I really enjoyed playing the 2D version of this when it came out. I picked it up as a bargain knowing little about it and didn’t play it for a while then got really hooked. Not only that but I also got my wife hooked on it. So when the news of a version inContinue reading “Review: Picross 3D”

Downloadable DS demos on the Wii
Just a very quick one here. Did you know that you can download demos of games to your DS from your Wii (if you have both of course)? On the Wii you need the Nintendo channel.

In smaller puzzles, like the starterContinue reading “Review: Picross”
