Meteos Wars Micro-Review: Make It Rain [Review]

31 Dec 2008 14:30:10 PST

Written by Michael McWhertor
Works Without The Touchscreen: The touchscreen controls of the Nintendo DS original obviously aren't going to work on the Xbox 360 and, fortunately, the transition to a standard control pad works just shy of splendidly. Navigate your pile of brightly colored blocks with the left stick,...

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia gives the Nintendo DS its third "let's borrow liberally from Metroid" Castlevania entry, this time putting the lovely empty vessel Shanoa in the Dracula-slaying lead. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia was developed and published by Konami, released in No...

DS Review: Ninjatown

16 Nov 2008 03:19:16 PST

Written by Beau Rosser
For the most part, user input is handled well with the stylus. Picking the appropriate Ninja hut to build, choosing which huts to upgrade, and selecting the Ol’ Master Ninja powers work seamlessly with the stylus, but I found moving the camera around the battle field felt clumsy and slow. So...

Review / Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS)

04 Oct 2008 15:47:41 PDT

Written by Thom Dinsdale
Back in the early 90’s Sonic the Hedgehog was one of gaming’s most iconic characters. As SEGA battled with Nintendo for lead in the console market (oh how times have changed) it was that spikey blue blur which lead the company’s charge.

But just as soon as I'd resigned myself to being hauled downtown, I realized that Nintendo had staged this publicity stunt (check out a pic of the brigade at Techmamas) to promote a new Nintendo DS game, Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir. 20, Nintendo Rating: Images courtesy Nintendo

Review: Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for DS

Written by James
Share This Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer first come out in Japan in 1995 on the Super Nintendo or Super Famicom, and a year later it was ported to Game Boy. That release was also in Japan only. But now, SEGA has taken over the ChunSoft franchise and released the title on the Nintendo DS. Re...

Nintendo DS Review: Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery (EU)

07 Jul 2007 23:33:09 PDT

Written by Andrew Ogier
I've been disappointed with Sim games on the DS lately. First we had Theme Park, which is a port of the 14 year-old SNES game with absolutely nothing new added in. Second, we had Sim City DS, which valiantly attempts to win the DS Sim category with it's classic game play, but stumbles at the fini...

Nintendo DS Review: Touch the Dead

29 Jun 2007 17:20:42 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
With no relation to the popular Sega franchise House of the Dead, the development studio that handled Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure on the Game Boy Advance shifts gears (drastically) to Touch the Dead. Dream On Studio brings this shooter to the DS with some unique ideas that un...

Nintendo DS Review: Tomb Raider Legend

11 Jun 2007 20:52:16 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
Other uses of the DS include selecting items from the menu (weapons, health, PDA) or uncovering artifacts. The latter is done by rubbing "dirt" off the item by sliding the stylus around. Other items are too fragile to be brushed, and the microphone comes into play as you blow away excess dust.

Nintendo DS Review: Theme Park

03 Jun 2007 11:04:08 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
Almost everything is handled with the touch screen. Buttons or the d-pad move a camera around to different areas of the park. In a nice move, simply tapping your selection isn’t enough. You’ll need to circle or draw a check mark on the item, helping the player avoid costly mistakes.

Frankenreview: Touch of the Dead (DS)

24 May 2007 10:30:21 PDT

The first thing you notice when the game starts is the awful graphics. Touch the Dead reinvents what it means to have jaggies. Everything is pixilated and bland and the closer the zombies come, the worse it gets. Ironic, because the bad graphics actually inspire you to kill the creatures when...

Nintendo DS Review: Tony Hawk Downhill Jam

29 Mar 2007 05:30:29 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
The trick system is relatively generic on the DS. Face buttons handle the basics such as grinding, grabs, and ollies. Special maneuvers require a tap of the touch screen once a meter has been filled. There’s no reason these couldn’t have been assigned to a button, and it’s a sad case of using th...

Nintendo GBA Review: TMNT

26 Mar 2007 10:46:59 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
After leaving an era of classic after classic, the Ninja Turtles video game career collapsed into a mess of sloppy ideas that failed to capture any of the magic from the arcade and 16-bit titles. That trend has continued with TMNT on the home consoles, yet this little unnoticed Game Boy Adva...

Nintendo DS Review: Star Fox Command

11 Sep 2006 10:01:10 PDT

Written by Ken Edwards
As in Metroid Prime Hunters, aiming is done entirely with the touch screen. This will feel natural for veterans of Hunters, but take some getting used to for others. You will get the hang of it, and find that the controls are very responsive.

Written by Jason "Njiska" Westhaver
Touch control in Break 'Em All is tight and players can easily activate power-ups simply by tapping the on screen button. Using buttons to play is equally smooth, however it's not as easy because where touch screen which allows your paddle to immediately jump into position you need, butto...
