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 a game breaker), or the horrible controls (the Paddle Controller is sucky because it’s too fast) or the now commonplace techno-funky soundtrack (which can give lullabies a run for their money) that caused such a lethargic response from me.

In short, it will be quite a long time before I play this game again.
