|All 6 BIT.TRIP games in your hands. If you haven't heard of this series yet, do yourself a favor and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_Trip check them out.] While this version is ideal if you plan to be BIT.TRIP-ing on the go, the "COMPLETE" variant on the Wii, with its beau-coups of extra content, is preferable if you aren't leaving your house any time soon. This is still interesting though, due to the remixed controls for the 3DS' features and functions. Unfortunately, there are a few issues here and there, that can detract from maximum enjoyment (such as occasional slowdown), making "COMPLETE" preferable in the long run. Still, not a bad deal.

It's also $15 on the eShop!

|Arguably the sleeper hit of the 3DS launch. It's similar to X-COM (Julian Gollop worked on both of these) but with modern war and other neat gameplay elements. Closer to Fire Emblem than anything else. The average playtime is about 40 hours, and that's only with the main story. There's also a heapin' helpin' of extra missions to play as well.

|Spiritual successor to the NanoStray series and Iridion II. A shmup in which you take control of a nanobot to cleanse cells and stop a deadly virus to save humanity! It has a variety of stages ranging from rail shooting ala Starfox to piloting on the surface of cells to clear out enemies. The 3D effect is very nice when you see a wall of bullets fly at you from various bosses. A sequel/expanded version may be coming to the eShop soon, so purchase with caution.

|2D Platformer

|More of the same old 2D platforming, sure. But the levels are pretty solid and the Coin Rush mode is surprisingly addictive, especially if you're one of those "high score" types. Get it if you see it on sale.

|A bit hard to fully recommend what with Revel-lait-ons also being available and all. But: If you liked Mercenaries in RE4 or RE5 or wanted to play them (but are unable to), you'll likely dig this. If you don't like the idea of those game modes being used as a standalone game, you prolly wont like it either. A hard sell at full price, but for 20 bucks or less, it's not bad.

|A remix port of the original. Demons, angels, and renegade humans set out to take over Tokyo and summon the tower of Babel. Are you bad enough dude to kick their asses and take back your turf? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2yuQ6hDngY Full voice acting], more skills, more demons to recruit, slightly smoother graphics, a Compendium to register and resummon demons for cash, and an extra 8th day scenario for four key characters, along with a few new game+ bonuses. Probably not worth it if you beat the hell out of the original, but not bad if you never played it before and possibly are a Megaten fan. Out in Euroland soon, thanks to based Ghostlight.

|One of the classic Cute 'Em Up pioneers. Similar to Xevious except cuter, faster, and with more weapons and options. Like Xevious 3D, you can control your rate of fire per button. If you don't know, there's loads of enemies onscreen often, and your bell system gives you a power-up relating to how many times you fire a bell to change its color. As such, having the options for different fire rates is welcome. Great for shmup beginners, though a bit hard for gaming beginners. The popout effect is subtle, but just enough to keep on for a while at a time (it can strain the eyes with all the shit flying around sometimes).

|Tabletop RPG

|Decent and definitely different, an RPG from the Vagrant Story/Final Fantasy Tactics guy that's more in the vein of dice rolling table top than the usual JRPG. Six hours, plus a decently designed New Game+, a great soundtrack, and a $8 price.

|An RPG made by those Pokemon XD people. Capture men wearing leotards in your environment's wi-fi connections. Take them into dungeons and battle Dragon Quest style. Silly, fun, and surprisingly engaging for a $10 RPG. Will keep you busy long enough to give you your money's worth.
