"There are boss battles that are truly creative, causing you to have to think and strategize rather than just barrel in knocking everything around. This game reminded me a bit of Braid in the way that it was surprisingly engrossing and completely entertaining. There are few complaints off the top of my head, other than that the difficulty levels toward the end will surprise people. For a portable game it is important to be able to pick up and play whenever you have the time, and this one gets too challenging. Still, considering how often we complain that DS games are too easy, this is a problem worth having! Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is one of the best games for the Nintendo DS so far in 2009, not just because the blend of the genres but also due to its mass appeal. I can see experienced gamers having a good time with it, especially in the later levels when it gets much more intense, and casual gamers will find something both challenging and intuitive. It really is worth the buy and comes highly recommended. Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is out now for the Nintendo DS."
"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.

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.
