While the Wii version of SimAnimals is a clunky, ugly mess, the Nintendo DS edition turns out to be a solid ecosystem simulation for kids. It has a very generic, "mobile game" look to it, but the touch screen controls work well and the low...

by
Raymond J. Brighton
FIFA 10 on DS takes a very similar approach to last year's game. Everything still runs at a very smooth 60 frames per second and they pack about as much visual fidelity as you can on the limited DS hardware. Download FIFA 10 and Unlimited...

Back in 2004 the Game Boy Advance got a freaking sweet Astro Boy game when the consoles got a lame one. With the release of the movie another fairly lame console game is out. Unfortunately gamers can't snag their favorite Nintendo handheld for salvation, because...

by
Raymond J. Brighton
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter has some stuff going for it. It's telling a detailed story, it's pretty, the creation aspect is cool, and there is a lot to do. Sadly, those parts don't come together in the end. The pacing is off thanks...

In Sudoku Ball –- Detective you solve a murder mystery by solving Sudoku puzzles. It may sound strange, but I suppose it's no stranger than killing a goblin by matching colored gems in Puzzle Quest. I don't want to give you the idea that Sudoku...

If you're here for Halo, the exit's over there – because as amazing as it might be to get a game called Imagine Master Chief on the DS, this one's less a letter. Imagine: Master Chef is a quaint and cute little cooking sim, as...

by
Raymond J. Brighton
This ludicrous scenario may seem an unlikely story for a children's game, but that pretty much sums up the plot of Spanish for Everyone, Activision's tongue-placed-firmly-in-cheek game for the Nintendo DS.This whacky linguistic adventure not only fails to teach kids any Spanish, but encourages them...

by
Raymond J. Brighton
It would have been nice if the game wasn't bogged down by all of these other cartoons that nobody even likes (SpongeWhoNow?) but what are you going to do? Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots is a repetitive ho-hum title, but it's made cooler by an...

Klondike Solitaire is the perfect game to take with you on the road because it's fun and incredibly pick up and play in its design, and the version created in Solitaire Overload is slick and well developed. But we're not reviewing Klondike Solitaire…we're reviewing Solitaire...

Last year's Avatar title for the Nintendo DS had a distinct lack of Toph. The smart-mouthed blind girl with some serious rock hurling skills was sorely missing, so we're happy to report that she is a playable character in the Tose Software developed Avatar: The...
Dementium: The Ward DSi Game Review - Download Dementium: The Ward Nintendo DSi game! -
by
Raymond J. Brighton
Why teams seem to be afraid of the genre is a mystery, but two fresh faces to the DS platform, developer Renegade Kid and publisher Gamecock, clearly want to hit the handheld with explosive force and launch an original FPS of its own creation. Dementium:...
Lost in Blue 3 DSi Game Review - Download Lost in Blue 3 Nintendo DSi game! -
by
Raymond J. Brighton
Maybe Konami never heard the old cliché about the third attempt and its charming qualities. After two Nintendo DS games of the same tedious babysitting gameplay mechanics (based on an actually fun Game Boy Color game), Lost in Blue 3 washes ashore with a heaping...

Ubisoft's Imagine series has been a bit hit or miss. Some of its installments, like Animal Doctor and Master Chef, have been worth a look – while others, like Babyz and Fashion Designer, have taken their place among the ranks of the least desirable games...
Need for Speed Undercover DSi Game Review - Download Need for Speed Undercover Nintendo DSi game! -
by
Raymond J. Brighton
Yep, another Need for Speed console game pretty much guarantees a rendition for the Nintendo DS. Need for Speed Undercover, however, feels a lot more phoned in than past console-to-DS ports from Electronic Arts. Yep, it's a racing game, but it lacks all the flair...

by
Raymond J. Brighton
The Nintendo DS version of Tom Clancy's EndWar gets off on the wrong foot right from the start with its box quote that claims it won Game Critics' "Best Strategy Game of E3." This is, of course, not true, as the portable EndWar wasn't even...
