- Angle works well
New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis

- It’s a fun blast from the past
- Daemon gave it a 7
- People who like retro stuff should check it out
- $10 – a little too much
Mighty Flip Champs
- DSiWare game
- It’s a cool puzzle game
- Top screen – main character traverse puzzle

Reader questions
- Cave Story should be coming out next month or May

I definitely have to pick up Tiger Woods. Looks like I’m going to be spending alot of money on games this year!
By yeahyeah on Mar 10, 2009
i bought tiger wood 07 and i had a blast with it and haven’t picked up any recent copies b/c there just wasn’t any major improvements, but this one has changed that!
By Rhytenow on Mar 10, 2009
09 was actually alot better than 07 but 10 will definitely be the one to get.

Good 2 see EA put a lot of effort in the new TW game,well we now know that RE is another chronicles, and I liked the look of eXcite bots.

I’m stoked about the new RE. Excitebots looks good too. Wonder what some reader gripes are about it.
