This sequel to the original game, Spectrobes, is a great action/adventure game to play. The plot of the game is intriguing, the graphics were greatly improved, and the game-play is fun and entertaining. Unlike in the previous game made a year before where there is a top-down view of your character, in this game the camera angle is greatly improved as it is now slightly lower and you are able to adjust the camera position. This improved camera angle makes the game more aesthetically appealing. Following its preceding game's plot of the Krawl invading the Nanairo Galaxy; now they are invading again after many years of peace, but are much more powerful than before. This game has the same thrill of excavating minerals and fossils from the ground, and battling enemy Krawl in vortexes with your Spectrobes. It also introduces combat outside of vortexes with your character, Rallen, battling Krawl Dust. However, a minor problem with this game is that you can only save at your ship. This may become a problem if you forget to return to your ship and save before turning off your DS. Another minor problem is the beginning of the game tutorials. When you first start the game, the game-play is fairly slow until you complete the in-game tutorials.

Overall, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals is a great and fun game with only a few cons that I recommend to play.

Pokemon X is the first Pokemon main-series game to be released on the Nintendo 3DS. Not only did this add in the 3D view during Pokemon battles, it also opened up Pokemon to new aspects of the 3DS such as: new updates that can be downloaded from the Nintendo e-Shop, Streetpass communication, and more! Though there are not as many new Pokemon in Generation 6 as in other generations, you can encounter Pokemon from all 6 generations in the wild once you first begin the game. Also, the gyms have significantly improved in Pokemon X with added-in 3D effects. Each gym has its own different type of maze to reach the gym leader where you encounter gym trainers on the way.

Not only is the game play of Pokemon X magnificent, the plot is also intriguing. The villain organization of the Kalos region, Team Flare, who eliminates anyone who doesn't follow their standards. Pokemon X introduced a new method of training Pokemon; Super Training! You can access Super Training via the bottom screen of the 3DS. In Super Training, you aim soccer balls at balloons of different Pokemon; each with its own way of attacking you. After completing these training sessions, your Pokemon's base stats increase slightly, and you are rewarded bags that can increase your Pokemon's stats even further in Core Training.

The only cons about this game are that 3D mode is only during battles but not in over-world view, and that there are only 69 new Pokemon is Generation 6 (though you still encounter many Pokemon because you can find Pokemon from Generations 1-6). So overall, Pokemon X is a revolutionary game with only a few flaws that successfully introduced Pokemon to the Nintendo 3DS.
