Geometry Wars Galaxies review

If you like your shoot ‘em ups then listen up because I may have a game for you. It’s Geometry Wars: Galaxies on the Nintendo DS and it’s a hectic bit of fun to say the least. The game’s called Geometry wars because you are a little Geometric shape flying round an arena in spce being chased by lots of other geometric shapes that want to bump into you and blow you up. It’s like a mathematician’s bad trip. You may have played a version of this game on Xbox Live arcade called Geometry Wars Retro Evolved where the aim...

Jackass The Game review

Just before Christmas, Jackass the game came out on the PS2 and the PSP from little-known publisher Red Mile Entertainment, in association of course with MTV. Well, on the other side of the year the DS game comes to the shop shelves and, despite not being very good, at least it’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be which is a saving grace seeing as I had to play it. In a way, the game plays a little like a Tony Hawk game. You run and ride around six locations full of cars, tress, buildings and...

Jenga World Tour review

Right now it’s not a preview as such but a rant about a game Atari sent me this week. That game is Jenga World Tour on the DS and I think it takes the crown as the most pointless game ever made. If you don’t know, Jenga is a game where you remove blocks from the middle of a wooden tower and put them on top, thus making it taller and more unstable as you go. The loser is the person who makes it topple. This is a game based on touch and gravity and unfortunately, despite the touch screen...

DK Jungle Climber review

There’s one thing you can almost guarantee when Nintendo bring out a game that’s based on a character that’s in some way related to Mario. That is, it’s usually going to be very good and have lots of new ideas. Once again, they’ve come up trumps with a game featuring Donkey King. It’s DK Jungle Climber and it really is something rather new and perfect for the DS. Basically, the levels span over both screens and you control Donkey Kong most of the time with just 3 buttons. The A button to jump, and L and R for his left...

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass review

I’ve always been a bigger fan of the Zelda games on handhelds than on the consoles. It just comes down to a time thing, even though I love the games, I just don’t get time to finish them on the GameCube, N64 or even the Wii. However, on the Gameboy Color, Advance or the DS, I can make use of dead time and get really involved when on the move. Which is why I’ve been looking forward to Phantom Hourglass so much and it hasn’t disappointed one bit. Looking very similar to Wind Waker in terms of cell-shaded graphics and...

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword

Time to preview a game I only saw for the first time today when I stumbled upon it by accident online. It’s Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the Nintendo DS and this one’s got me very excited as it doesn’t use any buttons on the handheld, just the stylus. You also play the game with the DS turned on its side as if you were playing Brain Training or Hotel Dusk. It’s an all new story with a female Ninja who is Hiyabusa’s apprentice form the Ninja Gaiden console games. It’s set between Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 and will...
