Nintendo has rolled out a new entry in the picross line up.
This version is (can you guess???) 3D. The 3D aspect you would think would make the puzzles harder. But in fact the 3D only makes the puzzle harder by a slim margin. Turning the puzzle makes more clues visible . The control tend to leave something to be desired. When you go to turn the puzzle if your not careful you mess up the puzzle. Not a big deal to most but being a video game dork like me I want each little puzzle with all 4 little stars. (Yes I am a sad little man, Well a sad BIG man). But when it all comes down to brass tacs the down side is not really that bad compared to the up side. This game is very simple to get the hang of and quite addictive in the long run. As an added bonus Picross 3D has additional puzzles to download every so often. This is one of those games that you play and forget that it is actually good for your brain. Like brain age and Sudoku the puzzle make you use parts of your brain that you might not normally use. But who really cares about that CRAP? Video games are supposed to be fun and I think that Picross 3D fills that bill to a big old T. On a scale of 1 - 10 Picross 3D gets a 8. I would like to give it a 9 BUT the controls tend to piss me off. From time to time.
