Review by Nick H. 

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the recently released Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on the PlayStation 3. It offered some neat throwbacks to Sonic or Mario in there with its 3D platforming and power-ups. Namco Bandai made a game with the same name for the Nintendo 3DS as well, and it is a game with some similarities to the non-handheld versions, but many notable differences as well.

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.

This has been a really good year for the Nintendo 3DS - doubly so if you are a fan of RPG titles. Shin Megami Tensei IV is still fresh in my mind as I had a chance to play another dungeon crawling RPG. In fact, it was not that long ago that the latest entry to Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan was released, but Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl does an excellent job of balancing what gamers loved about the original game, with new mechanics that have been hits far more often than misses.

The Shin Megami Tensei series does not quite have the same reputation for brutal difficulty of the likes of Fire Emblem, though it certainly comes close and the series can be somewhat difficult for newcomers and is rooted very firmly in a lot of the 'typical' JRPG principles. You'll be looting, grinding and figuring out elemental weaknesses here, and that works out just fine.

I had a chance recently to review a fishing title from Big John Games recently, and with both titles being of the sports variety, it makes you wonder if this is the direction they will continue to go. Bowling is one of those games that is fairly simple in premise, but can be a challenge to create replay value for on almost any system. I think to date that Wii Bowling is probably my favourite video game iteration of the sport, but Smash Bowling 3D does a good, but not great, job of giving you the game on the go.

Sometimes games do not need deep, branching mechanics or involved story lines carried along by fully voice cutscenes. Sometimes a game just needs to be something you can pick up, play, have some fun with, and then go about whatever else you had in mind for the rest of your afternoon. Chain Blaster is one of those games, where it does not have the kind of complex hooks that a full priced title like Star Fox 64 3D might provide, but what it does give you is an entertaining shooting experience at a reasonable price.
