Game Review: Back to the Future: The Game, Episode 3: Citizen Brown (PC)
Last time we left Marty and Doc in the Back to the Future point and click adventure from TellTale, they had just defeated the gangster “Kid” Tannen back in 1931. But when they go back to their 1986 present, Doc disappears right in the passenger seat of the DeLorean. Surprised by the event, Marty crashes the time machine into a billboard. But it’s not the same present that he knows. Hill Valley has been transformed into a gated conformist community where everyone is deathly afraid to break any law. Now Marty must break a bunch of crazy city rules so he can gain audience with the leader of Hill Valley: Citizen Brown, so he can repair the time machine and fix this mess. But it won’t be easy!
Game Review: Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy (PSP)
OK, first and foremost, that title is way too long. I could barely even spell it, much less say it. Why couldn’t Square-Enix just call it Dissidia: Final Fantasy 2? Or Plus? Or Deluxe? Oh well. For the rest of this review, I’m just going to refer to it as Dissidia 012, otherwise my poor typing fingers are going to fall off! Anyway, the first Dissidia game was a very creative and engrossing 3-D fighter starring characters from the popular Final Fantasy series of RPGs. This newest update adds extra features and tweaks, as well as several brand new characters! One of the best PSP games ever made just got even better!
Game Review: Bust-A-Move Universe (3DS)
The super-popular, long-running bubble bursting puzzle game is now popping on your 3DS. Choose from two games modes: Puzzle and Challenge, as you try to shoot and ricochet bubbles creeping down from the top of the screen. Match three of the same color bubble and they’ll pop. Any bubbles hanging underneath will go away, too, and this is how you set up chain reactions and high scores. If the bubbles reach the bottom, it’s Game Over.

Cary’s Best of DS, Final Part: Weird, Wacky, and My All Time Favorite DS Series Of All!
With the upcoming launch of the 3DS in the US, I wanted to take a look back at my favorite games on the DS now that the handheld is in its twilight years. Each of my blogs in this series has covered one or two game genres, (go back and read them if you missed any). But there are some games on the DS that just don’t fit any group, so we’ll go over my favorites in that category in this final blog. And lastly, we’ll look at my favorite overall game series on the DS!
