Color Zen review

Color me impressed

When I first downloaded and installed Color Zen onto my Wii U, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I knew that it was a puzzle game revolving around colors, but that's about it.

Turtle Tale review

Turtle Tale review

Classic-style platformer that will make a player think

Challenge Mode for hardcore platformers

New Super Luigi U is Nintendo's answer to hardcore platformer fans who have long felt unchallenged by the usual menagerie of Super Mario Bros. games.

Skater Cat falls flat

The concept of a game consisting primarily of a cute little kitty cat skateboarding across various different levels sounds like an interesting idea.
