A literally endless supply of Mario levels is at your fingertips, as long as you don't mind if they aren't up to Nintendo's standard of quality. Getting creative with the tools is fun, and so is seeing what others have devised

Mar 16, 2015

Mario Party is good at creating an excuse for jovial arguments and competition with friends, but it continues to favor random chance over identifiable mechanics and tactics

Rainbow Curse is different from any other platformer out there. I got frustrated by Kirby's insistence on staying rolled into a ball, but plenty of moments of innovation and fun appear throughout

The gameplay will be familiar to fans of NES platformers, but there are plenty of surprises thanks to its shifting themes and levels

Even without being remade, Majora's Mask stands as one of the most interesting and thought-provoking entries. The experience has only been made better for the 3DS

Vying for points next to a collection of friends scratches many of the same multiplayer itches as Super Smash Bros.

Lumino City is a gorgeous enough to grab anyone's attention, but stays within the boundaries of its genre conventions

Neverending Nightmares is an examination of inescapable sadness and horror. I can't call it fun, but it left a lasting impression on me

The dancing is fun, as it always has been in Dance Central, but a number of discarded features and bugs make this the weakest game in the Dance Central series

With fun gameplay, interesting combat tactics, and cool weapons, Crimsonland almost elevates itself above its exceptionally boring presentation

Some technical limitations hold Lifeless Planet back from being a completely immersive adventure, but ultimately the experience is memorable
