    is a fun toy. Relaxing, refreshing by its original level design and addictive thanks to the excellent use of the controller it offers more than the honey sweet packaging would suggest. Too bad that we get a bit disappointed with the technical specs, but on the other hand this game isn't meant for those looking for more than a couple of hours of balancing the ball. Read more

    After playing Kororinpa, I don’t think I can go back to Super Monkey Ball. Kororinpa isn’t nearly as frustrating as the monkeys but still provides that same level of challenge and sense of accomplishment. The crazy level designs and many possibilities for off-the-wall shortcuts make this a good choice for people who like tilt-the-world puzzles. Kororinpa doesn’t feel complete, though. There are so few levels and so few options in this package, it’s hard to... Read more

    It’s quiet inside the room. Or at least, you think it is. There’s an upbeat tune coming out of the screen in front of you, and your breath is coming out in soft sighs. You’ve blocked the noise out, though; you’re too distracted to notice your surroundings. Your hand is trembling as you rotate it ever so slightly, turning the object with your fingers with the delicacy of a brain surgeon. Failure is not an option here; one slight miscalculated movement could spell... Read more

    Marbles, marbles everywhere...and all you can hope to do is tilt them to your advantage. It's Kororinpa Marble Mania for the Wii, and X-Play has the review. Read more

    Kororinpa Marble Mania takes the Super Monkey Ball mechanic and makes a much better game out of it. Like Super Monkey Ball you hold the Wii remote flat and control the tilt of the game world by tilting the remote in all directions. By doing this you hope to guide your marble to different colored gems that open up the exit for that world. It is a pretty simple concept and executed very well here. The control is pretty good, though it would be nice to have an option for... Read more
