Dec 16, 2007
There are plenty of games that you can ask for, buy (or offer) in this time of the year, but not all of them are actually worth your money. In case you want to get the best experiences that money can buy, be sure to look for the following titles:

NintendoSpin Recommends Multiplayer DS Games
Dec 1, 2007
Saul’s Favorite Multiplayer DS Games:
Mario Kart DS: It’s Mario Kart. It’s online. Not much more needs to be said, right? We’ll, I’ll say more anyway. The first game to take Nintendo’s revered kart racing series online, Mario Kart DS nails the classic gameplay, adds innovative power ups, and delivers on just about everything it sets [...]

Left Hand, Right Hand
Nov 19, 2007
I have enjoyed the Wii and DS’s approach to broaden the traditional method of video game control, but in the process, left-handed gamers are being put in a difficult position: become right-handed or give up. That’s not to say every Wii game has been too hard to play. Pointing the Wii remote with the left [...]

Editorial: Marketing Corruption
May 18, 2007
By all accounts, Retro Studios has done a fantastic job of bringing the Metroid franchise into 3D with their award-winning Metroid Prime games. Both games, which appeared on the Nintendo GameCube, received critical praise while garnering apparently good sales on Nintendo’s underperforming console. Arguments have been made, however, that Nintendo made critical mistakes in both [...]

Speak!
Apr 19, 2007
So I just finished playing Super Paper Mario. I gave it an 8/10, which is pretty good (unless you’re one of those people who only buys 9.5s or higher). One of my biggest gripes with the game, however, was its glaring lack of voice acting. The constant barrage of text was exhausting, especially when characters [...]

Getting Right Backup
Jan 27, 2007
Initially, I wasn’t too impressed with the Wii’s SD card slot. I had (and still have) no intention of uploading my pictures and using the Wii for a slideshow presentation. But, of course, this isn’t the SD card’s only purpose, and I frequently use them to copy and transfer my Wii game saves to my [...]

The Curse of TV Games
Jan 7, 2007
There’s a strange, new phenomenon sweeping across the nation, and no, it’s not the Playstation 3. It’s TV games. Video games have never been wholly confined to just home and handheld consoles. Tiger Electronics has been pumping out crappy electronic “toys” for ages. But this is different. TV games are actually receiving a lot of [...]

When SHOULD Nintendo launch the Wii?
Jul 26, 2006
While Nintendo hasn’t announced a release date for its next console, the Nintendo Wii, that hasn’t stopped its fans from speculating wildly about when they’ll be able to get their hands on the console. A recent press release from Nintendo even teased fans with the possibility of having the Wii release date secretly hidden within. [...]

Video games consume a lot of my life, I have decided. Though I haven’t even played a game for several days now, I still invest much time into reading about games and writing about games. As such, I frequently peruse the GameFAQ message boards to see how “gamers” are handling certain news. I am always [...]

Deciphering E3 and Wii
May 10, 2006
I watched all three press conferences (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft respectively), so I feel justified to say Nintendo’s turned out the best. Seriously, though, Sony’s shows are boring as hell. At least the Xbox team had some energy backing them up. But even Microsoft’s show lacked something necessary: magic. All the great stuff Microsoft is [...]
