Reviews, Editorial, DS, Planet Puzzle League Jim Ness20 Aug 2007 02:29 pm

When I first noticed news bites and other bits of information about Planet Puzzle League I thought to myself Oh alright another puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. Then I started hearing some great reviews so I got really excited when GameFly finally got this game in the mail to me.

One thing I liked right away was there was a menu option to erase all the previous data. Instead of trying to grow an additional arm with five more fingers so that I could press and hold whole bunch of buttons while I turned on the Nintendo DS to get rid of previously saved data. The user only needs to find the menu option only a couple of layers in and all those old game files are gone. This is a much better solution to the problem then trying to hold down five buttons while turning on the Nintendo DS.

The game concept is pretty simple. The player needs to match at least three of a matching block type in order for them to disappear there by allowing you to rearrange other blocks in sets of three or more. Now most of you are probably thinking, OK another Tetris game. You are close but Planet Puzzle League is a little different. The lines of blocks come from the bottom and build their way up. The player can only slide the blocks sideways to make matching sets of three. As time progresses more lines of blocks work their way upwards. You need to match them up to keep the screen as clean as long as you can. There are different games types, one of them piles garbage non colored block types and you have to make matches to finally convert the garbage to useable block types.

The game does utilize Nintendo WiFi which makes playing multiplayer with friends across the world possible. This does add a great deal of replay value to the game. And the game has some daily play options

At the end of the day Planet Puzzle League is just another puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. If you have Puzzle Quest, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, or especially Tetris DS you may not really find Planet Puzzle League any more fun then the others. If you are looking to add a puzzle game or another puzzle game to your DS collection definitely give this game a look over I think you find that it is just as good as the rest.

Deals & Bargins, DS, Metroid Mark Dell20 Aug 2007 06:27 am

Today only Amazon.com are selling Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS at $12.99 reduced from $??.?? with free shipping if you add another $12.01 to your order.

Great fans of either Metroid or Pinball will get a kick out of this, turned out to be a heck of a lot more fun than I expected.

Deals & Bargins, DS, Web Browser Mark Dell17 Aug 2007 07:59 am

Today only Amazon.com are selling Nintendo DS Lite Browser for the Nintendo DS at $21.99 reduced from $29.99 with free shipping if you add another $3.01 to your order.

Not a bad little browser, but you have to be careful about what sites you visit, some sites have pages designed to be viewed over mobile devices, such as m.facebook.com or m.google.com, if you stick to these sites the browser will do you proud. Another thing worth mentioning, this will NOT fit inside a DS phat, lites only.

Today only Amazon.com are selling Pokemon Pearl for the Nintendo DS, at $19.99 reduced from $34.99, with free shipping if you add another $5.01 to your cart.

A great deal for one of my biggest DS time-wasters. Sadly the deal was so great looks like the stock has run out on this one, perhaps we’ll see more by the end of the day so keep your eyes open.

A highly addictive little puzzle game with loads of different modes, great multi-player and some daily play modes to keep you coming back. If you have any interest in puzzle games you’ll likely get a kick out of this one.

I don’t know too many details of FFF:CT for the DS, although it does seem to be mainly a collection of mini games + some card battling which can be played over Nintendo Wi-Fi. It seems to be mostly aimed at kids but is great for adults also.

DS, News, Nintendo Jim Ness30 Jul 2007 08:48 am

Sounds like Rare is finally back developing for a Nintendo platform. Kotaku is reporting that Viva Piñata is set to appear on the Nintendo DS platform. This crazy game about creating a garden of Piñatas sounds like a perfect match for the Nintendo DS and its many of the wacky other titles. Viva Piñata was a successful title on the Xbox 360 platform.

This then begs the question, why is a Microsoft owned studio developing games for a Nintendo platform? Since Microsoft currently lacks a hand held gaming platform, lending a little support to the Nintendo DS is the perfect move to help kick Sony when they are down. I know allot of gamers would be very happy to see both Microsoft and Nintendo adopt the old theory of “…the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Now if Microsoft and Nintendo could just get together and work out some sort of deal to produce Goldeneye on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the Virtual Console.
