre. It’s also the most addictive game I’ve played this year besides Animal Crossing and for many of the same reasons. If you’re remotely intrigued by the concept Neverland has been pumping out for several years, there’s no better starting point than the cream of the crop.

Enjoy Gaming has been coming out with quite a few DSiWare games over the last couple of months, and while some of them like Little Red Riding Hood and Puss In Boots from the Tales to Enjoy! series were aimed at small children, Astro looks to be geared toward an older crowd by presenting a shooting title set against a science fiction story.

Toon Link is getting a lot of love lately, first with the Wind Waker HD remake for the Wii U, and now he is showing up in some screenshots of the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game.

Letter Challenge is a straightforward edutainment game for the Nintendo's DSi service that anyone can enjoy. The simplistic layout and limited content is perfect for players of all ages who want to kill some time and test their spelling skills. Right off the bat I'm going to tell you that it's perfect for young kids and aging parents as it's addicting and accessible for the less serious gamers out there.

Amidst all the AAA blockbuster titles releasing in the coming months, one of my more anticipated titles has to be Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies. It’s been a few slow years for Ace Attorney fans – not only did the 6th game in the series not see a release outside of Japan, the live-action movie has also been limited to a Japanese release.

Puss In Boots is another of the many titles in the Tales to Enjoy! series by Enjoy Gaming. The intent with these titles is laser focused on children roughly four or five years of age. Adults or older gamers probably will not get much out of these games, but that leaves the question: will children enjoy them?

Sometimes games have a target audience in mind, and that audience is the only one who will 'get it'. Enjoy Gaming is gearing this title and others from its Tales to Enjoy! series toward younger children. This is evident as soon as you start the game up, and that is not a bad thing - it is just that the appeal to those outside of that target bracket (think around six years old give or take a couple of years) might not find much to hold their interest.

While we’ve only just published our Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan review here at DDNet, let’s not forget that Atlus’ Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl is rapidly approaching its October 1st release date on the 3DS.

To get you hyped up for the next installment in this old-school JRPG grindfest, Atlus has opened the iron gates of its upcoming title on the 3DS eShop, granting access to the first two floors of the game’s Story Mode. Whether you purchase the game at retail or digitally once it is released, be sure not to delete your save data from the demo version, as it will carry over right into the full release of the game.

Sonic Generations on home consoles far exceeded the standards of the average anniversary game. Ironing out the kinks of Sega’s past efforts such as Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours, the game seamlessly rotated between 2D and 3D mechanics and transcended what could have been a cash-in nostalgia gimmick. Backed up by gorgeous visuals and one of the finest soundtracks in the entire franchise, it’s no wonder fans see the once-troubled hedgehog as on the rise.

Calling Sonic Labyrinth one of the less beloved titles in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is something of an understatement. A frequent contender for worst game in the series during fan discussions, Sonic Labyrinth makes its debut on the 3DS to virtually zero applause. Yet in some perverse way, it actually managed to captivate me.
