Pushmo Nintendo 3DS Review

Nintendo has surprised everyone lately with the fantastic content in their 3DS eShop. Currently they even have begun giving demos of certain games, like Resident Evil. One perfect addition to the eShop is Pushmo! Pushmo is a game where you play as a Mario looking character that is supposed to save other little pushmo creatures by solving block puzzles.
