Scribblenauts (DS) Review
5th Cell’s Scribblenauts is an odd game. Odd, why? Because it’s one of the few games that is actually new and innovative in this day and age. Forget first-person shooters in drab brown colours or DS games starting with Imagine and ending i...

Giana Sisters DS Review
While some might say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, there is another side to it as well. When you imitate something, it’s hard to NOT draw comparisons to the source material. On that note, some people may remember the Great Gi...
