Last King of Africa

Left Brain Right Brain

Ambidexterity is a noble pursuit. Unfortunately, this hand-training exercise game doesn't live up to its potential.

Left Brain Right Brain 2

12/12/2008

If you think Brain Age is unscientific, then this collection of flawed to the core minigames intended to improve intelligence will leave you baffled and angry at wasted time and money.

Legacy of Ys: Books I & II

This game should’ve stayed in the past, as it has little reason to exist now, other than as a historical oddity.

The Legend of Kage 2

After more than 2 decades since the first game graced arcades, this cult favorite at last has a second chapter. Slice with your sword, toss ninja stars and super-jump literally hundreds of feet into trees and onto rooftops. Kage offers a satisfying ninja-fix, if you can handle the difficulty.

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

The forgotten gaming franchise attempts a comeback by giving its dragon hero a cinematic backstory.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

21/11/2008

In the culmination of the trilogy, players find Spyro teaming up with an unlikely ally - Cynder, his former enemy, to face his most challenging mission yet.

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

The DS doesn't do our dragon much good in this clunky platformer. Between big bugs and bad design, Spyro's seen better days.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

This Wind Waker sequel spells success on the high seas with a DS stylus. Goodbye end-of-the-world plot device and hello good times in (sorta) tough dungeons.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Another touch screen-focused adventure for the hero of Hyrule, this time based around riding trains. Seriously.

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.

LEGO Batman: The Videogame

The Dark Knight soars again in LEGO form, with Batarangs, LEGO-made gadgets and a chance to see the story from the villains' point of view.

LEGO Battles

Despite some dreadful path-finding annoyances, troublesome overlapping sprites, and easily conquered foes, LEGO Battles offers enough variety and value to be worth a look.

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?

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

6/06/2008

Indy hits the small screen in block form. It's fun in small doses, but not as consistently entertaining as LEGO Star Wars.

LEGO Rock Band

27/11/2009

Taking many ideas from Rock Band on the PSP, this music game makes a great transition to DS without any uncomfortable peripherals needed.

LEGO Star Wars

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

A textbook example of how to screw up a sure thing, the Nintendo DS version of Lego Star Wars is the 'must avoid' release of the year.

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

Building on the success of the first two LEGO Star Wars games, this is the first time players will be able to play through all six movies in one game... made of LEGO pieces.

Let's Pilates!

Let's Pilates! is a full-scale instructional game for the Nintendo DS that helps you take advantage of Pilates in your everyday routine.
