One day Alice was looking for Rabi and finally found him right before he jumped into a small hole in a tree. Without thinking twice, Alice jumped in after him. This is where their magical adventure begins. Alice and Rabi encounter intriguing animals and creatures that may lead them to the exit, or stop them from escaping. Together they will explore and discover things unlike anything they've ever seen before. They must work as a team to find the key and escape each area of the mighty labyrinth.

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: Play Standard mahjong without all the bells and whistles. You can choose from more than 300 layouts or try different variations of the game. In "Countdown," you only have 20 minutes to clear the tiles. With "Remember," you can train your memory as every tile is only briefly visible. Don't dally in "Shuffle" mode - the board will rebuild itself if you don't make a match in time. In "Match" you simply need to search for particular tiles. The tile images are strikingly sharp, making them easy to recognize. Choose your favorite tile design, plus enjoy the great soundtrack and high-quality animation that create an authentic gaming experience. Challenge yourself with a range of difficult layouts. If you are stuck, hints will help you out.

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

Each puzzle in Liight is a unique combination of colored lights and targets arranged on a special board. If you completely cover a target with light of the matching color, the target will glow and play music. A puzzle is solved when all of the targets are glowing and playing music together. Every puzzle makes a different song each time you play. Nonstop mode in Liight is a fast-paced arcade puzzle game that uses the same basic concepts you learn in Solve mode in a constant struggle for a high score. Liight also has a Create mode to make your own puzzles any way you want, and a Share mode to send them to your Wii™ friends using the WiiConnect24™ service.

Liight so soon? Anyone going to download and give impressions?

I'm not completely sold on Plants vs. Zombies from what I've played of it, but it was fun, and my girlfriend loved it so... might have to pick it up. When I get a 3DS, because I have no DSi. I guess I could get the cartridge version on DS but that's $20 right?

I got it on the app store on my gf's phone for 3 bucks and I think that's a good price for it. The retail DS game has extra exclusive modes, but I don't know about this DSiWare release. This is the type of game you want to have on the hard drive, I think.

@Zero

Yeah, it's more expensive and (supposedly) less featured than the DSi version, which is baffling.

@anon_mastermind

800 Nintendo Points is just $8, though, right? That makes it only a dollar more than the same game on PC, IIRC. Not that steep. Especially when you consider the retail release is $20, as is the price for the 360 version.

I wonder if it's the full game, or if some content had to be removed for the DSiWare version?

@Simbabbad

How do I need to fix that? Just add in some teaser?

I've always been curious about Bonsai Barber, but I still have other games to get first.
