Kirby: Canvas Curse

DS Review

Plenty of DS titles, even original ones, barely make use of the hardware's unique features. This is not the case with Kirby Canvas Curse. The player uses the stylus to draw ramps onscreen. These ramps guide the now limbless puffball around expansive levels in search of power-ups and secret items, completely free of the D-pad or other conventional methods of input. You never directly control Kirby; he merely reacts to the paths you draw on the screen. Holy crap, this smells like ...

Kirby Squeak Squad

DS Review

As the one of the most adorable mainstays in Nintendos stable, Kirby generally appeals to younger gamers. But that doesnt mean the little pink marshmallow has nothing for seasoned gamers. Kirby: Canvas Curse was a fine game, showing the ingenuity of the DSs touch screen early on in the systems lifespan. Squeak Squad doesn't bring the same kind of innovation, and instead sees Kirby pitted against a team of rodent robbers hell bent on making off with all of Dream Lands treasures for a more ...

Kirby Super Star Ultra

DS Review

DS - Kirby Super Star Ultra - Kirby Super Star Ultra

How much do you love Kirby? If your response lies anywhere above "a little, I guess," then Super Star Ultra is a must buy, period. None of its 16 minigames would fair well alone, but as part of an all-Kirby-all-the-time package, they create a cutesy compilation too robust to miss. ...

Kokoro Ga Uruou Mirei Aquarium [import]

DS Review

Yes, there was probably a time when Nintendogs was a silly idea, rather than the bringer of world peace and cure for all humanitys ills it actually was. But the fact remains: Aquarium DS is very silly indeed. Its not that a game where you plonk aquatic creatures in a tank and watch them swim around to music from Teletext isnt fun. As “tankmaster” youre limited to throwing bits of crill in, scrubbing crap off the sides and doing underwater feng shui with plastic models of the ...

Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits

DS Review

Its impossible to deny that Konami Classics Series Arcade Hits is your standard arcade games compilation. Youve got 15 games here, mostly from the early 1980s, and maybe half of which we wouldnt actually consider hits. All are the exact versions straight from the original arcade – no added DS touch screen sensitivity, no graphical upgrades. The only real additions are the instructions that appear on the second screen (you can pick which one shows the game), some screen rotation and ...

Konductra

DS Review

With top-notch titles like Lumines, Gunpey, Every Extend Extra and Meteos, handhelds are becoming a puzzle lovers dream. Konductra shows similar promise, but unfortunately gets caught in its own mess. Konductras premise isnt entirely new - it's similar to Othello with a different motive, or Tetris played on a tray instead of in a column. The playfield is a horizontal grid, and every few seconds, you must place a Siamese pair of colored blocks somewhere on the grid. Black and white "conductor" ...

Kung Fu Panda

DS Review

What’s this? No sooner have we given Hulk a shoeing than another film-based game arrives. Kung Fu Panda seems to have escaped complete badness, probably in spite of itself. The premise is much the same as any of these recent Dreamworks animation fests: lazy talking beast overcomes obstacles to become reluctant but an ultimately charming hero. Here he’s a dumpy panda – and guess what he’s good at? The ...
