This game has been all over Japan since 2007 and its finally getting translated into English. Why this always takes so damn long I have no idea. I really hope they leave the Japanese vocal track in for the cut scenes like other JRPGs do for the consoles. Judging from the size of the DS [...]

This weekend I decided that I will start playing all the top rated DS games on IGN starting with “Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time”. So far the game has been pretty entertaining. The active combat gameplay is enjoyable and continues to evolve as you learn new moves. The story is typical of all Mario [...]

The gaming scene has been pretty slow in recent weeks so the only thing to do is keep playing the games we’ve been playing since December until the good stuff comes out. Oh and my response to the recent Smash Bros. release is uninspired. I’m not saying its not a fun game but it definitely [...]

Me and my girlfriend starting playing this game just two days ago and shes already addicted. It’s just a game of random puzzles but it’s executed really well. Some of the puzzles are very difficult even for a 24 year male with a college degree. The visuals and art style also keep the game [...]

I just started playing the new Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and so far it’s pretty cool visually. I haven’t gotten far enough into the game to see the CO’s special attacks yet but the units haven’t changed much. The only new units I’ve been able to use are the Motorcycle and the Flare. The [...]

I beat this game this week. It took longer than the other reviews said it would but I was on a trip and that’s what the DS is for. This isn’t one of those games that you’d start up while waiting to be seated at a restaurant so this game requires its own dedicated playing [...]

For those of you who were lucky enough to experience Super Dodge Ball on the NES will be happy to hear that it will be porting to the DS in full brightness and color. This was an incredibly fun game that I enjoyed when I was a kid and I’m excited to hear that I’ll [...]

Sony announces new Slim PSP. It’s like when the DS Lite was released except a year later. It’s been done… Sony might gain a little revenue with this one but that just means the stacks of Original PSPs that didn’t sell will never leave those storage shelves. There hasn’t been a game on the PSP [...]

Yesterday I sold my Nintendo DS so I could buy a Nintendo DS Lite. The transaction went pretty smoothly, the kid got there a little late but no big deal. He had the money in cash of course. He didn’t even inspect what was inside the box. I could have given him a brick or [...]

So I was able to make my first trade yesterday. It was sort of a pain because I had to go and search for the Pokemon I wanted (Pichu) then disconnect and go catch the Pokemon they were looking for. Not only did I have to catch it but I have to level it up [...]
