Nintendo DS Reviews

Scribblenauts By Kaleb Rutherford \| 09/29/09 Creativity is something lacking in our industry today. Many claim to have some original concepts or ideas--but very few actually deliver. When a company does achieve something truly creative, it is hard to point out and complain about any faults within the product. Such is the case with... Read More	Rhythm Heaven By Kaleb Rutherford \| 04/21/09 Rhythm Heaven is a wildly successful music game that, when released last year in Japan, grossed enough sales to come out to be the best selling DS game of 2008. So something that flys off the shelfs that quickly in the Land of Pikachues and Maid Cafes has to be filled with Japanese humor... Read More
Metal Slug 7 By Kaleb Rutherford \| 12/12/08 Metal Slug is a series known for fast and furious arcade action. Ever since its release in the Arcades and NEO GEO home console in the 90's players have been drawn to the fast-paced sprites with multiplayer support. Over the years, consoles have come and gone and SNK themselves have... Read More	Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends By Kaleb Rutherford \| 01/08/08 Majesco's release of Cooking Mama on the Nintendo DS took the world by surprise. This budget title not only completely blew away all sales expectations--but led to a version on the Nintendo Wii and now a sequel to the Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, just like heating up leftovers, the... Read More
Drawn to Life By Kaleb Rutherford \| 01/08/08 Although it is definitely not the most powerful handheld console on the market today, the Nintendo DS has led he industry to rethink how they make games. While we have seen our fair share of standard games with some "basic touch screen" concepts thrown in, THQ has tried to go the extra... Read More	Sonic Rush Adventure By Kaleb Rutherford \| 09/24/07 Sonic Rush Adventure is the follow-up to the 2005 Nintendo DS title Sonic Rush. Sonic Rush brought the Sonic Advance series to Nintendo's dual screen handheld and gave the platform a much better Sonic experience than any of the "big screen consoles." Sonic Rush Adventure continues... Read More
Touch the Dead By Kaleb Rutherford \| 06/25/07 Zombies are invading your Nintendo DS once again and this time it is up to you to shoot them all down in the first Zombie Light Gun game for the handheld platform. However, instead of being armed with a light gun, you will utilize the almighty stylus to shoot every last Zombie out of your... Read More	The Warriors By Kaleb Rutherford \| 03/21/07 Although Rockstar is well known for completely redefining the videogame industry with the release of the classic Grand Theft Auto III, the company is not a one trick pony. Even though they could continue to be a mass market success with only releasing titles in the GTA series, Rockstar has... Read More
Lunar Knights By Kaleb Rutherford \| 03/18/07 First shown to me at E3 2006, Lunar Knights was a Nintendo DS title shown very early in development. As a result, we were not allowed to film the gameplay and we could not interview the Konami PR representative about the game. As a result of this, I was extremely uninterested in the... Read More	Bubble Bobble Revolution By Daniel "Monk" Pel... \| 10/29/06 I jumped at the chance to review Bubble Bobble Revolution for the Nintendo DS because the arcade game was fun (I remember it from “back in the day) and understood that it would be included in the DS game along with a new updated sequel of sorts. I wound up playing for a while on the Classic... Read More
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 05/01/06 Nintendo's series of productivity/educational software for the DS has really taken off in Japan; it was only a matter of time before NOA would bring some of those titles stateside. <i>Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day</i> is the first entry to come to the US. The concept... Read More	Tetris DS By David Doel \| 03/27/06 One of the longest standing franchises that seem to achieve success wherever it ends up, appearing on practically every videogame console and computer operating system, is Tetris. Since its first mainstream introduction on the Game Boy in 1989, Tetris and its many variant copy-cats are one of... Read More
Metroid Prime Hunters By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 03/23/06 I can still remember my excitement the first time I saw a video of <i>Metroid Prime Hunters</i>. It was at Nintendo's Pre-E3 Press Conference in 2004. Nintendo had only just recently confirmed the rumors that they were indeed making a dual screen handheld in late January. No one had... Read More	Metroid Prime Pinball By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 12/14/05 We're used to seeing Mario spin-offs, but you can understand why Nintendo fans were concerned when <i>Metroid Prime Pinball</i> was announced. Metroid Pinball was developed by the same studio that brought us <i>Mario Pinball Land</i>, a game which was not well received.... Read More
Pac'n Roll By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 11/23/05 For Pac-Man's second outing on the DS, Namco's taken away his arms and legs and dropped him in a big 3D world. That's okay, because as it turns out, Pac-Man controls pretty fun that way. You've read some reviews that claim <i>Pac'n Roll</i> is like a cross between <i>Pac-Man... Read More	Zoo Tycoon DS By Kaleb Rutherford \| 11/11/05 I love going to the zoo. Ever since I was a kid, I have visited the Fort Worth Zoo, watched the monkeys, cautiously went through the reptile exhibit, and looked at the aquarium (before they shut it down. Dang you Forth Worth Zoo!!!). Zoo Tycoon is a title that in theory... Read More
