19 Nov 2009 05:44:00 PST

Written by dsunlimited
Such a strange combination of designs to make the DS sequel. But it works, for the most part. by Craig Harris November 18, 2009 – I’ll bet if someone told you that Assassin’s Creed II on the Nintendo DS was a lot like Sonic the Hedgehog, you’d probably have a hard time believing them. That’s exact...

Scribblenauts review

04 Nov 2009 22:16:07 PST

Written by James Hyde
Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS is a kind of adventure game that you don’t see often — actually, there hasn’t ever been a game like Scribblenauts; an adventure game where your character progresses through the levels by you typing the name of an object, pretty much any object you can thin...

Written by Mike Fahey
Our time with the Nobody Roxas in Kingdom Hearts II was far too short. Square Enix rectifies this oversight with Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS. It's the first Kingdom Hearts title for the Nintendo DS, and the first Kingdom Hearts title with multiplayer, but is it a game worthy...

Nintendo DS Review: Treasure World

13 Jul 2009 07:08:22 PDT

Written by tokyo_nights
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.

Opinion: Impressions: Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits

27 Jun 2009 15:23:57 PDT

Written by Shaun Hatton
While I do enjoy the console editions of the Guitar Hero games (perhaps too much, even), the On Tour offshoot comes across as a blatant cash-in attempt. The whole point of Guitar Hero, and what made it so popular, is that it made regular schmucks like me feel as if we were actually playing the g...

Review: Trackmania DS, a Racing Game That Plays Well With Others

Written by Nate Ralph
You can create your own tracks with the game's built-in editor. It is surprisingly robust, allowing you to save and trade up to 60 custom levels. Using the Nintendo DS' touch screen, you need only draw the path you'd like to create, and the game will figure out the general layout of twists and t...

Metal Slug 7 (Nintendo DS) Review

28 Dec 2008 07:48:20 PST

With Metal Slug 7 being exclusive to the DS, you would have expected some unique use of the dual screens and/or touch screen. The touch screen is made use of, but you'll barely use it. You basically move the stylus around a mini map of the level to locate items. With the frantic action happening n...

Frankenreview: Touch of the Dead (DS)
