Review: Galaxy Saver (Nintendo DSiWare)
Galaxy Saver Publisher: G-STYLE Developer: G-STYLE Genre: Shoot ’em up Release Date: 01/03/2013 The simplistic nature of shooters has always drawn me in and I’m glad to see the genre has mostly remained unchanged throughout the years. With access to so many free and low-cost digital games, such a simplistic genre can be satisfying on…

Review: Crystal Adventure (Nintendo DS)
Crystal Adventure Publisher: CIRCLE Entertainment Developer: CIRCLE Entertainment Genre: Rouge-like RPG Release date: 12/06/2012 Even though Nintendo continually insists it doesn’t compete with the mobile app market, consumers hooked on portable devices show dedication to bite-sized experiences on the cheap. In this regard, an item such as Crystal Adventure should be a welcome addition to…

Review: Hotel Transylvania (Nintendo DS/3DS)
Hotel Transylvania Developer: WayForward Publisher: GameMill Entertainment Genre: Platformer Release Date: 09/25/2012 To say that platformers are my least favorite genre is an understatement. I’ve never understood the appeal. All that jumping around with very vague (if any) story. Nothing about the genre has ever clicked for me. So then you’re probably wondering why I…

Review: Diamond Trust of London (Nintendo DS)
Diamond Trust of London Developer: Jason Rohrer Publisher: Indiepub Genre: Euro-Style Board Game Release Date: 08/28/2012 Diamond Trust of London is a game that will go down in the record books for a several of reasons.

Review: Pokemon Conquest (Nintendo DS)
Pokémon Conquest Developer: Tecmo Koei Publisher: Nintendo of America Genre: Tactical RPG Release Date: 06/18/2012 When Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition was first announced, it caught everyone off guard. It was such a bizarre idea for a crossover that people seemed to hate it or love just based off the announcement. Personally, I was thrilled, my…

Review: Box Pusher (DSiWare)
Box Pusher DSi Ware Developer: Cosmigo Publisher: Cosmigo Genre: Puzzle Release date: 02/23/12 The Nintendo DS has been home to a lot of puzzle games that try their best to utilize both screen.

Review: Zuma’s Revenge (Nintendo DS)
Zuma’s Revenge! Publisher: Popcap Games Developer: Popcap Games Genre: Puzzle Release Date: 02/21/2012 Personally, Zuma’s Revenge! probably wouldn’t be the first thing I’d want to call a video game. That is unless, of course, the game is meant to be played on the toilet after drinking the water in Mexico. I guess I don’t see…

The name is the same but the game is different, as Flipper 2 is a completely different (and not specifically better) product from its predecessor.

Review: Fossil Fighters: Champions (Nintendo DS)
Dig for fossils, clean the fossils, revive those fossils into prehistoric monsters and create a sport out of battling them. It might not sound like the greatest idea, but it makes a heck of a game.
