NintendoSpin Recommends Multiplayer DS Games

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.

Jam Sessions

Avid gamers, the bitter truth is: guitars win girls, not Halo skills. Luckily for you (and me, I’ll admit), there’s something that can help. And no, it’s not Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero is about playing along to somebody else’s music (which is admittedly pretty cool). Jam Sessions is about giving you the freedom to create [...]

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

The handheld Zelda titles have always felt like their own separate line of games. With Phantom Hourglass, however, the gap has been lessened.

Hannah Montana: Music Jam

Nothing will make you lose credibility as a hardcore gamer faster than buying a Hannah Montana game. Hey, wait! Hear me out! Though this comes packaged in a girly presentation, hidden within is a rather spiffy music creation tool. It’s commendable that Disney would go to the effort of putting this in when last year’s [...]

Drawn to Life

It’s not easy to be an artist when using the DS’s stylus. And that’s okay. Drawn to Life won’t penalize you for having crappy drawings. Drawing in this game is purely for your own enjoyment, whether your drawings are realistic works of art or kindergarten scribbles (which can be very amusing). But drawing is an [...]

High School Musical: Makin’ The Cut!

The Disney Channel movie hit-”High School Musical”-comes to the Nintendo DS in High School Musical: Makin’ The Cut!. Having never seen the show, I had to refer to the press kit to learn a little bit more about the franchise. In the game, you play as one of six “High School Musical” stars-Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, [...]

Worms: Open Warfare 2

In an age where first-person shooters rule, where instant gratification is key, turn-based games are a little hard to get into and enjoy. Worms isn’t a typical turn-based game, though, because, once it is your turn, you basically have carte blanche. Within a time limit, you can rope to the top of a mountain and [...]
