Nintendo DS Review: Treasure World
Aspyr’s Treasure World for the Nintendo DS is a pretty interesting game especially if you’re into wardriving (WiFi hot spot hunting) on foot. The game’s story is pretty simple, you are to help an old-professor-type to fill up his space ship with stardust.

NDS Review: LEGO Battles - A Few Bricks Short of Being Mediocre
A departure from its typical 3D platformers such as LEGO Batman and LEGO Star Wars, TT Games latest title for the Nintendo DS, LEGO: Battles is a throw back to the real-time strategy games of the mid-1990s. In fact, you can describe LEGO: Battles as part Warcraft 2 design, part Command &...

The Thing About The iPhone and Games You Should Check Out
Granted that most games can be found on the iTunes Store, getting the iPhone jailbroken in order to try out some third-party jailbroken games via Cydia is something worth the effort. While you are at it, check out Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe and the myriad of retro console emulators avail...

Nintendo DS Review: Anno: Create a New World
Ubisoft will have you believe that the basic needs for people back in 1404 were wood, church, milk and grain, in that order with their latest real-time strategygame for the Nintendo DS. The latest in the Anno series of games, Dawn of Discovery (a.k.a Anno - Create a New World) is basically a cit...

It’s Coraline!
Going on holiday is a pretty good excuse to catch up on video gaming. In my case, I actually managed to finish a Nintendo DS game in less than 24 hours. As an adventure game, Coraline does look pretty good on the Nintendo DS, as everything is in 3D. It’s downright gorgeous during the “Other World”...

Review: Tokyo Beat Down (Nintendo DS)
Sluggish controls aside, beat-em-up starved fans on the Nintendo DS, can still find plenty to like about Tokyo Beat Down. Now, if only someone can take up the task of making one based on the Hokuto No Ken IP, without the touch-screen shennanigans of the previous release.

Trackmania (Nintendo DS) Review!
If someone decided to take the Tamiya Mini-4WD experience and put it on the Nintendo DS, what would you get? In a nutshell, Trackmania. Like the real-life counterpart where it seemingly takes inspiration from, Trackmania can be a really fun experience. Races are divided into three differ...

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars (The Director’s Cut) NDS Review
There’s one game that is eating up my time now, it’s Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars (The Director’s Cut) for the Nintendo DS. And it’s nothing short of genius. A 2D adventure games, it features graphics done by Dave Gibbons, the same man who was the co-creator of Wathcmen. Outsanding 2D g...

FF Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time Copy Protection Methods
Another day, and it’s another look at the copy protection placed on yet another Square Enix game for the Nintendo DS. This time is the brand new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. Now, rather than have you adrift a sea (download a copy of Dragon Quest to find out), the developer...

Dragon Dance (NDS) - A Review & Gameplay Video Included
The objective of each level is pretty simple. A Dragon dance (in is going on, traversing from one end of the top screen, to the other end). Each dancer is represented by a Mahjong tile which is also shown on the touch screen as a pile of Mahjong tiles. You are supposed to clear the Mahjong tiles on t...

Space Invaders Extreme 2 (NDS) Review
Amidst of a techno-soundtrack, a voice announces to you: “Don’t let the enemy freak you out!” If you haven’t realized it already, this is the familiar Space Invaders Extreme experience, only made more colourful, more psychedelic, more pumped up in it’s sequel, Space Invaders Extreme...

Scrabble 2009 (NDS): A Review!
Scrabble Interactive 2009 Edition may seem like a casual game, but it actually would appeal more towards competitive/hardcore Scrabble crowd and basically trumps the previous Scrabble 2007 Edition game released on the Nintendo DS in every single way. More than Words

Guide to Running Neo Geo Arcade Games on the Nintendo DS
That to me was pretty cool. And the fact that there is a way to run Neo Geo arcade games on the Nintendo DS, its all the more exciting. All you need are some prerequisites. First up, you’ll obviously need a Nintendo DS and also a flashkart capable of running homebrew software on the Nintendo DS.

