I actually enjoy being sceptical about a game because when I get proven wrong it’s usually something good to be proven wrong about. After a good but flawed Kingdom Hearts game on the Nintendo DS, and a vastly superior product on the PSP, I t...

Professor Layton and the Lost Future (DS) Review
The Professor Layton games have been a welcome addition to the Nintendo DS library ever since the first title. Now with a handful of games on the system, how is the good professor doing this time around? Fear not, Lost Future retains the same great st...

Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (DS) Review
I’m actually quite a huge fan of the Pokémon Ranger series, for a number of reasons. The main one is that these games are generally a little bit more shallow and easier to play through, and this isn’t a bad thing, as all the Pok&eac...

Super Scribblenauts (DS) Review
Scribblenauts was one of last year’s most talked about and hyped up games. The idea was simple: a game that let’s you do whatever you want, spawn nearly anything you like and solve puzzles in any number of ways was an exciting prospect. Ho...

Sonic Colours (DS) Review
It’s admittedly quite dangerous to review different versions of the same game, but thankfully there’s a little bit of variation between both the Wii version and the DS version of Sonic Colours. Even better for SEGA, the DS version continue...

James Bond 007: Blood Stone (DS) Review
You would probably not be wrong to think that I’m almost James Bonded out with the last two iterations of GoldenEye 007 that I’ve had to review. But, just before I started to take a rest, I remembered that James Bond 007: Blood Stone, the ...

GoldenEye 007 (DS) Review
I am finding myself in a bit of a strange situation, because this review that I write is quite possibly going to be one of the only ones available for this game. Goldeneye 007 on the Nintendo DS is developed by n-Space, who have done great work on pre...

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (DS) Review
Dragon Quest is one of the most storied franchises in Square Enix’s line up, though it’s understandably living in the shadows of the Final Fantasy series too, having had notably less exposure to the West. Thankfully, with the most recen...

Iron Man 2 (DS) Review
The first Iron Man movie game on the Nintendo DS was very naff. Conforming to the typical movie game cliché, it wasn’t very good. Iron Man 2 is a very different beast with a storyline that doesn’t really stick to the movie and tw...
