ThruSpace review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of ThruSpace, a downloadable WiiWare game from Nintendo for the Nintendo Wii. ThruSpace offers a new twist on a classic game, looking at an old idea from a new perspective. ThruSpace is a puzzle game with a simple objective: fit the block through the hole. You’re in control of this shape called a Keydron, much like a three dimensional Tetris block. And like Tetris, it moves forward automatically. The problem is there are walls in the way, so you have to rotate the Keydron to fit through the hole. You have a limited amount of time to make it through all the walls, and the faster you finish, the higher your score. This means you often speed up your block to max out your score, but of course, moving faster means it’s tougher to make it through the openings. This video review features video gameplay footage of ThruSpace for the Nintendo Wii and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s Derek.

Yoshi Review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow video game review of Yoshi, a egg-building puzzle game developed by Game Freak (in their pre-Pokemon days) and published in 1992 by Nintendo for the NES and Game Boy. Even an unremarkable puzzle game can feel a little bit special when it sounds like Pokemon… especially when “Pokemon” wouldn’t exist as a thing for several years after this game saw release. Otherwise, it’s a puzzle game that’s more about luck than skill… and that doesn’t really make for a good puzzle game, now does it? I didn’t think so. This CGRundertow video game review features video gameplay footage of Yoshi for the NES and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s TJ.

Bowling Wizards review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of Bowling Wizards from NextWave Multimedia for the iPad. Bowling Wizards is a free game available in the App Store…or at least, the first six levels of the first world are free. An evil wizard is capturing living bowling pins and casting a spell on them. The idea is that if you knock the pins down, you relieve them of the dark lord’s grasp. Of course, the problem is they’re not exactly in easily accessible areas. You have to use magic balls that can go in all sorts of directions to reach them. So thank heavens for the magic balls…of magic. Nonetheless, the game is a lot of fun. You have an array of balls, each with different abilities. And you have to place your balls on the level in such a way that you can start a chain reaction and successfully knock over the pins. This video review features video gameplay footage of Bowling Wizards for the iPad and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s Derek.
