Boulder Dash XL 3D Review [Capsule Computers]

Catnip Games was tasked with updating an old classic for Xbox Live Arcade and PC and in 2011 Boulder Dash XL was excavated from the craggy, ancient ruin of 1984’s Boulder Dash. The developer did a stellar job, refreshing the visuals but leaving the simple gameplay mechanics more or less untouched. Who, however, played this reboot and thought ‘you know what this needs: some nausea-inducing 3D effects courtesy of the 3DS’? Still, around a year after the big screen version here it is, with a budget £19.99 price tag to go some way towards making up the difference in price with the downloadable version.
