Review: Legends of Exidia (DS)
One would think that because Legends of Exidia resembles old school console rpgs with its side missions and lots of button mashing, it would be totally epic. Unfortunately, it’s not epic, but it does a great job of taking you back to the 2D gaming days where you had hard puzzles to solve and missions [...]
Interview: Talking video games and game journalism with HipHopGamer
I can vividly recall the first time that I met HipHopGamer; actually, the first time that I saw him. I was at an Activision party watching some skinny-pantsed hipsters spin the virtual wax, when I saw a dude bop into the room with a god damned wrestling belt strapped over his shoulder. I thought that [...]
Review: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes (DS)
Earlier this week I posted my first impressions of Ubisoft’s Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, and after long hours of trial and error I’ve finally beaten the game. If you’re asking yourself if it gets that difficult to beat, the answer is yes. I’d never expected to encounter such a high difficulty level on [...]
Best 2D Role Playing Game 2009: Pokemon Platinum
The Pokemon series has evolved tremendously from the days of Red and Blue with a long storyline that will keep you entertained and continually coming back for more. The gaming experience is still the same thing that made the originals and all predecessors work so well and appeal to all ages. With more species, gyms, towns etc, you’ll feel like you bought a whole slew of games instead of just one. The graphics are a bit more polished as well as the sound due to porting to the Nintendo DS(i). If you’re looking for a fun, lasting and unique portable gaming experience then Pokemon Platinum highly deserves your praise.
Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands: Pre-Order Now, Get A Plush Pig Later
It’s not everyday that you’re in the running to receive a pig. Yet that’s exactly what you’ll have the chance to get if you pre-order Natsume’s latest Nintendo DS farming simulation/lovefest, Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands, from Gamestop. Launching on November 10 for $29.99, Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands reunites farmhands with all of the characters characters [...]
Review: Scribblenauts (DS)
Scribblenauts is not a good game. The controls are absolutely maddening. All movement is controlled by the touch screen, and that wouldn’t be so bad if every other action in the game (save moving the camera) weren’t also controlled by the very same tiny surface. You combine these controls with a physics system that would [...]
Review: Time Hollow (DS)
Time Hollow is a story-driven point and tap style adventure along the lines of the cult classic like Phoenix Wright. In Time Hollow, players assume the identity of Ethan Kairos, a high school student whose parents disappear on his 17th birthday. Strangely enough it’s as though they never existed. After your parents’ disappearance, you come [...]
First Impressions: Sands of Destruction, Sega’s New DS RPG
When you’re told that a game was crafted with the assistance of the scenario writer and composer of Chrono Trigger, your ears immediately perk up. That’s what happened to me at a recent Sega event. As I dug through my man-purse in the hunt for a pen to jot notes, Aaron Webber, assistant community manager [...]
Capcom Settles On Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth’s 2/16/2010 Release Date
Although I was initially skeptical of the Nintendo DS when it launched (I thought it nothing more than an uninspired update to the Game & Watch franchise), I now continually give it much-deserved props – – mad props, even – - for bringing a healthy dose of quirkiness into the hands of Jane and Joe [...]
Scribblenauts Gets a Sept. 15 Release Date
If Scribblenauts doesn’t currently place high on your “Games I Must Play In 2009″ list, you hate everything that is wonderful and pure in existence. Hyperbole? I confess, a tad. But I still question your gaming pedigree. Scribblenauts is a title that’s almost doomed to disappoint the legions of gaming nerds that have inhaled every [...]
