Review: Pushmo

Pushmo, the downloadable puzzle title for the Nintendo 3DS, is a clever game that should appeal to most players looking for a little brain exercise.

Like any good puzzle game, Pushmo is challenging enough to allow players feel smart without being hard enough to make them feel dumb. For the most part, at least. I have to admit that I got stuck in a few parts, but for most of the early puzzles can be solved in a minute or less and the game does a good job of teaching the core mechanics before real difficulty starts to set in.

Nintendo's Wii Play Motion is a compilation of a dozen mini games designed for the Wii's upgraded Wii Remote plus controller and letting players use their "Mii" avatars. Let's face it: If you've liked the Mii games and have been pondering a Wiimote upgrade, this bundle sells itself.

That's the good news. The better news is that quite a few of those Mii games are pretty fun, especially if you can get the family together.



Thanks to a collaboration between Namco Bandai, Microsoft Australia, and Australian digital studio, Soap Creative, the "World's Biggest PAC-MAN" is here. It was created to help promote future PAC-MAN properties and from the stats, there's a lot of love out there. Over 274 million dots have been eaten so far in this online game (as of this writing).

Players can also create their own maps that get added to a growing collection of thousands. You'll see love messages, giant PAC-MAN shaped fields of dots, a cat shaped maze, and giant faces all linked together to provide an ever growing playground of close calls and endless eating. It could be Billy Mitchell's worst nightmare - or greatest dream.

It's also free to play. All you need is a computer, a browser, and a lot of time to help wear down your arrow keys. Or a good sense of humor with a dash of devious cunning when you unleash your creativity - as long as you can keep it clean.
