And it’s not bad actually. You have to get past some terrible presentation- sprites look awful, especially compared to the original chunky characters, and if they were intent on redoing stuff they could at least have had cheesy chip tune renditions of entrance themes- but it does what it sets out to- its a simple wrestling game that has some of the originals spirit and is pretty well suited to five minute goes here and there.

Three simple words. Pizza. Versus. Skeletons.
You are a pizza. You must fight skeletons, beat them in snowboard challenges, rescue puppies and then sumo wrestle giant skulls off cliffs. It is excellent. -

Puzzle juice is a puzzle game that promises to ’punch your brain in the face’ and it kind of does, being a Tetris like, a match three game and a word game all in one. Pieces fall and you make lines or isolate like colors to turn blocks into letters to make words. Similar in its achievement driving progress structure to something like shibuya. Me like.

Recent iPhone goodie- Justin Smith’s Realistic Summer Sports Simulator, which is anything but. If you’re familiar with Smith’s previous outing Envirobear 2000, you might have an idea of what to expect- MS Paint style visuals and intentionally bad controls leading to physics based hilarity. Far better than I just made it sound.
iPhone baddie- Street Wrestling. This is a Lucha themed beat ’em up that the eagle eyed may recognize as actually being XBLA game Lucha Fury, which reviewed horrendously last summer before being pulled and picked up by chillingo. Dull beat em up, not even making much of the wrestling theme (hey, I liked the story mode in wrestlemania xix) and now with tiny hard to press virtual buttons.
iPhone middlie- Wrestling Manager, which sadly isn’t a Jimmy Hart sim, but is a booking simmulator where you spend in game cash on card packs that contain different wrestlers and gimmicks that you plug into shows. Initially too bare bones but it is steadily being updated. Bit expensive though, especially considering it tries to get you to spill more cash to buy good cards faster. I hate freemium, but this could actually be an amazing freemium game if they tweaked it a bit.

If everybody in the world hasn’t bought Rayman Origins yet on their platform of choice (and I suspect given the timing of its release, people sadly haven’t) they should all go and do it RIGHT NOW. Sublime example of how to do a platformer properly. Best co-op of the year as well if you ask me.
Rayman is next on my list of games to play.

Mario 3D land. The only game this year where absolutely everything clings together perfectly.

Just finished batman arkham city. Great game that really draws you into it’s world (and I’m not a comic book guy in the slightest) but has a weak final hour that’s in such a rush to get to its denouement that final revelations are brushed off and the big climactic boss fight is with another character who pops up out of nowhere.
Also no post of mine is complete without an iOS recommendation, so check out Bring Me Sandwhiches. It’s like katamari damashii if katamari were made as a mid 90s platformer. And had sandwiches instead of balls, natch.

”3rd”. ”3ds” I mean. Damn auto correct.
In reply to - reasonmpw posted an update: It’s a rare thing for there to be a) a new 3rd game worthy of attention, b) that game being available on the e-shop as opposed to being full retail and c) said game being a new ip from nintendo and HAL. 引く押す(pull/push) is all of those though and it’s pretty good.

引く押す(pull/push) is all of those though and it’s pretty good. Charming puzzler that’s about pulling parts of a platforming environment in and out ofthe background in order to rescue little fat space babies. There’s a large enough amount of content there as well that it’s surprising nintendo didn’t slap another couple of modes in there and press itto a cartridge because y’know, that’s how they roll. Not much there to translate so knowing them look for it on the western stores in 30xx.

20th anniversary edition of Eric chahi (from dust)’s seminal Amiga/pc adventure another world is out today. It handles surprisingly well thanks to a reengineered control system that uses taps and swipes rather than the lazy virtual dpad route. Very much of its time (it is essentially a trial and error driven memory test) but tells story through gameplay better than most modern games and creates a hell of an atmosphere.

Jetpack joyride- another endless runner sure, but halfbricks latest has some great powerups, a nice shibuya esque structure where getting game center achievements is how you advance in the game so you have to change up your playstyle all the time, the whole central conceit is that you have a jetpack that flies by the recoil of machine guns attached to the bottom for crying out loud, AND the main character is called Barry Steakfries. What’s not to like?

All stars was a really pleasant surprise for me- not outstanding but good fun and clearly made by people who care about the source material. Wwe 12 meanwhile looks to be every inch a typical yuke’s wrestling game despite the alleged ”big changes”. Colour me skeptical.

My goodness quarrel dx is good. It is risk, except it is scrabble- rather than deciding clashes via dice roll, you have to make the biggest word you can with the troops (letters) you have to capture territory. Scrabble is good, risk is also good, both together is a delight.
