243 reviewsWarioWare: Snapped! is more of a tech demo than a full game, so if you're looking for something that you can use to show off the DSi's camera, go for it.
Brain Age Express: Math is a decent collection of math-themed minigames, but it's a little too pricey to recommend.
Art Style: AQUIA is a good, basic puzzle game with enough of a hook to keep you coming back for more.
Master of Illusion Express: Funny Face is only two dollars, but it's so incredibly thin that it feels more like a demo than something you should actually have to pay for.

Bird & Beans is a great little time-waster that's available at a great little price.
Rhythm Heaven's quirky minigames keep you guessing while giving you plenty of things to do and plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
Uno Rush is vastly different from its predecessor, replacing cold strategy and slow-paced fun with something much more intense.
Wanted: Weapons of Fate is fun while it lasts, but it doesn't last very long and doesn't give you great reasons to play through it a second time.
WWE Legends of Wrestlemania contains some great, nostalgic moments, but the rest of the package is a letdown.
While the bloody combat in MadWorld makes a terrific first impression, this is a perfect example of a game that puts style over substance.
While the game is conceptually interesting, Matt Hazard's "return" comes up short in just about every way imaginable.
Tom Clancy's HAWX changes up the flight combat formula in a couple of interesting ways, but at its core it's a little too basic to hold your attention.
Killzone 2 offers terrific class-based multiplayer that will keep you coming back long after the campaign is finished.
There are moments of questionable quality sprinkled throughout 50 Cent's latest video game adventure, but if you're looking for something silly and totally over-the-top, Blood on the Sand is actually kind of hilarious.
For what Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection lacks in quality, it at least partially makes up for by its sheer quantity of emulated games.
Retro Game Challenge has some awesome concepts behind it, but it gets painfully repetitive in spots, which throws a wet blanket on an otherwise-charming game.
Afro Samurai's exciting and graphic combat is its strongest suit, but that fighting is bogged down by enough issues that make it tough to recommend.
Skate 2 makes a load of interesting changes to the structure of the average skateboarding game and includes enough interesting multiplayer options to keep players going for awhile.
If you're after some quality 2D fighting, KOF Collection offers that, but the package comes with some caveats that make it a little unappealing.
If this is your first Lumines game, you'll probably enjoy it. But as the latest in a long line of rudimentary updates, it gets old quick.
