90%
August/Shooter
Nintendo/Retro Studios
Brett Elston (GamesRadar): “This is the final Prime game, however, and it's easily the best, with a formula that's been tweaked and pruned to its most perfect point. Now please do something new before we all get tired of it.”

August/Other (Minigame)

Jeff Gerstmann (GameSpot): “It's practically guaranteed that if you enjoy video games, you'll find at least one thing to like in this collection, though there's also a very good chance that you'll really enjoy all of it.”
 


43. Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day
DS Exclusive
1.1M

October/Other
Nintendo/Namco Bandai
Emily Balistrieri (GamePro): “…what's done in Flash Focus to warrant having a whole game dedicated to training your eyes? Not too much, apparently.”

1.2M
61%
March/License
Ubisoft/Ubisoft Montreal
Tom Orry (Pro-G): “Judged alongside great action platformers like Prince of Persia, TMNT comes up short, but as a game made strictly for kids, it's not a bad effort.”

1.2M
79%
July/Sports
Nintendo/Next Level Games
Richard Melville (Eurogamer): “Yes, it might feature the usual selection of Mario heroes and villains, but there's more to Mario Strikers than waving the remote for five minutes and then passing it to someone much younger than you, along with a jammy dodger and a glass of milk.”
