The Top 7... Worst Parts of Best Games

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Nothing's perfect. Stare closely enough at anything - even a masterpiece - and you're bound to find flaws sooner or later. They might be small. They might be insignificant. They might not detract from the overall quality of the piece at all... Except when they really, really do. With these seven games, in fact, you don't need to stare. Their flaws are so huge, so obvious, so frustrating and so effing obnoxious that you can't help but ... » Read More

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Nobody likes to see a Game-Over screen. As if knowing you suck isn’t bad enough, some games rub it in by torturing you with really annoying Game-Over screens. What could be worse than having to watch your demise from multiple angles, or sitting through the same long-ass cutscene of the world ending every time you fail? Tack one of these onto a tough boss fight, and you have a perfect formula for gamer rage. We’ve hand-picked this ... » Read More

What's next for Nintendo's best?

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Each of Nintendo's franchises is weighed down with sequels that deliver a teaspoon of new content amidst gallons of familiar fan service. This pandering ensures the devoted legions happily slam down money for the latest re-imagining of Link, Pikachu, Fox or Samus despite the overall similarity to the previous game. You love it, we love it, but after seeing crowning achievements like Twilight Princess and Prime 3, we can't help but wonder "what ... » Read More

The 10 best Zelda songs EVER

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Videogame music has grown tremendously over the years. From humble bleeps and blorps that could have doubled as fart noises to sweeping soundtracks that fill two discs with ease, gamers have grown increasingly fond of the melodies chirping out of their TV. And there's perhaps no set of tunes more adored than those that ring throughout the many adventures of Link. Anyone who's even held a controller in the past 20 years should instantly recognize ... » Read More

Gamers rock out!

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

When aspiring musicians and the internetz collide, it often results in some of the most unholy power combos the universe has ever seen. We’d even go as far to say that most of these mighty Gods of Rock surpass real-world supergroups like Velvet Revolver and Damn Yankees. YouTube alone holds a treasure trove of musical gems, and these are some of our very most favoritest. And yes, we're including the hand farter. ... » Read More

Console Cameos

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Most of us play games to escape reality. For a few brief moments, the trials of the material world trickle away and your only concern is how many goddamn gold coins you can collect in an hour. Then, out of nowhere, a friggin' Xbox 360 console shows up in the actual game and all your suspended disbelief goes right out the window. And it happens more often than you'd think. So often, in fact, that we had little trouble in amassing a large ... » Read More

Looking back: The Legend of Zelda

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Sept 28, 2007 Nintendo currently owns four of the top 10 best-selling franchises in the video game world. Number one? Of course it's Mario, the bouncy platform king everyone knows. Nipping at his heels are 493 super-powered Pokemon. Charging right behind them, however, is one lone figure riding atop his tireless steed, sword held high in utter triumph and hard-nosed defiance against all other comers. So, even though Mario and Pokemon outrank Link by a wide margin, the latter's mindshare and ... » Read More

Time traveling with Link

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Mention Link today and most people will envisage the young wolf boy that inhabits Twilight Princess complete with his signature sword, shield and green tunic. And while theres no denying that this is certainly the best Link has ever looked, hes come along way since he first graced our consoles way back in 1986. Of course it comes as no surprise that Link has taken on a wealth of different looks over his years of adventuring and exploring. He began his adventures as a tiny sprite in The Legend ... » Read More

Pre-E3 blowout day five: Nintendo

DS Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

We can't wait Metroid Prime 3 There's so little known about any and every Wii title that we could easily just slap the entire console down as our most sought-after E3 experience. But if its games were laid bare for all to see, Metroid Prime 3 is where you'd find us. So far, all anyone's seen of Samus' latest bounty hunt is a brief trailer, where she... exits her ship on a desolate planet. Whee. But we don't really care which creature she's tracking down or what poison-spewing aliens are on ... » Read More
