A Review By Tel Prydain in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Back when I got my first DS, the majority of the available games consisted of simple puzzle games, licensed trashed and a few well-polished first-party games. I recently picked up a new DS, and I’m happy to report that this is no longer the case. The World Ends With You is a great example of the kind of games that the DS is now host to. ...

A Review By biosc1 in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
I have a confession to make. This is my first RPG on the DS. I've been away from the RPG genre for a long time and I wanted something simple. I also wanted a game that would integrate the touch screen. I know that this game is probably not everyone's first choice, but it was my first choice because I knew that i...

Since their early work with Black Isle, I’ve been a Bioware fanboy. They have created epic scale RPGs with the Baldur’s Gate Series, amazing online experiences with Neverwinter Nights and licensed games that are actually good with Knights of the Old Republic. As a fan of Western RPGs, I look to them as the last bastion of a dying ge...

Animal Crossing: Wild World for the DS is pretty much more of the same. If you've played Animal Crossing for the Gamecube you already know all you need to about the game. It starts out the same way, and aside from the additions of some new furniture, new characters and a few new additions to the various buildings, and WiFi multiplay not a whole l...

A Review By StinkyCheese in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Chocobo Tales is another spin-off of Final Fantasy, (as if there wasn't enough already)chronicling the adventures of a brave chocobo trying to save his friends. While it may keep story elements such as the plot of four crystals and a dark, twisted villain of traditional FF games, leveling up and turn-based battles are replaced by minigames and ca...

A Review By livE ecivonvA in Nintendo DS » Puzzle
Ontamarama is a rhythm game in which you use creatures called Ontama, to clear a number of songs. As soon as a song begins to play, you must play the notes that appear and clear it with a certain amount remaining on the performance gauge before the song is finished playing. On the touch screen, you'll notice the staff located at the top of the s...

A Review By tashi in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
The World Ends With You is an amazing DS game. It proves once again that handheld games don't have to be trite, pointless, or short. I've played this game countless hours, and the endgame content is such high quality I know I'll be playing this game much longer. The World Ends With You gives you a solid gaming experience, and then it gives you co...

A Review By eYak in Nintendo DS » Puzzle
Every once in awhile, a game comes along that celebrates the core value of gaming: fun. Whether it has a cinematic plot, visceral gameplay, or makes you rack your brain trying to come up with a solution (without resorting to GameFAQs or the like) or not, a game can fall short of the one determining factor of its value. Professor Layton an...

A Review By Workyticket in Nintendo DS » Action
We all know the story of Geometry Wars, the bonus minigame from Project Gotham Racing 2 whose cultish word of mouth fortuitously coincided with both the resurgence of retro gaming and the latest generation-leap in gaming hardware. It began as an easter egg, and grew into a downloadable, standalone game that almost single-handedly established ...

You have to kill certain targets because fat, ungrateful men in shops tell you to. Gameplay and Controls: You run around and push buttons to do combos and slash people. Stealth or whatno...

Game: Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword Style: Action/Adventure Platform: DS Before I get started I would like to say that this is my first step, err.. leap, into the Ninja Gaiden series. However, I find that Dragon Sword (DS) is a great way to get started! I picked up this game not really expecting much. I was instead pleasantly surprised...

Developer: Square Enix Platform: DS I got to play this game for a while, and what I saw I was very impressed with. Although I haven't played through the entire game, I got a good taste of it. Boy oh boy was it a sweet taste! The Story: In The World Ends With You (TW), you end up in a second universe type deal. You bump int...

A Review By tashi in Nintendo DS » Adventure
Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol is a wacky, clever, and enjoyable game. I wasn't aware the DS game was a sequel to Chibi-Robo for GameCube, so this review won't be comparing it to its predecessor. Instead, I'll look at it as a standalone handheld title which is pretty fun, but not perfect. Story: I found the story cute and interesting. You are ...

Another Mario side-scroller, you might be thinking. And for a portable console, you might add condescendingly. How fun could it be, you would foolishly ask yourself. But New Super Mario Bros. is new and super fun. Story: The story is... um. was there one? I didn't let it interfere with the gameplay. I guess Princess Peach got kidnapped ...

A Review By Camel in Nintendo DS » Adventure
YAY The humor and gameplay from the Phoenix Wright series remains intact. The graphics have been given a slight upgrade. It's nothing amazing, and the judge looks completely unchanged (which may have been a conscious decision), but it's definitely a noticeable difference overall. There are new ways to interact with evidence and ...

A Review By PureNell in Nintendo DS » Strategy
“Days of Ruin” places a dark veil on the Advance Wars series that we’ve come to know and love. While I am typically a huge fan of games that take a light hearted approach, I have to be honest in the fact that after playing this game, I wholeheartedly welcome the majority of the changes that Intelligent Systems has made. ...
