Geoff Keighley: "Sure, you've seen a 3D movie in a theater with glasses, but have you ever experienced glasses-free 3D? It may not sound plausible, but this month Nintendo will launch the 3DS, a handheld gaming device that features a 3.5 inch glasses-free 3D screen. That's right: you just look at the device and your eyes automatically process the 3D. The effect, known as lenticular technology, is similar to how 3D movie posters work in theaters. A special lens on the screen constantly sends different images to your left and right eyes. You will undoubtedly see glasses-free 3D cell phones and other devices on the market later this year, but for now, Nintendo has the first-mover advantage with this $250 device.
But here's the big question: is the 3DS a gimmick or the next great handheld?"
NE: "Kirby's been on more than a handful of adventures, and we've gathered a list of 10 of the best Kirby games here."
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
