Nintendo DS Screenshots: Sushi Academy

Sushi Academy is a simulation type game in which you prepare and serve sushi. It is kind of fun, but not as entertaining as some other similar type games (i.e. Cooking Mama) I have played. However, I do like it more than computer flash games like this, as the touch screen controls are so much easier for me than using the keyboard and mouse. Overall not really all that interesting, but a little bit of a change of pace from playing other similar games if you are into this genre.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Guilty Party

Guilty Party is an interesting Clue style game. It is fun and challenging with some mini games as part of obtaining the clues. Overall I had a lot of fun playing through the game and finding out the smaller mysteries that lead to solving the major mystery of who is Mr. Valentine. It is a fun twist at the end, although it is obvious who it is in the last mission and you just have to locate the clues to prove it. Major issue is that there is not much replay value and only 7 missions in the first place. Would be nicer if there were more missions.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Polar Bowler

I rented this a few months back on the DS because I like bowling. It was not too bad, but it was not too realistic feeling either. Kind of a fun spin on bowling, though, but not much depth to it or much to keep interest. Pleasing graphics, though.

iPhone Game Screenshots: Toy Story 3 Memory Match

Toy Story 3 Memory Match is a very simple matching game. It is kind of cool with a Toy Story theme and you can get wallpapers/backgrounds to download. However, overall it is pretty lame, as there is not even any challenge to it, such as big boards or fast rounds against the clock.

iPhone Game Screenshots: Online Chess by PlayMesh

I love Online Chess by PlayMesh. It does occasionally have lag issues if you have a low signal, but mostly it runs pretty smoothly. Basically it is just speed chess against random real opponents. Most of the time I like that it is a fast paced thing, but sometimes I wish they had options to have slightly longer games, such as 10 minutes per person.

iPhone Game Screenshots: Bejeweled 2

Bejeweled 2 is a game I had been wanting to buy for my iPhone for a long time. I finally got it this month when I got some iTunes gift cards. I love playing the Blitz on it, which is related to the weekly competition on Facebook. Sure it can be played free on Facebook, but it is so much easier to get a higher score using the iPhone's touch screen. It does occasionally have sync issues, but it is still fun to play the other more classic Bejeweled versions in the app when you cannot connect to Facebook for Blitz.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords

I have played Puzzle Quest on a PC before and thought it was fun. I decided to try it on the DS and was quickly disappointed. It is not that much different, but the tapping around to move between villages and then finally doing a puzzle battle gets annoying quickly when I just want to quickly keep battling. Just not suited to being as fun as a portable game in my opinion, although partly because I just am not as big a fan of Puzzle Quest as the more casual match 3 games.
