That said, I have to also say that the Activision game for the Nintendo DS based upon the Transformers Animated cartoons is a real treat to play. It isn't wildly creative or original, it's just a well-developed Lost Vikings clone that keeps in mind its target audience: Transformers Animated fans. I just wish the “transforming” [...]
Certainly there are plenty gamers out there who could use some help in the kitchen. Disguising that help as a “game” is a pretty brilliant idea — as long as it's done well. What's Cooking? Jamie Oliver is half interactive cookbook and half food prep game, but neither portion is strong enough to make the [...]
There are plenty of homebrew synths and music sequencers available for the Nintendo DS, but the Korg DS-10 is the first commercial music app for the system. Modeled after Korg's classic MS-10 synth, this is a cool piece of software that musicians will have fun playing around with.

With two critically and commercially successful “band” games already competing in the market, one wonders why Konami felt it necessary to also throw its hat into the ring. Rock Revolution is ugly and the cover songs are terrible, resulting in an entirely unnecessary experience. While there is nothing really wrong with the touch screen gameplay, [...]
When we first heard that the team was working on Quantum of Solace for DS, we were a bit skeptical, as licensed products are commonly victim to short development cycles and a lack of overall effort, and while DS's first Bond offering isn't the blowout title we've come to expect from Activision's top Nintendo developer, [...]
High School Musical 3: Senior Year keeps the tradition alive. Like its film, the game is energetic and with a higher production value. Unlike the movie though, Griptonite Games made its product as original as possible, offering a totally different music game formula on the DS, for better or worse.

What Tantalus created for the DS version of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon strays in a completely new direction that offers loads of promise, but it's just too clumsy and awkward to fully recommend. Work out the kinks for next year's sequel and we'll talk, guys. Original post by Arts-and-Entertainment:Animation Articles from [...]
Back to the Barnyard: Slop Bucket Games is just another mediocre mini-game cash in riding solely on the power of its Nickelodeon TV show license. Only two of the ten included challenges offer up anything remotely new, and even less actually take advantage of the barnyard setting.

Robocalypse is here to help fill that gap in the DS library, and it does so admirably. Developer Vogster has crafted a clever RTS with loads of humor and personality. Living up to its name, players are in command of an army of robots defending the Earth against other, evil robots. Original post by Arts-and-Entertainment:Animation [...]
We said this the first time we played Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, and we'll say it again now. This game needs button control. The season mode is a great start for a new action RPG-like take on the WWE, there are new modes, added direct control for a sort of No Mercy feel (if we [...]
