The nightmare continues in Dementium II

Dementium characters are oozing with charisma.

Dementium characters are oozing with charisma.

Survival horror games for the Nintendo DS are rare because—let’s face it, scaring people is tough when your hardware isn’t powerful enough and the display is small. You need great graphics and sound to invoke terror, and the DS, while capable of such feats, is considered to be at a disadvantage. The last survival horror game that graced the handheld was back in 2007, when Dementium: The Ward came out. Incidentally, the next survival horror game is a sequel to Dementium. Welcome to the Bright Dawn Treatment Center, the setting for Dementium II.

If you’ve finished the original Dementium, then you should know that the nightmare isn’t over. Prepare for phase two of the operation.

The new Wii Dragon Ball stars Son Goku.

The new Wii Dragon Ball stars Son Goku.

There’s a good chance that Dragon Ball fans are getting tired of fighting games. After all, if you look at the franchise’s storied past, majority of its games in the past decade are mostly fighting games. When news of a new Dragon Ball game wasrecently released, we can’t help but feel a bit skeptical. Thankfully, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo for the Nintendo Wii is no fighting game. It’s a 2.5D adventure/platformer so there’s reason to be hopeful. Check out the series of colorful Japanese commercials right after the jump.
