On top of the PSP version, Griptonite also made a DS game to tie in to this movie, and they took it in a quite different direction. I like it!

Working my way down the versions, let’s compare the dual-screen tie-in game for the third X-Men film.

This sequel to “Retro Game Challenge” is more of the same, a broader pastiche of the 80s and early 90s of home gaming.

What a fun concept, a little grab bag of NES games that never existed!

Because I’m nothing if not thorough, I also played the DS version. Let’s see if it was able to dampen my enthusiasm for Rapunzel’s story.

With the recent broadcast of The Clone Wars season 7, I thought it was a good time to catch up on the last piece of expanded media I hadn’t gotten to.

Yay! Mermaids! But can a game intended for preschoolers entertain me, a grown adult, a task for which it was never intended??

This game was across many platforms, but WayForward handled the DS version with their usual aplomb. But for the sake of arbitrary comic book rivalry, how does it stack up against their Batman game?

Back on the WayForward train, with a pair of games based on the 2008 Batman cartoon of the same name.

The dolphin journeys continue! Looking past the propping up of Seaworld’s oppression, this is a decent aquatic adventure that I had a good time with.

While looking for more games like Excite Truck, I gave Trackmania a try. I prefer my racing games somewhat detached from reality, and TM’s approach was enjoyable, for a time.

SBK: Snowboard Kids appears to be one of those reboots that forces an edgier tone, but it’s actually decent and retains a sense of fun.

Might as well round out the trilogy! With a new developer and Cynder having proper deuteragonist status, could it be that the third game is the best one? Maybe! Kinda!

I must confess that when seeing that the second instalment of the Spyro reboot trilogy on DS had 3D graphics, I hoped that it might be closer to the original games. I should have known better.

After playing Shadow Legacy, it seemed natural to try out Amaze’s take on the Spyro reboot. In development terms it’s a direct follow-up, but skews many things differently and like the whole Legend of Spyro continuity in general, it ends up being unsatisfying.
