Flower Sun and Rain DS review

Sumio is a ‘searcher’. He searches for things, that’s his job. He claims the word ‘lost’ isn’t in his vocabulary, which must make it difficult for him to write down his job description. However, even professional finding-guy Sumio has problems when he finds himself stuck with a massive list of missing items to find, a bomb to defuse and an endless temporal loop making the same day repeat itself, Groundhog Day-style, slowly driving him mad. Also, there’s a ghost in his hotel room. It can only be a weird Playstation 2 port of Flower Sun and Rain for DS. Flower,...

Need for Speed Undercover review

It’s almost the end of another year and each year seems to bring another version of the racing franchise Need For Speed. This new one sees you infiltrating a gang of street racers in order to uncover some organised crime and drug syndicates. Just how racing against them somehow leads to arrests isn’t quite clear. Still, it’s an excuse to race around the city streets and avoid the cops. Even though you’re on their side they don’t know that so there’s another excuse for some high-speed racing and a high probability of losing your no claims bonus. The game claims...

Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Nintendo DS Christmas games review

So Christmas is almost upon us and you may be out doing some last minute shopping for relatives. If you haven’t a clue what to get them but you know they’ve got a DS, here’s a few suggestions of something that’ll make them go ooooh. The biggest game of the year so far for me was Professor Layton and the Curious Village. The game features about 150 puzzles ranging from mathematical problems to sliding puzzles and riddles. It’s so addictive, any relative you give it to won’t be able to put it down, whatever their age. Also, you could do...
