Is the Stylus Mighty Enough for Dragon Sword? by tgahr3 Pros: Stylus controls work well, fast-paced action, great graphics
Cons: Gameplay lacks variety and can get repetitive, disappointing story, forgettable music Considering the series' history of fast-paced, high-difficulty gameplay, it's understandable why some gamers would be alarmed by the announcement that the upcoming DS Ninja Gaiden would be controlled entirely by the stylus. With its ...

Wild West Pinball: Draw, Varmint! by kjell1979 Pros: authentic look and sound effects, nice when free
Cons: unforgivingly hard, simplistic gameplay and objectives, zooming effect, repetitive music Video game pinball was one of my staples when I used to play PC shareware games back in the mid-80's up through the mid-90's. While some were really easy, others were much harder. Above all most of them were really rewarding because of their complex ...

Neversoft Clever in Making Extra Cash by imtoogood Pros: More songs?
Cons: Song selection, difficulty, length, not fun After Neversoft developed Guitar Hero III, they decided that it would be easy to "earn" more money by making $1 games and sell for $60. Plus, an additional $40 if you wanted the "special edition Aerosmith guitar". However, this game in my opinion was ...

Pac-Man Championship Edition: A Demo Disguised as a Game by kjell1979 Pros: Solid gameplay, decent challenges, retro sound and feel, tons of control options
Cons: unstable, speed up mechanic, expansion packs, questionable value I've always liked Pac-Man. While I've played many clones going way back to the PC Shareware games of the late 80's and early 90's, nothing quite captured my imagination like the arcade original in terms of looks and style. To a lesser extent Ms. Pac-Man ...

Cons: -Slightly repetitive controls Muramasa: The Demon Blade is the best looking game for Nintendo Wii that has recently come out. At first sight, the scenes in Muramasa: The Demon Blade look like a painting from Japanese Buddhist traditions. The 2D game play ...

Ramp Champ: Dump this Chump by kjell1979 Pros: fun, challenging, achievements, decent graphics and audio
Cons: outlandish expansions, doesn't last, not worth it for $1.99 A few weeks ago I was able to pick up Ramp Champ for free. One of the great things I like about the iPhone App Store is that certain titles are available at hefty discounts during the different holidays throughout the year. Christmas is the time to ...

You absolutely can't go wrong with this one! by koihoshi Pros: Amazing physics, VERY customizable, wonderful graphics, very adaptable for varying levels of difficulty.
Cons: Only a few gripes... I bought an XBox 360 because I wanted a console that was fun to play with friends and had some good games.Unfortunately, at one point I started to realize it really had a huge lack of racing games for it. The racing games that were made for ...

Definately Sithy but maybe not quite ULTIMATE by jackiechad Pros:
fun Force powers, graphics, interactions, and story Cons: some annoyances in cameras, reactions, and scene skipping If you already have the game is the Ultimate Sith Edition worth buying? Read on....Star Wars games have been around nearly as long as the movies, but I don’t think one has ever told a canon story before (not counting movie ...

Cubes, Cubes Everywhere! by captaind Pros: Good gameplay and variety of challenge, solid game concept that's been implemented very well...
Cons: Visuals can get a little confusing on later levels... This game, available on WiiWare for only 600 points, this is a very good puzzle game based around that famous multi-coloured cube that, frankly, I could never understand. The game involves you getting all the coloured blocks to their respective exits of ...

Just Dance! Wii's new game is simple and fun for the whole family. by PattyTherre Pros: Fun, good song mix, funny characters, real dance moves, solo or challenge, simple rules
Cons: Only 30 songs, graphics aren't great, scoring is iffy, doesn't save stats I love dance DVDs and find that I get a great cardio workout when I do them. Since my Wii was sitting around not being used much, I decided to try Just Dance for Nintendo Wii. It's fun and does get my heart rate up but the song choices ...

Sword of Fargoal: A Far Out Rogue-Like by kjell1979 Pros: fun, real-time movements, fantastic graphics, retro sound effects, neat controls
Cons: not much magic, little loot, relatively short, single class, lame traps Sword of Fargoal was a game I highly anticipated. I'm a big fan of the rogue-like genre and to see such a great graphical makeover on the iPhone really caught my eye. While I wasn't intimately familiar with the original Sword of Fargoal, I do remember a ...

More like 'Theme Dungeon' by harley4u Pros: Being Lord of Evil. Third person graphics. Intuitive interface.
Cons: VERY repetitive. TERRIBLE AI. Poor first-person graphics. Let's kick this off by saying that if ANYBODY knows how to make one of those building strategy games, it's Bullfrog? Remember Theme Park? And Theme Hospital? Well this is kind of like that, only Theme Dungeon.It's not as good though. Don't get me ...

Basic word games and nothing more, great for fans. by junior_ain Pros: Great for fans, large variety of challenges for each type of game, no unnecessary fanciness.
Cons: Occasional letter recognition quirks, fans only. So the deal is, when you buy Crosswords DS, you're agreeing that you're buying a game basically for crosswords, and that's exactly what you get, plus some more.With your cartridge in hands, you plug it into your DS, turn it on, hold the game like ...

Wolfenstein RPG: Guten Tag by kjell1979 Pros: fun, deep, tons of secrets, recycled graphics and sound
Cons: not entirely turn-based, kind of short, easy, censored, confusing controls The original Wolfenstein 3D shooter was one of my most favorite games growing up. Yes it was a horrifically violent game for that era, but it was fantastic. It definitely paved the way for more advanced shooters like Doom and Quake. So the irony isn't ...

BOO! Scared ya...didn't I? Yeah I did! Stop lying! That's it, I'm telling mommy! Waaaaaaaa...! by ChromeKiller Pros: Inventive puzzles and ache-free combat, Spirit Tracks is everything that Phantom Hourglass isn't.
Cons: Putting up with the screwy camera at times isn't horrible - it's just problematic. More than twenty years down the road you might find yourself questioning the integrity of a franchise. How many times has Mario clobbered King Koopa and all the way through his reshelled career as Bowser, ruler of the Koopa Kingdom? Does Donkey Kong ...

An engine without a game. by theragu40 Pros: Great graphics and interface, good controls.
Cons: Generic characters, story, and gameplay. Feels old the second you start playing. The Conduit for Wii is not a good game. Let's get that out of the way straight out of the gates. This is a game that generated considerable buzz, and unfortunately it falters under the pressure of high expectation. There are a few ...

Rocking out to the NEW Golden Oldies by jackiechad Pros:

I’m not one of these people that is in danger of needing carpal tunnel surgery from playing too much, but I am on track to owning every title. Being such a fan and a child of the ...

Will Populous for Nintendo DS prove a worthy conversion to the handheld gaming console? by rgathright Pros: Faithful conversion
Cons: Fast pacing of game, poor controls, hard to read gaming interface Ever since the first release of this game on the IBM PC, I have been a fan of the Populous gaming lineup. The game is an interesting concept that truly puts you in full control with god like abilities over the non-player characters in the ...

Great but flawed by theragu40 Pros: Fantastic, engrossing gameplay. Good graphics and sound.
Cons: Buggy. Multiplayer is fundamentally broken. Borderlands is the kind of game that makes you wonder what could have been every time you boot it up to play. It is plagued with issues that just should not be in a AAA title from a major developer.Let me begin with the most glaring flaw, ...

Punch Out for Wii - it's not Wii Sports Boxing, but still lots of fun by ldon526 Pros: Fun, nice graphics, fun opponents, balance board compatible

Playing Punch Out for Wii There are several remote options for Punch Out. You can hold the remote on its side to play with ...
