PixlBit

Now that all of the reviews have been posted, you, the reader can choose this year's winner.

Well, PixlBit's first Sh*tty Game Review Fest is officially in the books and from it, we've received four outstanding reviews. Julian Titus told us about ancient aliens, or was it something about Rome? Who can remember, but what we know for sure is that it didn't involve Matt R's travels through Wii shovelware via a Dodge Ram. And while a Dodge Ram is pretty manly, I'm not sure it grows the beard quite like playing dress-up with Chris and his Disney Princesses.

Happily, its recently released brethren, Jewel Master: Cradle of Athena follows in its predecessors footsteps, although the difficulty has certainly been toned down.

As far as I can perceive, the game's purpose is really Coral Reef awareness, but the methods Bermuda Triangle uses for actual gameplay are convoluted, underselling the game's main theme and making for what could be considered a hypocritical piece of "green" propaganda.

A game that feels like busy work.

When looking at Storm City Entertainment's recent catalog of DS titles, it’s apparent that they are primarily puzzle titles. Foto Frenzy is their latest entry into this genre and similar to their previous efforts such as Hands On! Tangrams and Jewel Master Egypt, Foto Frenzy is based on a somewhat traditional puzzle. Unfortunately, Foto Frenzy isn't a very good game, nor is it very fun.
