I remember not too long ago when I reviewed the Nintendo DS version of the movie tie-in The Golden Compass. It was, in a word, horrible. I didn’t know (at that time) of any other game that would be so boring. And unlike its beautifully realized big-screen counterpart, the game was downright ugly. Summer Camp [...]

I just finished watching episode 7 of Macross Frontier and it left me totally in awe of the series. Macross Quarter’s transformation scene and the way it pwned (excuse the net speak) the alien mothership rocks. Not only that, the soundtrack is really good. I was looking for a translation for the song Diamond Crevasse [...]

Its been a long time coming but I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and put Nine Over Ten 9/10 on its very own domain: www.nineoverten.com and hosting server. To all my Feedburner subscribers, the transition should be seamless and once I’m done filtering and putting in the old content from the previous Blogspot blog, [...]

If there’s a game on the Nintendo DS that can (and will) make you miss your baths and is the epitome of the “just-one-more-turn” addiction normally found turned-based games on the PC, that game would be Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Puzzle Quest plays a little bit like one of those Heroes of Might [...]

I’ve got a confession to make. I fell asleep playing Arkanoid DS. I wanted to take my new Paddle Controller for another spin (pun intended) and I was nodding 5 minutes into the game. I don’t know whether it is the really simple graphics (the black gap in the middle between the two screens IS [...]

The idea for the 10th Edition of The ROM Report came to me when I was talking to a couple of my colleagues about 80s cartoon series. I remember being glued to the tube and being fed a diet of Thundercats, Transformers, Centurions, and Spiral Zone. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also a favourite series [...]

NES gamers would probably remember Taito’s classic The Legend of Kage which was released in 1987 for the North American NES. The game was a 2D platformer and even though I’ve played it as a kid, I remembered distinctively that the hero was a ninja that could jump really high, and one of the enemy [...]

I must say that with WFC Connectivity, Speed Racer: The Video Game would have been up there contending with Mario Kart DS for the best racing game title on the Nintendo DS. Admittedly, that thought didn’t cross my mind before I started reviewing the game. Likewise for many movie tie-ins and in-fact many Nintendo DS [...]

Iron Man for the Nintendo DS has been great experience so far, and while I’m playing to unlock the “One Man Army” mode, which I think will get you to blow up more stuff compared to the story mode, the story mode seems to be intriguing on its own. For one, there is that research [...]
