Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks

27/10/2009

What do the following have in common? Echo Echo, Goop, Brainstorm, ChromaStone, Big Chill, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey, Swampfire, Jet Ray, and Cannonbolt. No, they're not all terrible band names - they're the 10 alien personalities you'll get to take control of as Ben 10 in this brand-new adventure.

Bomberman Blitz

6/11/2009

Do battle in 10 different locations with up to eight players either online or off in this downloadable DSiWare title.

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

Based on the incredibly long running Japanese action show, this game follows the adventures of the series' most recent US import.

Go! Go! Cosmo Cops!

28/08/2009

This won’t keep you busy for long, but those few hours will at least be entertaining.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack

Playing like the arcade beat 'em ups of old, this new Turtles adventure plans to give the DS a karate chop.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

20/11/2009

This continues the LEGO-ized adventures of Indiana Jones, this time featuring scenes from Crystal Skull. Good?

Up

Pixar’s latest animated movie, about an old guy who floats his house away on loads of balloons, is reportedly excellent, but as we have played the actual game, we feel more confident in offering an opinion on that. And our opinion is this: it’s kind of lousy.

Shorts

Based on the same-titled upcoming movie (written and directed by Robert Rodriguez), Shorts is a platformer with puzzle elements that features a magical rainbow rock that grants wishes and brings chaos to the suburbs.

Marvel Super Hero Squad

23/10/2009

Play as your favorite Marvel heroes, only small and kiddie-looking. Dr. Doom has never looked this adorable.

SpongeBob's Truth or Square

Relive SpongeBob's happy moments from the show, such as when he becomes a fry cook, gets into the Salty Spittoon or meets Sandy for the first time. Equipped with special morphing abilities, players can transform SpongeBob into bizarre objects, such as the Spatula Slam, Propeller Spin and Sledgehammer Smash.

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter

30/10/2009

The D.I.Y. side-scroller is back, as you draw on the touch screen many times to make your way through the game. Despite the somewhat plain platforming, the creative fun outweighs it... most of the time.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

11/09/2009

While the prospect of battling giant biscuits and evil sandwiches could have led to some creative gameplay, we’re instead encumbered by a slow-paced actioner with a whiff of puzzling.

The Legendary Starfy

Following four Japanese releases, Starfy comes stateside in an adventure that starts slowly, but eventually packs enough goofy characters and scenarios to be a lively and engaging (though very easy) platformer.

Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again

A new entry in the Mario vs Donkey Kong series is DSiWare and allows you to make stages taking advantage of the system's camera.

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron

6/11/2009

For the first time ever in the Star Wars Battlefront series, players will be able to fight on multi-level battlefronts, on the ground and in space. Players can start the fight on foot, commandeer a vehicle to battle on the ground or dogfight in space, and land their craft and fight on capital starships.

The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun

20/11/2009

Secret Saturdays DS is what you would get if you distilled the best parts of several other games and slapped a coat of Cartoon Network on top.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes

9/10/2009

Taking place between the second and third prequels, this game is based on the similarly named animated series. Not only do you play as Jedis in the game, but also clone troopers.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Autobots/Decepticons

23/06/2009

While Revenge of the Fallen gives players fun combat and customizing options, many of its hooks rely on the player’s familiarity with the franchise. Its story, characters and events do nothing special, and only worsen the terrible checkpoints and boring levels.

Pyoro

3/04/2009

A spin-off from WarioWare, do your best to get Pyoro, the bird of the title, to eat as many Beans as he can in a quickly shrinking stage.
