SCORE: 73/100

I was all ready to declare Presidents Run the next big thing. It became a craze here at Family Friendly Gaming when we published that press release about it. But that craze fizzled out extremely fast. What was the cause of the fizzle? We will get there my friends, we will get there.

The WMG knows the editor in chief is drowning in apps. So this reviewer decided to do their small part by taking one on this month. PipeFiction looked to be a good little iPhone/iPod Touch title too. We lay down pipe to transport the water from point A to point B. We are helping out locals with this engineering activity. Some levels require we remove the obstacles. Things like blowing up rocks, and cutting down a forest.

Johnny is back in Johnny Impossible on the Nintendo 3DS. The Mr. Wang Gang plans to use a super laser to destroy Solid City. It is up to the super stealthy spy Johnny Impossible to save the day. Infiltrate the facility and stop the super laser from going off. Failure means the destruction of the city.

Review: "Goooooal America" - Nintendo DSi

Reviewed by Frank for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 84/100

At first glance Goooooal America looks like an overhead soccer game. The thing is the players in Goooooal America do not move around the field. Instead they are like planets with gravity. Players will pull back on one of the players and then fling the ball down the field. The ball can then orbit or have its trajectory altered by the gravity of players it passes.

SCORE: 90/100

Tetris is one of the oldest and most recognized video game franchises. Billions of people know what Tetris is. This game has been on more platforms than most gamers have ever played on. And yet this old dog can be taught a new trick. Tetris Axis is in total 3D. And without any glasses. You know Nintendo should pay me for using their selling point. Families can compete in the brand new marathon, or fever. Seven people can battle one another using one game cartridge.

Review: "Dawn of Heroes" - Nintendo DS

Reviewed by Paul for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 69/100

My personal favorite genre of video games are the turn based strategy ones. So I am always on the look out for one, especially if we missed it. We are human, and prone to error. So yes, we miss interesting games from time to time. It is something we continue to work on improving. Dawn of Heroes has an amazing name, and then it goes downhill. The player starts with two mercenaries who are stiffed by their employer. They find a magical belt that tells them they are the Chosen Ones. I think Dawn of Heroes tries to be funny and mock it, but it comes across as just odd.

Who out there does not like free stuff? Be honest now. If someone comes to you with something free, won’t you take it? I understand you might be skeptical. There are times and places I am skeptical. This is where I introduce NFL Pro 2012. This iPhone/iPod Touch app is completely free. It’s a NFL licensed football game. Not sure how this game snuck by EA and their exclusive license. Maybe this platform was not a part of their contract. Your team gets experience as plays are performed. That experience can be used (during a level up to improve the stats of players on your team. Expect these improvements to take a long time.

SCORE: 92/100

Sonic Generations may be the best home console Sonic video game of all time. It pays homage to the past, and it includes the present all at the same time. You have probably seen our extensive coverage of this game on the website. Well I was able to recently purchase and play this game on the Xbox 360. There are also PS3, and PC versions of Sonic Generations. A Nintendo 3DS version is still on our request listing. Kind of a shame the Wii got left out.

SCORE: 77/100

Family Friendly Gaming reviewed Ash II Shadows recently. This game was so interesting that this reviewer purchased the original Ash. The original is vastly different than the sequel. In many ways Ash is better than the sequel. It is more of a true old school role playing game. Ash requires the player to grind in certain parts. Players are also required to purchase better equipment to take out the monsters.

SCORE: 90/100

Yoshi’s Island Super Mario Advance 3 may be the most difficult Mario game I have ever played. Nintendo did not go easy on gamers with this title. Especially if you want to perfect every single level. Players are graded on three things - stars, coins, and flowers. There are so many in each level, and you have to collect them all. Hmmm where have we heard that before? Anyways the graphical style looks like something a child would draw. But Nintendo did some interesting things with this hand held title. First off there are quite a few angles.

Reviewed by Paul for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 92/100

There is a reason Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the highest scoring Sonic game thus far. What is my reason? It is the best of the bunch. Sega improved every single aspect of this Genesis (and later ported to the GBA) game. The storyline is deeper, and there are more characters involved. We run into Knuckles who steals the chaos emeralds and consistently gets in our way. At the end of every level we have to face a boss. There are only two levels per world, and the game let us save at the start of each new world. The continuity between levels is fantastic. Additional animations, and improvements to the graphics are also evident in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Wizard Defenders is an interesting two dollar downloadable game on the Nintendo DSi. Yes it will also work on the Nintendo 3DS, there is just not any 3D though. We turn the hand held device on its side, and play on the touch screen. The attacks our characters launch wind up on the other screen.

Maze Magic mixes two things to create an app that is memorable. There are mazes in this app, and magic. The developer named their game exactly what it is and what it does. Maze Magic is a free app with in-app purchases. I found Maze Magic can be extremely difficult if you do not purchase additional skills.

This is a physics puzzler where player launch their little green blob around obstacles to collect candy, and finally exit the level.
