"The game mostly manages to walk that fine line between catering toward the casual and the hardcore, but in those moments when it leans more toward the hardcore crowd, you experience DS-shaking frustration. Perhaps I've just outgrown the taste for that punishing, old school flavor, but Henry Hatsworth can be genuinely trying. Despite its colorful graphics, whimsical appeal, and charmingly silly dialogue, this game may just be too difficult for the non-gamers in your life. Heck, I've run through my double digits worth of lives on one boss fight while reviewing this. (Or, alternate theory, I suck.) It's still worthwhile to check out so long as you have realistic expectations, but don't be surprised if your not-so-game-savvy mother can't get past the third world."
"Other gaming mascots better watch out, because the release of The Power of Illusion will mean Mickey's third major game appearance for the year 2012 -- other two being Kingdom Hearts 3D and Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Serving as a handheld spiritual successor to Castle of Illusion and what appears to be a close relative to DuckTales, The Power of Illusion promises to be a strong experience all on its own without relying heavily on Disney Epic Mickey's anticipated sequel to give it momentum." -- Wiiloveit.com
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Not every video game hero has a career like Mario and Sonic's. Of course, not every game deserves a sequel. Some were never meant to produce a series, while others bombed at retail, the respective publishers cutting their losses and moving on to something presumably more lucrative.
As a result, many of these characters fade into obscurity, killing the opportunity to see them again.
With the Nintendo 3DS coming out soon Paranerds.com wanted to show that the Nintendo DS offers something else for everyone.

They told you what games to play for the Nintendo Wii that was third party, and now they are telling you to try these hidden gems for the Nintendo DS.

Nice article! The DS is chock full of awesome game. I think it's scientifically impossible to play all of the good ones in a lifetime.
