With or without the unnecessary toys, Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a commendable space adventure. Even with the repetitive grind and randomly scattershot space combat, this is a great-looking, gratifying game of strategic action and environmental exploration. Switch owners are undoubtedly the winners, but there’s something here to enjoy on any platform.
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.
I’ll admit that I’m more a fan of the arcade-style racing games than those that put heavier focus on realism, so I’m much more looking forward to Firebrand Games’ next racing project: Trackmania DS. But GRID is still an impressive effort that has a lot going for it, and it’s a slight improvement over last year’s already impressive Race Driver: Create and Race experience. GRID is best played on the console, but the DS game offers up its own unique take on the core racing design, enough that it’s definitely worth a look.
Comparing LEGO Indiana Jones to LEGO Star Wars is unavoidable, but it’s also not a bad thing considering just how good last year’s LEGO Star Wars turned out on the Nintendo DS. I’m afraid that if the LEGO franchise continues in this direction the novelty will end up wearing thin (I’m looking at you, Batman), but for now it still feels somewhat fresh. And even though the game shares many of the same elements as last year’s LEGO-ified Star Wars game there’s plenty new to experience.
