    The Addiction you can not put down.

     Okay you can put it down after becoming frustrated getting game over. Alright you are gonna sit here,think this puzzle out and get a perfect score. Here we go,

    440048 Okay just take out the zeros. Now the 8, theres 10 in this row. Which side...... LEFT RIGHT!!!!! I AM GONNA PICK...... LEFT... MISS!!!! :'[

    Picross 3-D is an addicting puzzle game in which you destroy number blocks to reveal the object. If the row has a zero, you destroy that whole row. If it were to have a one, then somewhere in that line of X amount of blocks, is one that must stay. The game teaches you with it`s vast tutorial level on how to figure this out. 
    Ex. The line has four blocks but has the number three pasted on each block. This means out of those four there are three that have to remain. Picross does a good job at showing you the little tricks or short cuts you can take to help solve which needs to go. It becomes common knowledge of which two are definitely going to stay. As you progress new numbers functions are added to the mix,such as a two with a circle around it. This means there is two squares in the row but they can not be touching.

    The game has a lot of puzzle to play with the inclusion of free downloadable ones from Nintendo and Contests that are held each month. Each contest has a theme where users are able to submit their user created puzzles. After they are judged, the winners puzzles become downloadable.

    This game would have got a little higher review but the Nintendo Theme is missing.Mario's Picross was the first title in the series which had Mario. In Japan Super Mario Picross was released with a few Nintendo characters like Mario,Wario and Luigi. They should have named it Mario's 3-D Picross if they wanted it to sell more.I would of liked to see cameos here and there like Tetris Ds. Picross 3-d is a must have title for the casual player and those that love using brain power. It would be nice to see a new Picross game come out with more features,music and avatar. Seeing the duck every puzzle on the top screen can become rather annoying as well as the recycled songs over and over.

      Picross 3D? YES! 0

      I've always loved puzzles.  Way back, in the beginning of time, I had to enjoy puzzles from these things called books and magazines.  It was a difficult time to be a puzzle fan.  No stylus (we had to use our fingers with a pencil...archaic!), no colorful graphics (just black...and...white, oh the joy!), and no cool sound effects (just the occasional "Dammit!" for having to erase the same space for the umpteenth time and leaving a hole where there was once paper.  No, the puzzle fans of old didn'...

      Chip off the old block ... 0

      This has been out in Europe for a while now and it's stayed firmly put in my DS since then. It is one of those classic games where you pick up for a quick puzzle or two and fall under it's spell again. Suddenly it is 2AM and you still want to finish a new section.   It does takes a while to get your head around the concept and navigate around the blocks. If you are used to the 2D versions, the third dimension is a lot trickier. Although it is the same basic mechanic (delete the zeroes, leave the...
