Point Blank DS for UK (News)

Jun 27, 2006

Tuesday 27 June 2007 Point Blank DS, the cartoony shooter for Nintendo's dual-screened handheld, has been picked up by publisher Atari for a UK release this winter.

Point Blank DS (Review)

Jun 19, 2006

If there's one genre that handheld game systems haven't been able to pull off, it's the light gun shooter. It doesn't really make sense - how do you pack in a life-size gun and still make it portable? Well, in the case of Point Blank DS, the gun becomes a stylus and, shockingly, everything works like magic.

Just a quick little blurb about Point Blank DS, the Nintendo DS conversion of Namco's quick-paced accuracy-based light gun shooter: the company informs IGN that the game ships to North American stores next week.

Point Blank DS essentially takes everything established in the arcade and PlayStation renditions and turns them touch-sensitive -- instead of using a handheld light gun to do the job, players instead blast away at the targets by tapping on them with the system stylus. Speed and accuracy are key in this game, and players will have to prove just how well they can handle their weapon in several dozen challenges in single and two player mode.

Psychedelic gun circus coming to DS (News)

Apr 3, 2006

If you've frequented a bowling alley, movie theater or Wal-Mart vestibule in the past few years, you've no doubt seen the carnival-shooter Point Blank. The gun game - as in, you actually hold a plastic gun and shoot things - throws all kinds of state fair minigames your way, like blasting ducks or acing chickens in a set time limit. Now it's coming to the Nintendo ...
