Posted on August 14th, 2015 by
Nintendo has been teaching art, painting, and drawing techniques with their Art Academy games for nearly five years now! But they’ve all been regulated to just their hand-held touch screen systems like the DS and 3DS. There’s even one that teaches you how to draw Pokemon! But now you can enjoy learning art from the comfort of your own home with Art Academy: Home Studio, a downloadable title for Wii U.
Divide by Sheep (iOS, PC)
Posted on August 12th, 2015 by
Get ready for a really woolly math game! In Divide by Sheep, you must help flocks of sheep hop across islands and make it to a life raft. But you must have the correct number of sheep on the raft to earn a star (up to three stars in a level). But watch out because there are obstacles every step of the way that can dwindle your number of sheep, like smaller islands, hungry wolves, and even lasers that can cut your flock in half…literally! Divide by Sheep is a downloadable title for iOS devices and Steam (reviewed on iPad here).

In this retro-styled 2-D platformer, downloadable on Wii U, you start out at the end of the game, defeating the last boss in his castle. Then you must escape from his crumbling fortress, racing against lava in vertically scrolling levels and crumbling rocks in horizontal ones. But you have one handy trick up your sleeve. You can teleport short distances in a puff of smoke, like a thief or a ninja!

My good friend Robbie Allen reviewed this game on Steam called Toren. It’s about a girl who must venture through a tower, and may be based on a Brazilian legend. The game really captivated my friend, so be sure to read his review!
Formula Cartoon All-Stars (iPad)

Race as and against your favorite Cartoon Network characters in this top-down viewed kart game, downloadable on iOS and Android devices (reviewed on iPad here). Actually they look more like four-wheelers than karts, but whatever. You’ll play as characters from Cartoon Network’s large history of characters and shows, like Clarence, Steven Universe, Johnny Bravo, PowerPuff Girls, Flapjack, Adventure Time, Gumball, Regular Show, Uncle Grandpa, Ben 10, Dexter’s Laboratory, and even some I don’t recognize! I’m a little disappointed that Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and Samurai Jack weren’t represented, but that’s still a lot of characters!
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight (3DS)
Posted on July 30th, 2015 by
I’m a fan of old school, open ended RPGs from the 80s and early 90s, while others prefer the Japanese-style RPGs rich in story but with few choices to character development. The newest entry of Etrian Odyssey attempts to cater to both types of fans, and does a pretty good job.

Way off in a distant part of the galaxy, two alien spacemen are on an intergalactic reality TV show where they must work together to solve puzzles while being berated by an annoying announcer. But in the Black Hola Cola factory, one of the aliens accidentally drinks a bottle of the fizziest cola in the universe, and gets a little gassy. The air fills up his spacesuit like a big ball. Luckily the two aliens are connected by a tube on their spacesuits, so they can trade off being filled with gas. Help them solve puzzles and overcome obstacles in this 2-D platform jumping puzzler downloadable on Wii U.
