Nintendo DS Reviews

Advance Wars: Dual Strike By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 09/22/05 Advance Wars: Dual Strike is actually the ninth game in a long running series with a seventeen year history in Japan. Of course, you probably know that the series only first brought war to American soil with the release of Advance Wars on the Game Boy Advance in 2001. The series has proved to be... Read More	Nintendogs By Kaleb Rutherford \| 09/15/05 From the creative mind of the ever-popular Miyamoto, Nintendo offers a truly unique handheld experience with Nintendogs. In this simulation, players can control one of several dog breeds. You will be responsible for feeding them, watering them, bathing them, training them, etc.... Read More
Meteos By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 08/20/05 Since the dawn of Tetris, developers have produced tons falling-block games for every game system in an attempt to discover their own addictive formula. Q Entertainment is responsible for one of the most popular games on PSP, a unique puzzle game called Lumines. Just as it took advantage of the... Read More	Polarium By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 08/20/05 When Nintendo was first promoting Polarium, they billed it as the next Tetris. Even though I was (gasp!) never a big fan of Tetris, even I realized that it was a very bold claim. That's not to say that Polarium doesn't bring something new to the table. Read More
Kirby: Canvas Curse By Kaleb Rutherford \| 08/18/05 The Nintendo DS and PSP have both seen a huge drought in software titles since their handheld consoles released to the market. Most of the PSP titles have been ports of PS2 titles while the DS has seen its share of N64 remakes and âtouch screenâ? updates to GBA titles. Sony still has yet to... Read More	Yoshi Touch & Go By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 03/24/05 When <i>Balloon Trip</i> appeared at E3 as a "tech demo," I thought it was pretty fun. It became the full game <i>Yoshi Touch & Go</i>, and as Nintendo started to release information about it, I was starting to get excited for what would be Nintendo's first original... Read More
Super Mario 64 DS By Kaleb Rutherford \| 02/08/05 Nintendo has always been known for making great First Party titles. However, Nintendo learned a valuable lesson with the release of the GameCube. For the first time in the history of the company, they released a console without a Mario title. So it was only fitting that... Read More	Feel the Magic: XY/XX By Kaleb Rutherford \| 02/08/05 With the absence of Wario Ware Inc on the Nintendo DS at launch, Sega stepped in and released arguably the best title available for the Nintendo DS to date. Feel the Magic: XY/XX may be a strange name for a game title but it will give you a glimpse to the fun you can have on Nintendo's new... Read More
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow By Kaleb Rutherford \| 01/08/05 It is no secret that I am a very big fan of the 2D Castlevania titles since Symphony of the Night. To this day, I still consider SOTN to be the greatest 2D game ever made. In fact, I consider it a crime against the gaming gods if you have not played it. Available at under twenty bucks as a PSone... Read More	Spider-Man 2 By Kaleb Rutherford \| 10/12/04 Spider-Man has been pretty busy lately. After his huge success at the box office for the two big feature Spider-Man films, Spidey has been popping up on just about every single device possible. The first Spider-Man game, based on the movie, was pretty good and the second one, while not perfect,... Read More
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past / Four Swords By Jared Cook \| 03/30/03 Recently Nintendo has made a great addition to the famed Zelda series. When rumors started to fly about the first Zelda game to include multiplayer support, many fans began getting nervous. I had doubts myself, but be assured â whether youâre a Zelda guru or completely new to the franchise (... Read More
