Here's how you survive crucial Chrono Trigger battles
During its time (and even until today), there is nothing quite like Chrono Trigger. This distinctiveness can be attributed to the fact that the combat is a mix between real-time and turn-based action. Because of this, fights are always exciting—especially when dealing with the bigger, badder bosses. This is what we’re going to focus on this week.

Reviews – Chrono Trigger (DS)
November 27, 2008 by Mike · 3 Comments
The DS version of Chrono Trigger is arguably the best.
Reviewing remakes/re-released games can be tricky, especially when the reviewer played the game during its earlier incarnation. Consequently, it’s hard to give the remake a blank slate, and perhaps it’s not even fair to do so because it had already aged.
The Nintendo DS version of Chrono Trigger has been reviewed by several publications. Alas, most of these publications—if not all—have critiqued Chrono Trigger with rose-tinted glasses. Today, we review Chrono Trigger DS without these glasses, without the fondness that influenced previous reviews.

Forget everything you know about the stealthy, menacing sort of ninjas that TV and other video games have taught you. In Ninjatown, the newest game for the Nintendo DS, there is but one kind: the sugary-sweet, cuddly ninjas that make the best cookies this side of Mrs. Field’s.
