And, lastly, the eight-dollar asking price is a great improvement from the full retail amount you'd pay to pick up Nitro in physical form. Recycling content from cartridges to turn into DSiWare downloads may not be the most admirable approach to filling out the selection in the DSi Shop, but it's hard to argue with that strategy when you're gaming on a budget.

Brotherhood is a great game, but it’s hard to wholeheartedly recommend. This is really a title designed for fans of Assassin’s Creed II, as it’s a continuation of that story, but the reality is that people who finished that game want something new – or that at least represents a clear step forward. Brotherhood doesn’t deliver that. The game doesn’t advance the wider narrative very far, the new mechanics don’t really add a great deal and the mission designs rarely explore new gameplay possibilities. That said, Brotherhood really looks the part, with a step up in the graphics department – particularly on PS3, and a massive and varied city to explore. It also introduces an innovative multiplayer suite, for which the team(s) should be applauded. At the end of the day, it depends what you’re looking for. If you’re new to Assassin’s Creed, this is a solid entry, but picking up the threads of the convoluted story may be a challenge. If you’re an experienced assassin, on the other hand, expect to tread pretty similar ground to the last title.

Art Academy puts me in a weird position. As an artist, I think it's a neat toy that has some good lessons for novice painters and drawers to improve and develop their basic skills. But I also feel hesitation at the bad habits it seems forced to encourage due to the limitations of the DS hardware (and also, not one mention of composition anywhere?), and the lack of any export-to-SD card feature is a strange omission. Would-be artists can check it out for a decent introduction to drawing and painting, but those truly interested in building a solid art foundation will need to seek a more robust course load elsewhere.

Besides the few mini-games that are broken, Crafting Mama works fine; it's just not that fun. And while its target audience might really enjoy it, I can't understand why anyone would want to make a paper airplane in a game rather than just making one in real life.

Gods vs. Humans makes you feel like a schmuck, not a diety, since the incredibly efficient humans can undo all your hard work easily. Plus, with only four different areas and a few unique God powers, almost every level feels and looks the same to play, which gets tiresome very quickly. Simply put, Gods vs. Humans isn’t fun and isn’t worth 1200 Wii points.

GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo DS is a better multiplayer game than it is a single-player experience. But ultimately it’s not a good replacement for the Wii game, nor can it stand up to the classic Nintendo 64 original. It's definitely the weakest entry in N-Space's DS first-person shooters -- Call of Duty: Black Ops, released in the same window, looks to be the better FPS option.

Flip's Twisted World is a constant frustration. Its core concept is sound, its main character is well-designed, and its story setup works well -- but the poorly programmed, poorly thought-out execution of its ideas in the game itself just leaves you disappointed. You'll want to like this game. You'll try to like it. But, in the end, you just won't.

I love these classic claymation movies, so it’s really sad to see such a blatent cash-in on the Rudolph name. Do yourself a favor and purchase something else for the family to enjoy over the holidays, because these reindeer games are a disaster.

That's irritating, and makes me want to just go back to normal Bejeweled or one of its better imitators, like Puzzle Quest.

In the end, Blood Drive is just some generic cars running over some ho-hum zombies. The controls could be tighter and no one seems to be playing online, but the game succeeds at giving you a license to run over the undead. It just isn't that exciting.

HAWX 2 is one of the few games that actually feels like less than the sum of its parts. As a mostly on-rails arcade shooter, it functions, more or less, though there are much better games on Wii that do similar things. But from the awful presentation to the poorly implemented secondary modes (and I didn't even mention the cutscenes that are static images drawn in what looks like Photoshop in about 5 minutes), HAWX 2 for Wii has a solid target-lock on the bargain bin.
