Pros: I downloaded the game for my rooted Nook Color after playing exactly 2 levels on my brother's iPhone. I must say playing it on my psuedo-tablet is much better than playing on a phone. The game is wonderfully colorful and ridiculously addictive. The point of the game is to launch your birds from a slingshot to break down walls in order to kill the creatures that have stolen the eggs. Who needs a deep story when the game plays so well? There are different types of birds that each have unique abilities. The level strategy should be formulated based on the types of birds available to you and the complexity of your accomplishment. As you complete the levels, you acquire different birds and the game gets harder.

It's simple in theory, but the game gets pretty difficult after a while. It's never so difficult that you feel you can't finish a level, which is what spurs you on to try it again and again. It's all part of the magic.

Cons: I have a lot of weird complaints. I guess it's the engineer in me. The structures hardly collapse the way I expect them to which is oddly annoying to me. This bothers me when I expect a targeted blow to achieve something and it doesn't work out that way. I think it's a physics thing that they're not very accurate on and it bothers me. The inability to switch the order of your birds before loading them in the slingshot is somewhat annoying. I love the music but it's repetitive.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Pros: War of the Magi! This game is one of the finest RPG games I've ever played. The amount of characters is staggering and they are all unique. The story of the game is simply incredible and moving in every way. Watching the way your party members grow and mature throughout the game and as you begin to explore the world is simply amazing. Renaming your characters is part of the magic because it allows you to insert your favorite people and make the game truly feel like yours. Watching each character grow and change and even the characters you don't control (who can forget Kefka?!) drives this beautiful and amazing game forward. There's drama, humor, friendship, and amazing moments abound.
Battling with enemies is great fun though it is still turn-based. The active meter is similar to the others allowing the game to be played quicker. The game also features powerful extra moves that can be delivered when their health gets low allowing for more strategy involved in battling. Each character has their own unique abilities that can help you in particular battles or any other time. The abilities and magic powers of each character could fluctuate depending on how you equipped them which enabled you to completely customize your entire experience. The game truly succeeds on every level and is one of the main RPG games that anyone who is a fan of the genre should play.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Pros: Earth Defense Force is first and foremost an action shooter game. The speed is intense and the action continuous and unrelenting. You're in charge of a fighter plane and two additional satellites that surround you but basically just add to your firepower. The arcade style of the game and constant flow of enemies will keep you on your toes and require your reflexes to be top notch to complete. The graphics are excellent and it shows in the detail in the enemy ships and the way your laser fire changes to reflect the increased power of your weapon. Power ups are picked up to increase the power of your shot, the radius of the blast, and the speed at which you can fire. The game is easiest when you have the best weapon but it is easy to lose if you're not paying attention as there are always swarms of enemies. You fly your ship pretty much moving left to right and blasting away at hordes of aliens. You can play with all sorts of different weapon types and orientations for the additional ships which increase the replayability if you want to go through it again. The game is REALLY difficult though (I still haven't beat it) so prepare to get it handed to you several times before you get too far.

Cons: The game is a little too short for my liking. The final boss is ridiculously hard which may be a game developer's way of making a game longer when it really isn't. The enemies are a bit repetitive after a bit and the game can be a little cheap in destroying your shields.

Cons: Why does it always seem that there are some bosses who have the uber cheap one-hit-kill move even when you're at max level?

Pros: Chrono Trigger is probably the definitive RPG experience. It was long, had an excellent story, great customization for each character, tons of items, lots of secrets to uncover, alternate endings depending on how you played through the game, time travel changing things in the future, combination magic attacks, and the list could go on and on. The game had humor, drama, romance, and an epic music score. The party members are memorable and none of them felt like they were just along for the ride, which happens sometimes in games with large casts of party members. The battles are turn-based, per se, but really you can attack as long as your meter fills up. This allows for faster paced battles that work without interrupting the flow of the game or making you ponder too long about the appropriate moves, magic, or combination attacks to use. There are no random battles and you level up consistently without being forced to hunker down and level grind. The ability to restart the game at maximum levels earned from the last playthrough allows you to earn all manner of different endings including the ability to beat the game at the start of the game. Simply one of the best RPG experiences you can ever play, and you will play it over and over.

Cons: Why does it always seem that there are some bosses who have the uber cheap one-hit-kill move even when you're at max level?

Pros: NBA Jam '93 was one of the original games I've owned for the SNES. Naturally, I was excited when they announced that they were remaking the series updated for the Wii. The game is surprisingly true to the original concept, which features 2 on 2 basketball and plenty of super charged "power jams" that the series is known for. The amazing announcer adds to the game and it only gets better when you're playing with 3 other friends. Like the original games, it features a huge unlockable cast of special characters such as President Obama. Very cool. It is definitely a cry of nostalgia mixed with the awesomeness of a well-thought out re-imagining for the newer generation. The arcade style of play is very different from those looking for realistic sports simulation games, but that was always part of the NBA Jam charm.

Cons: The Wii version isn't online capable...not cool.
