Drawn to Life

Published on: 23rd May, 2009

Sure, other games may have an unlockable mode, others may imply it, but Drawn to Life gives it to you straight: You are God. The cat-like inhabitants of Raposa may refer to you as “The Creator” but you are very much the the omniscient deity they ask for help, pray to and depend on. So, [...]

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Published on: 23rd May, 2009

In some people’s Zelda codec, boat = monotony. Wind Waker’s Triforce trawl and irksome wind realignment did for many of you, leaving jaded gamers in its wake. Well, get over it. Although a canonical continuation of Wind Waker, this is a custom-built DS outing, determined to deliver more than a control-scheme makeover. From the moment [...]

Crash Of The Titans

Published on: 23rd May, 2009

Crash Bandicoot has been around long enough now that he needs a gimmick to capture our attention. In Crash of the Titans, he has one: he can take control of other animals! It’s a simple concept with solid execution that definitely would place Crash’s latest adventure among portable gaming’s finest if only it weren’t [...]

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Published on: 11th May, 2009

Dragon Quest has really found a new home on the DS. DQ IX surprised us all by moving onto a handheld system, and last year’s Rocket Slime paved the way for it. Now Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is the third reason for RPG fans to get a DS (Ok, chronologically it’s the second reason). The [...]

WWE SmackDown

Published on: 11th May, 2009

Now this is weird: an all-stylus, all-prodding, twirling and waggling take on the sport of champions. Like letting Hornswaggle win the Cruiserweight championship, DS SmackDown’s an interesting idea – but one that loses its appeal pretty quickly.

Here’s the setup. Whatever your wrestler’s situation (face-to-face, in a grapple, lying on the floor) you’ve got three options, [...]

Ultimate Mortal Kombat

Published on: 11th May, 2009

Contrary to the arcade ports of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 now available over Xbox Live Arcade and packaged with the PS2 version of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Ultimate Mortal Kombat for DS is not “arcade perfect” – it’s even better, and by far the best version of the game available.
Though the core gameplay is unchanged, developer [...]

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Published on: 11th May, 2009

The Final Fantasy for everyone. That’s a promise likely to make hardcore fans fear for this spin-off from the epic PS2 game, but while it’s definitely not in the same league of complexity as last year’s FFIII remake, it’s undeniably a more immediate experience.

So out go the menu-driven, turn-based fights, the random encounters and the [...]

Contra 4

Published on: 11th May, 2009

Playing like a long-lost gem, Contra 4 recaptures the best of an era, while introducing today’s gamers to the real meaning of “challenge” (swearing like a sailor with no shore leave, if you can’t stand tough games). Picking up where the SNES Contra 3: Alien Wars left off, Contra 4 is just as much a [...]