Lord of the Rings Conquest (NDS) First Impressions!
The Lord of the Rings Conquest for the Nintendo DS is a pretty good way to start the year in the case of NDS games. Tolkien fans may complain that the game deviates from the books, but hey, it makes for a pretty good action game, and that in my book, doesn’t harm anyone.

Nine Over Ten’s Top 5 Lists of 2008
Perhaps this year’s most underrated video game on the Nintendo DS, Speed Racer is a fast, frantic and colourful (in a good way) racer for the Nintendo DS. Stopping just short of perfection due to the lack of WFC multiplayer, the game will keep you engrossed with the dizzying tracks and if you...

The Tale of Despereaux (NDS) ~ A Review
I think I broke my platform game jinx this year not only by finishing Metal Slug 7, but also the recently released The Tale of Despereaux, both of which are on the Nintendo DS. While the Metal Slug games have their own distinctive flair (and fan base), The Tale of Despereaux surprised me by bei...

Custom Battler Bomberman ~ Import Review!!
Graphics wise, the game looks no different than a typical Bomberman DS outing. However, the new interface (which is also in Japanese) might seem a little daunting (and busy) but don’t let it fool you. A little trial and error but you’ll be blowing stuff up faster than you can say…”KA BOOOOOOO...

Games That Make You Feel A Wee Bit Political
If you can’t be bothered with Nintendo DS games, check out Obama, McCain and a whole bunch of other people involved in the recently concluded elections in a web-based, Mortal Kombat-type game: http://www.nineoverten.com/2008/10/05/mccain-and-obama-in-mortal-kombat-glory/

Identifying Pirated Nintendo DS Carts From eBay
The package arrived today, along with Pokemon Diamond which I also bought from the same seller. I already had a bad feeling that the games might be pirated versions just by glancing at their shrink-wrapped boxes. My advice is that, if you are looking at Nintendo DS games being sold at really u...

Lego Batman DS: A Review
Not funny eh? Anyways, can I have a show of hands on how many of you use video game guidebooks? By the rate I’m going with Lego Batman DS, I would probably need one, or at least a good GameFAQs guide, which is not available at the moment. Interested in getting Lego Batman for the Nintendo DS?

Sokoban DS: Brain Cracking Puzzles: A Review
I not only spent a lazy Saturday afternoon gardening, sleeping and washing the porch (doesn’t sound very lazy, does it?), but I also took some time to crack some puzzles on Sokoban DS, a new puzzle game for what else, the Nintendo DS. ShareThis

Opinion: Introducing a New Challenger to the Nintendo Wii (lulz)
The Nintendo Wii and Wii Sports make for a rather engrossing combination, but there’s a brand new console in town to take on the Wii (and Wii Sports). Enter the WiNi Sports Game console. Aside from sharing the same form factor as the Wii (and a little of the name as well), this made in China [...]

Opinion: What Nintendo Should REALLY Do With The DSVision.
Regular readers would know that I’ve a got a library of original Nintendo DS games, which numbers a whole lot more than the average Malaysian Nintendo DS gamer would have. And even so, I own a R4DS. It has become an indispensable item to me. The Official Line and What Nintendo Should Do About It

Japanese GTA (sort-of) on the Nintendo DS: A Review + Video
The touchscreen also plays host to a number of vehicle specific buttons. If you are driving the ambulance, there are buttons to turn on the siren and to open the vehicle’s back door so that the stretcher (and patient) can be taken out or placed in.

Do More Than Scratching Your Supercar in GRID (NDS): A Review
The game supports WFC connectivity so that you can pick a fight with friend all around the world. In a totally unrelated thing, the game supports the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak, so plug one in to get some good vibrations (that sounded a little weird).

Jigsaw World: Daigekitou! Jig-Battle Heroes - A Review
When one would think about creating a jigsaw puzzle game for the Nintendo DS, one would probably place an empty board with pieces lying around, and have you, the player, move them into place with the stylus. Sounds boring doesn’t it? Trust the Japanese to come up with something more interes...

On My Nintendo DS: Super Airwolf for the Sega Genesis
This write-up wouldn't have been possible without jEnesisDS, a Sega Genesis emulator for the Nintendo DS, and the R4DS, a flashcart used to run homebrew applications on the Nintendo DS.
