God of War Ascension is one of the most beautiful, brutal and funny action games you can play these days. This prequel definitely lives up to its predecessor.

DS. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you’ll decorate and expand a house, fish and catch bugs, and assume a number of mayoral duties—all while you make a bunch of new, quirky friends. Who knew that a sleepy town of anthropomorphic animals could be so fulfilling? A Good Match For: Self- directed gamers with a strong, child- like sense of wonder and a penchant for creativity.

You’re given a house and a whole town to play with, along with charming villagers. What will you do with it all, how will your personality shine?

It’s a turn- based tactical role- playing game like Final Fantasy Tactics or Devil Survivor, but with a twist: As your combatants fight alongside one another, they can fall in love. If you keep them paired up, they’ll boost one another’s stats, and they can even get married and have kids together. Without all the love and marriage, Fire Emblem: Awakening would be an immaculately designed, rewarding, and difficult strategy game. With all the love and marriage, it becomes one of the best strategy games on any system, and certainly one of the best games on the 3. DS. A Good Match For: Strategy fans, people who like games where loss carries real consequences, romantics, micromanagers, matchmakers.

The latest Phoenix Wright game is the best one yet, and that’s saying something, given the generally high quality of Capcom’s long- running series of comical lawyer- simulators. One part detective game and one part visual novel, Dual Destinies tells the tale of defense attorney Phoenix Wright and his can- do subordinates Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes as they embark upon zany adventures in the name of justice.

The new game is a great entry point for the series, as knowledge of past games isn’t required, though there are still plenty of fun callbacks for longtime fans. Phoenix’s world may be trapped in a dark age of the law, but Dual Destinies is a 3. DS bright spot. A Good Match For: Wannabe detectives, anime fans, people who like jokes, hawk- enthusiasts. Not a Good Match For: Those who want a lot of action—Phoenix Wright games involve a lot of reading, and the new one is no different. Read our review. Watch it in action.

What began as a remake of the Super Nintendo classic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is now one of the most delightfully charming adventures available on any game platform. The perfect melding of the old and new into something better than the sum of its parts. A Good Match For: Old- school role- playing fans looking to recapture the magic of the 2. D era without sacrificing fidelity — and just about everyone else. Not a Good Match For: Sub- humans.

Sequels don’t all have to be bad. Take Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. It’s a follow- up to sequel to the 2. Game. Cube game that will make players chuckle, as Mario’s skinnier brother suck sucks up ghosts using a souped- up vacuum.

More than that, though, it’s a new installment that successfully adds multiplayer and new mechanics—love that Dark Light!—in ways that don’t ruin an already- fun experience. A Good Match For: Sidekick lovers. Sure, he’s a big ol’ fraidy- cat in this game but Luigi gets to amble through an exceedingly clever set of designs in Dark Moon. Whether it’s things like pulling away curtains to reveal coins and secret passages or stunning a handful of ghosts to suck them up all at once, Luigi feels resourceful in a way that’s not possible when he’s playing second fiddle to Mario.

Not a Good Match For: Those who want to leave previously explored environments behind. This Luigi’s Mansion makes you backtrack and revisit various levels a lot, without offering up compelling reasons for doing so. Read our review. Watch it in action. Purchase from: Amazon Wal- Mart Best Buy Game.

Metroid: Samus Returns is a remake of the 1. Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus, and it’s a worthy remake at that. It’s still got that lonely feeling of exploration, those dense and secret- filled alien caves, and that killer soundtrack. The game sticks to the unusual concept of the Game Boy game, too, but with some new tricks that encourage a more active playsyle and make it harder to get stuck.

Samus Returns is a good Metroid game, and a great way to revisit a pivotal story moment for the series. A Good Match For: People who like exploring and discovering secrets, people who hate Metroids. Not A Good Match For: People who hate backtracking, people who love Metroids and would never want to see one harmed. Read our review. Watch it in action.

What they did need to do, though, for the franchise’s 3. DS debut was find a way to add new elements that would tap into the device’s key features. Hence, the addition of glider wings, aerial sections, submersible karts and underwater detours. You can steer using the gyroscope while airborne and the will get the benefit of a nice 3. D pop when you’re soaring or submerged. Just goes to show that your wheels don’t have to be in the ground for a Mario Kart to still be great. A Good Match for: Bumper car addicts.

The wild unpredictability of Mario Kart races are what make them so fun. Just like the theme park staple, there’s only a loose connection to these vehicles and actual real- world automobiles. Until Toyota includes a forcefield as a standard option, that is. Not a Good Match For: Those who want customization choice. While the ability to swap out bodies and add on details is a new one in MK7, new parts get doled out to you automatically.

It’s at least the best one on the 3. DS, trumping the already- impressive. Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask as it caps off the Layton series’ prequel trilogy. In terms of timeline placement, think Star Wars… this game is the Revenge of the Sith, but just way better). Professor Layton games present a mix of exploration- based, story- heavy adventuring mixed with lots and lots of brain teasers and other puzzles to solve. In this game, which you can enjoy with no prior knowledge of the others, Layton and friends are trying to unlock the power of an ancient civilization and are doing so in a game that actually plays out as a series of short adventures nestled within one grand globe- spanning episode.

God of War: Ascension for Play. Station 3 Reviews. When judged as a game on it's own, i'd give this game a 9, but since this comes after more than 3 other GOW games it really falls short. The graphics and environments are magnificent as always, perhaps better than any other GOW game, and fortunately there is little backtracking. The Story line jumps around quite a bit, with little explanation for the first few hours. Once it is explained it all falls into place and gives the game more meaning and enjoyment. If you are a GOW veteran, you will immediately notice that this game feels different.

Firstly I noticed how quiet the game is, with hardly any background music in combat except for boss battles. Combat is very 'samey' as opposed to other GOW games, as your only weapons are the blades of chaos which do get elemental upgrades, but these hardly change combat. The rage system is fatally flawed, with you slowly gaining rage during combat, but if you get hit once or twice it resets almost to zero which makes fights painfully long, as does the fact that most enemies seem to have an extremely massive amount of health. The upgrades are not at all exciting, with each element adding almost the same combos to your blades, just with a different color. Watch Flicka 2 Online Hulu more. The elements don't do much at all, except when your rage bar is full, or when you use magic, in which the spell is determined by the element currently equipped.

There are quite a few extremely annoying sections wherein Kratos is in the back of the scene, so small you can hardly see but still in battle, and quick- time sections that are extremely unforgiving which takes much trial and error to see the tiny quick- time indicators that flicker away in less than a second. For example all of the sliding sections could be removed completely as these were extremely frustrating.

Most of the puzzles are well executed, with only a few moments of confusion which actually made the puzzles more enjoyable. There was only one puzzle that made little sense and after half an hour of trial and error I resulted in looking up an online guide. Enemy variety was a bit lacking, with enemy types seeming to be random in most locations. Most other GOW games, the enemies fit the area, but here in many places it seemed like any enemy would be randomly thrown into battle. Many battles were painfully long, with wave after wave of enemies joining the fight before the previous wave had been defeated. After finishing the single player, and playing the multi- player tutorial, it became clear why the combat in single player is so limited (and boring).

Multi- player includes various weapons that are sadly lacking from single player, which add much needed variety and complexity to combat. If the multiplayer weapons were added to the single- player campaign, more music was added throughout, and less godlike enemies with more more enemy variety, this game would be 1.
