Those that have followed the series will know it has seen similar success on both the Nintendo DS and Wii, as well as a recent diversification outside with Gardening Mama. The DS however is the game’s spiritual home and where it simply works the best. The tactile taps, swipes and circles crea...

Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS is a kind of adventure game that you don’t see often — actually, there hasn’t ever been a game like Scribblenauts; an adventure game where your character progresses through the levels by you typing the name of an object, pretty much any object you can thin...

As is often the case with translations between two very different platforms, the PSP version of "Chinatown Wars" definitely suffers from the game's DS-focused design. This is especially apparent with the minigames, as many of them were developed to use the DS stylus and split-screen fo...

Our time with the Nobody Roxas in Kingdom Hearts II was far too short. Square Enix rectifies this oversight with Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS. It's the first Kingdom Hearts title for the Nintendo DS, and the first Kingdom Hearts title with multiplayer, but is it a game worthy...

Aspyr’s Treasure World for the Nintendo DS is a pretty interesting game especially if you’re into wardriving (WiFi hot spot hunting) on foot. The game’s story is pretty simple, you are to help an old-professor-type to fill up his space ship with stardust.

While I do enjoy the console editions of the Guitar Hero games (perhaps too much, even), the On Tour offshoot comes across as a blatant cash-in attempt. The whole point of Guitar Hero, and what made it so popular, is that it made regular schmucks like me feel as if we were actually playing the g...

Nintendo has been on a winning streak since the original Nintendo DS hit stores in 2004. That was followed by the redesigned DS Lite and then the insanely popular Wii. The Nintendo DSi was designed and manufactured by Nintendo, released on April 5th in North America and retails for $169.99. Pl...

The top screen of of the DS is where the action is.  Here you play the games, which are surprisingly solid - each one a prime representation of both it’s genre and the year of it’s fictional release date.  As the “years” progress the complexity of the gameplay and the graphical design noticeab...

The touchscreen also plays host to a number of vehicle specific buttons. If you are driving the ambulance, there are buttons to turn on the siren and to open the vehicle’s back door so that the stretcher (and patient) can be taken out or placed in.

Gamers frustrated with the lack of storage on the Wii may have a glimmer of hope, if we're reading Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata right. He endured the usual end of quarter question barrage from the financial community recently, revealing many a hint about the company's plans for the Wii and Ni...

Your first port of call (ahem, sorry about the pun) is to learn how to use the Stylus. They really needn't have bothered with the tutorial on this part, as Anno's control system has obviously been designed with the DS in mind. Everything in the game is controlled entirely by the stylus. The top s...

I've been disappointed with Sim games on the DS lately. First we had Theme Park, which is a port of the 14 year-old SNES game with absolutely nothing new added in. Second, we had Sim City DS, which valiantly attempts to win the DS Sim category with it's classic game play, but stumbles at the fini...
