These all look horrible, wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
My DS, which I love so very much, has had a kanji dictionary plugged in for about 4 months now and is proving to the most useful gaming device I have ever owned. |

Sure, I use Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-4... which is proving invaluable in my Japanese studies. If you want to learn kanji on the cheap, without buy an expensive electronic dictionary from Japan, I highly recommend this. |

>Ooooh goody! A collection of games for my DS that are SHIT!
But if every game on a machine was 10/10 quality, then you'd have to move the bar when judging them, so that the scores are more equally divided to seperate the REALLY good 10/10's from the good 10/10's. Wanting only to give the very best 5% (or less) the best scores. Subsequently the good 10/10's will become 4/10's. And therefor be shit in comparision. So therefor no matter what, you'll always get more shit games than good games. |

Anyone still interested in laser beam puzzle clones, I'll also point them towards the shareware Aargon (http://www.twilightgames.com/aargondelux... which is a prettier looking title than Prism. There's probably a dozen others I can't think of right now.

Prism is in fact excellent. Still, next time I fancy playing it on the bus I'll be sure to bring my PC out with me instead.

True, you can't lug your computer around. As said, the concept's solid, it's just the game as a whole didn't click with me.
Perhaps I should also add, since I didn't get around to it in the review, that the game features music by the late Richard Joseph, composer of such Amiga greats as Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer. An annoyingly catchy loop that gets in your head after five minutes. |

It's ridiculous to suggest that only good games should get reviewed. The game buying public needs to know which games aren't worth buying so they don't waste their money on them.

"beneath it all it's still just Arkanoid. It's still just that game where you can't seem to hit that last brick in the top right corner no matter what angle you hit the ball."
Translation... im crap at the game and i don't like this type of game so ill give it a bad score... IF you like this type of game then you'll love this "clone"(what game isint a clone these days??!!) and obviously if you dont like this type of game... well... steer clear, oh and also dont try to review it yes? http://www.metacritic.com/games/platform... |

"And, yes, you can fill your world with crudely-drawn genitalia, God bless."
Exactly. So I picked up that game. I kinda felt sorry for them at PAX too. Instead of getting booth space from THQ, they had to hire someone who walked around for 3 days with about 5 DSs that sent demos out to whoever wanted one. |
