With so many titles currently available for Nintendo's popular portable, a number of gems are all but guaranteed to be overlooked by the millions of players struggling through the DS's large library of games. Sometimes those unknown titles are examples of portable gaming at its finest, utilizing the stylus and touchscreen in ways both clever and fun. Sometimes they're not. Super Collapse! 3 toes the thick line between those two extremities, representing a puzzle game that's neither amazing or awful. It's simply good, through and through, a title largely unknown that can still be plenty of fun if you're willing to give it a go.
The Collapse! series of puzzle games has been around since 1999, though Super Collapse! 3 is the first title in the lineup to make the jump to the DS. Reviews generally suggest this incarnation does little to improve or mix up the basic gameplay of the series, though that's perfectly fine if you've never given the games a spin. I hadn't even heard of Collapse! until about a week ago, but what I've played since has been a pretty solid amount of fun, so why not come along with this week's edition of Gaming to Go and see if you might enjoy it too?

I discovered the first one on PC around 2001(ish), sometime when Bejeweled was getting big and I much preferred Collapse.
I had seen that there was a GBA version released at one point but didn't think it made much sense to even try playing the game with a d-pad. It seems perfectly suited for the DS though.

Just picked up a DS for my son. Although I don't think he'd be too interested in this, I'm convinced I can get my wife addicted to it. Then she can see how wise I was to invest in ONE MORE GAMING SYSTEM!
