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...

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...
