Zombies are usually relegated to being the enemy, not the hero, but when alien brain thingys invade the Earth, it makes sense to recruit the only beings (however dead they may be) who like the taste of brains. And that’s really Teenage Zombie’s biggest selling point: it’s silly. Cutscenes involve a lot of amusing banter [...]

It’s hard to imagine that the Nintendo DS, the wildly popular handheld from Nintendo, still hasn’t covered all the gameplay genres. Yet 3D fighting on the handheld has been pretty much non-existent…until now. Naruto Ninja Destiny on DS is the first true 3D fighting game on Nintendo’s portable, and it’s a good one. Featuring scenes, [...]

In Bomberman Land Touch 2 for the Nintendo DS, you take a trip with Bomberman and his friends as they head to Bomberman Land for some mini-game fun. You use the stylus to move your character around the amusement park to gaming booths and acquire coins from them. You get the coins by completing the [...]

You, like me, probably have fond childhood memories of playing Bubble Bobble. Those kind of nostalgic, rose-colored glasses can get you through some pretty hard times, but it just doesn’t work with this DS version. It’s easy to pinpoint the problem, too. The cooperative multiplayer mode–which is what has always made Bubble Bobble fun–is not [...]

So you want a story before you go to bed? Very well, I’ll tell you the story of New Zealand. Once, there was a little kiwi bird whose friends were kidnapped by a leopard seal. To rescue them, this kiwi had to brave spike-ridden mazes and run from crazy owls riding flying toy ducks, and [...]

Mazes of Fate was one of the last good games for the Game Boy Advance and happened to be one of the system’s best RPGs. Unfortunately, a good many of you probably never heard of it, as it quickly tripped, rolled down a hill, and fell into obscurity. This puts me in a difficult position [...]

NARUTO: Ninja Destiny brings 3D NARUTO fighting to the Nintendo DS™ for the very first time. Featuring scenes, characters, and storylines from up to the 140th episode of VIZ Media’s hit TV series SHONEN JUMP™ NARUTO, the game improves upon the Japanese original version with additional characters, content, and a much-improved frame rate. Aspiring ninjas [...]

Jackass the Game seems like an odd one to bring to the DS. Not that I mind mature-themed games on Nintendo’s squeaky-clean handheld, but in the midst of baby caring simulators and Disney license spin-offs, it’s a bit out of place. Jackass really pushes the T-rating, too, alluding to some pretty crass material and swearing [...]

Even after three years, there still aren’t a lot of DS games that make good use of the whole dual screen aspect, and those that do usually aren’t particularly great games, anyway. Say hello to Cookie & Cream. This adorable bunny duo spreads their teamwork across two screens, so Cookie gets the top and Cream [...]

Western RPGs are a rarity these days, probably because nobody likes them. Admittedly, the first-person dungeon-upon-dungeon fest is a little harder to swallow than something like Final Fantasy, RPGs sugared up with FMV cut scenes, fastidious characters, and intricate battle systems. Orcs & Elves is nothing of the sort. It is, however, a great tribute [...]
