Sally's Salon

Sands of Destruction

Scene It? Twilight

Konami is taking Twilight, everyone's favorite film/book series starring angst-ridden vampires, and making it a fun trivia game. Yay?

Science Papa

The stylus controls are unresponsive, the graphics are uninspiring, the story is inconsequential, the tasks are repetitive and the music’s appalling. It’s worrying to think that parents might buy this thinking it will spark their children’s interest in the scientific arts.

Scooby-Doo! First Frights

Whoever you play as, you’ll be smashing objects to get items, engaging in frustrato-combat with herky-jerky enemies and struggling to deal with the camera’s drunken swoops. It’s just not much fun, which is a bit of an oversight for a game...

Scrabble

Scribblenauts

While there are a few puzzles with satisfyingly original solutions, the freedom to write anything you want is outweighed by the limitations of the core mechanic and the lousy controls.

Scurge: Hive

Space-faring bounty hunter tracks down a parasitic organism while finding suit-enhancing power-ups. Shh, don't tell Nintendo.

Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure

Who would want objectives when you can just float around, eat, and try not to be eaten? Oh, most people? Then maybe you should head for a different game and not this tribute to averageness.

Secret Files: Tunguska

23/05/2008

While condensing it from the PC onto the DS might seem impressive, the plot, presentation and gameplay of Secret Files: Tunguska is by-the-book point and click tradition.

The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun

20/11/2009

Secret Saturdays DS is what you would get if you distilled the best parts of several other games and slapped a coat of Cartoon Network on top.

Sega Casino

Sega Superstars Tennis

This pint-sized edition of Sega fan service via sports offers even more fun and better controls than its bigger Wii brother.

Settlers

You control a group of Roman explorers attempting to survive and set up a civilization on a deserted island.

The Settlers II

30/03/2007

Guide your tribe of humans from mud huts to magnificent castles in the DS version of a PC series that's insanely popular in Germany.

Sexy Ladies

The hottest babes that represent gaming. Ooh la la.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge

The lovely 2D genie Shantae returns in this DSiWare sequel to the Game Boy Color adventure classic.

Shaun the Sheep

In Shaun the Sheep, the sheep have escaped and Shaun must find the rest of the flock before the Farmer comes home. Apparently, it's based on a series the Wallace and Gromit guys created.

Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy

22/05/2009

Appalling voice acting makes this feel very shoddy, though with the sound turned down it’s a passable "entry level" point 'n' clicker if you can find it cheap.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

Tokyo has been locked down as devils invade the city. You have to try your best to make it out alive with as many others as you can in this deep and addicting strategy RPG.
