Reviews[]

This month, five Wii games and twelve DS games (counting Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as two separate games) were reviewed. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions were by far the highest rated games oh the month, both receiving 9.5's from Phil Theobald in a shared review.

The next highest rated game was WarioWare D.I.Y. at 8.5. On the same page of the review, the writers that had created and presented their own microgames for the feature article earlier in the issue rated their games. The ratings were completely arbitrary and basically done out of humor; for example, "Power Surge" was rated as "5 Exhausted Editors", "Revenge" was rated as "1 Blasted Bro", "Cool Albert" was rated as "1 Suave Villain" and "Funky Boxing" was rated as "2 Black Eyes".

Please use the symbols next to each heading to sort the games by "title", "score", "console", "reviewer" and "ESRB rating".
