  • The Touch Pen Way To Fighting

    March 25, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0

    Hokuto no Ken, otherwise known as Fist of the North Star, sits near the top of my list of favourite manga series. A violent and often graphic martial arts manga, it’s probably the only comic book which has the Bruce Lee-like protagonist going a-ta-ta-ta! all the time, just like the legend himself. Anyways, I wouldn’t [...]

  • Japanese Import Review: Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu BLACK

    March 23, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0

    Mention Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu Black and most people would go a wa wa what? It’s a truck (or lorry, if you are a Brit) racing game for the Nintendo DS. I don’t really like trucks. They are akin to adding fuel to fire that is rush-hour traffic. The sight of them clogging up the Kesas [...]

  • Sega Superstars Tennis for Nintendo DS – A Review

    March 22, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0

    In retrospect, Sega’s decision to quit making consoles and instead focusing on making games for other consoles is a good one for gamers in general. Otherwise we wouldn’t be enjoying such an excellent tennis game for in the Nintendo DS in the form of Sega Superstars Tennis. I admit that I approached this title with [...]

  • Mr. Bean on the Nintendo DS – A Game Review

    March 17, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0

    Throughout my entire TV-watching life, Mr. Bean is probably the funniest character on TV who no one would dare associate with. Come on, being called or compared to Mr. Bean isn’t funny at all even though his silly/funny antics kept us tuning in week after week. One spin-off from the live-action Mr. Bean TV series [...]

    “Toto, I’ve got a feeling that we are not in 1978 anymore, and this ain’t our daddy’s Space Invaders we’re playing here“. That is exactly what sums up the experience of playing Space Invaders Extreme on the Nintendo DS. Space Invaders Extreme presents a 21st century update to one of modern video gaming’s pioneer titles [...]

  • Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer: The First Hour Review

    March 9, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0

    I managed to try out Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, a turn-based dungeon crawler for the Nintendo DS yesterday. Fans would know that this is a remake of the old Japanese SNES title, Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Fuurai no Shiren. In fact, both games practically look the same. If you must know, the SNES ROM [...]

  • FIFA Street 3 for the Nintendo DS – A Review

    March 2, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0

    Football games on the Nintendo DS were a lackadaisical affair prior to the recent release of FIFA Soccer 08. I can’t believe that I would be saying this but, EA seems to be carrying on the momentum with the new release of FIFA Street 3. The game starts with you entering your name and selecting [...]
