Orcs & Elves

Published on: 11th May, 2009

When we first heard about Orcs & Elves, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Yes, it was originally designed for cell phones (bad sign), but it was also produced by John Carmack and id Software (good sign). Whatever its origins, what matters is that the final product is a solid action-RPG that delivers a [...]

Geometry Wars: Galaxies

Published on: 11th May, 2009

At its core, Geometry Wars: Galaxies is pretty much the same as Retro Evolved on the 360, and that’s a good thing. You still pilot the same old claw-shaped ship and must survive never-ending waves of hostile shapes that attack you from every angle for as long as possible. Dodging death by mere pixels, while [...]

Need for Speed ProStreet

Published on: 11th May, 2009

We understand if you shrug at the appearance of yet another episode in the long-running Need For Speed series. After all, between the Undergrounds, Carbons and other assorted NFS-titled accoutrements, it’s become sorta tough to keep up with where the franchise is going these days. However, despite the collective yawn coming from the mouths of [...]

Bomberman Land Touch! 2

Published on: 4th May, 2009

For Bomberman Land Touch! 2, Hudson didn’t try to re-invent the wheel. What they’ve given us with this new game is pretty much what they gave us with the last one: an awesome collection of multiplayer minigames and an Internet-enabled rendition of the classic bomb-heaving battle mode that fans know and love. Think of the [...]

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

Published on: 4th May, 2009

In the last three Ace Attorney games, we’ve followed Phoenix Wright through just about every crazy twist of events imaginable. We’ve been with him through the loss of a close friend, seen him accused of murder at the age of 21, and pulled for him while he fought for his life after nearly being burned [...]

Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Published on: 4th May, 2009

In the world of Professor Layton & the Curious Village, all reviews would be handled in brain-teaser fashion, although they’d likely be much cleverer than anything we could come up with. The game is based around intelligence as proven by your ability to swiftly solve logic problems thought up by the Curious Village’s inhabitants. When [...]

Naruto: Ninja Destiny

Published on: 4th May, 2009

If you’re a Naruto fan who’s been enjoying the Clash of Ninja series for the past few years, we have good news for you. Now, you can take that goofy 3D fighting with you wherever you go. Naruto: Ninja Destiny for the Nintendo DS lets you go one-on-one with 16 familiar characters taken from the [...]

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates

Published on: 4th May, 2009

It’s Final Fantasy, but not as you know it. That is, unless you played Crystal Chronicles on the GameCube, and given its wallet-knackering requirement for four GBAs and link cables, hardly anybody ever did. On DS its prospects are slightly better, although players will need their own copy of the cart (and a DS) to [...]

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008

Published on: 4th May, 2009

There are certain characteristics that you generally associate with Pro Evolution Soccer – unerring attention to detail, air-tight simulation and crisp gameplay. Recruiting players from a toy dispenser is not one of them, but then DS Pro Evolution Soccer is a unique experience. Gameplay-wise, it’s all quite primitive, lacking any of the graphical finesse or [...]

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

Published on: 4th May, 2009

Up until now, holding the DS sideways like a book has triggered images of brainy minigames or self-help software meant for mommy dearest. After spending five chaotic hours with Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, it’s now become synonymous with nut-busting action on par with Devil May Cry or God of War. Developer Team Ninja has seemingly [...]
