Reviews – Ninjatown (DS)

The ninjas of Ninjatown are cuddly cute.
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.

GTA Chinatown Wars to have majority of GTA IV map

GTA: Chinatown Wars is going to be BIG.
It pays to know your languages, especially when said languages provide information about your favorite games that can be tricky to come by. Rockstar Watch certainly did reap its benefits, as the site discovered that Spanish magazine Hispana (name may not be translated correctly) claims to know new details about Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS.

Wrestler details are staggering in this WWE handheld game.
At first glance, the Nintendo DS version of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 is quite impressive: the numerous wrestlers look like their real-life counterparts, there are so many moves to choose from, the game’s replay value is close to limitless, each wrestler’s entrance is fairly accurate, and the audio quality is pretty good for a DS game.

The Nintendo DS gets another weird game.
The Nintendo DS is home to the weirdest games on the planet. There are games that are said to improve one’s facial features through facial exercises, while there are others about—erm–groping teen witches, and taking care of virtual “pet” babies, among others. Well, the list is about to get even longer.

When Spider-Man: Web of Shadows was first announced, there’s a good chance that the news was either ignored or taken negatively.

Of late, the Spider-Man video game franchise has been synonymous with the film-licensed video games—to describe it with a word, mediocre. This link is probably because several of the Spider-Man games have been movie tie-ins, and that they weren’t very good. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is Spidey’s sixth appearance in the Nintendo DS. Has Activision finally nailed it? See what the game critics think:

Reviews – High School Musical 3: Senior Year (DS)
October 28, 2008 by Mike · Leave a Comment
By most accounts, High School Musical 3: Senior Year is a critical and commercial success. Could the same thing be said for Nintendo DS game of the same name? If one is familiar with the history of film-licensed video games, the chances of having a good tie-in aren’t very encouraging. Does High School Musical 3: Senior Year buck that trend?

Review Surfing – Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)
More and more critics are speaking up about Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. What’s interesting is that many of these staunch critics are known to be rather stingy in praise and generous in handing out censure (i.e. Destructoid, 1UP). Upon playing the franchise’s third installment for the Nintendo DS, the curmudgeons are now singing a different tune.
