A bit more bang for your buck would have been great, but retro gaming still doesn't get much better than this.

With HeartGold and SoulSlver the Pokémon series has reached a point where it can't get any better. It's like a level 100 Pikachu; it's as good as it can possibly be.

The combat system is almost flawless. Bar the odd insane difficulty spike, even the dreaded grind is pleasurable. It attains that holy grail of game design: easy to learn, but hard to master.

There's nothing ground breaking about Alice's adventure in Wonderland on the DS, but it's hard not to be taken in by the charming game world and cast of likeable characters.

While it might not be for newcomers, Ace Attorney Investigations will leave fans of the series squealing with delight. Roll on Ace Attorney 5.

Spirit Tracks is a superb, albeit familiar, diversion.
