DS - Lock's Quest - Lock's Quest - hands-on

Drawn to Life developer, 5th Cell has another promising DS title up its sleeve that’s worth keeping an eye on. Lock's Quest will place you in the role of Lock.

DS Preview | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
DS - LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures - LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures The decision to immortalise the wise-cracking hero in LEGO form is clear: the Indiana Jones films are almost as iconic as Star Wars, and their cheeky humour runs parallel with the tongue-in-cheek approach of the recent LEGO games. With the building blocks already in place from the Star Wars games, it hasn’t been too difficult for Traveller’s Tales to whip the engine into shape and recreate the original three films in a style fit for ...

DS Preview | The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Chronicles of Narnia books remain high on their pedestal of nostalgic childhood memories; the movies, perhaps a bit less so. Fans of either probably hanker for the ability to frolic through the Narnian fields equally, and so the games keep coming.In case you aren’t familiar with the story behind the second chapter known as Prince Caspian, or need a refresher, it begins one Earth year after the events from the first book/movie. ...

DS Preview | Major League Baseball 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars
DS - Major League Baseball 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars - MLB 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars Most of us didn’t realize that publisher 2K Sports actually put out an MLB 2K7 baseball game last season on the DS – and by the looks of it, 2K would like those who did know to forget that ever happened. This spring, they’ve scrapped any attempts at a hardball sim in favor of a kid-friendly, stylus-driven baseball game, rebranding the franchise as MLB 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars. We got our mitts on a preview copy and took a few ...

DS Preview | Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
DS - Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood - Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood - first look There’s a hint of madness to Bioware’s Sonic outing. Just how can an RPG - the most patient genre this side of Microsoft Hedge Simulator - capture the jittery, tarmac-shredding ways of Sega’s blue blur? Sonic’s the Sunny Delight of gaming mascots; RPGs are the stomping grounds for mugs of Bovril. The only grinding he’s heard of involves skateboarding, and XP is merely an emoticon for showing disgust. Spend time ...

DS Preview | The World Ends With You
DS - The World Ends With You - The World Ends With You - hands-on It’s not every day Square Enix produces a game that doesn’t end with “Fantasy” or “Hearts,” but channels the better parts of both series to create a game so bizarre, yet immensely playable. We expected as much, considering Tetsuya Nomura (the head brain behind the Kingdom Hearts series and Final Fantasy Versus XIII) directed and designed all the hipster characters for The World Ends With You - the latest ...

DS Preview | Mushroom Men
DS - Mushroom Men - Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi - first look By now, you’ve probably caught a glance at the eye-popping concept art for Mushroom Men, and you’re as anxious for a look at the actual game as we are. Thankfully, we got that look last week,  when we met with the developers in Austin, Texas, to see Mushroom Men in motion.As far as the setup goes, it seems a comet crashed to earth, brought a whole bunch of stuff to life, and plunged the once tiny and ignored world of fungus ...

DS Preview | Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys
DS - Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys - Teenage Zombies - hands-on Part game, part handy guide to surviving a Brain Thingies invasion, Teenage Zombies is a side-scrolling, puzzle-filled action platformer with a sense of humor. You swap between three zombies, each with their own special moves to get through the obstacle-filled levels and eat through an army of evil brains. Combat isn't very difficult (partly because the brains you kill can be consumed to regain health), but it's not really the focus of the ...
