Sometimes game developers make games that just don’t fit the bill. It would have been great to declare that Paint for DS lite would have been an amazing addition to the pool of games for DS lite, but somehow, we were not able to place this anywhere.

Totally, clueless as to whom the game targets — the kids? The teenagers? Adults? Surprisingly, It claims to be for teenagers and adults but I don’t think it will fit the bill there. Read the rest of this entry »

There are chances that you might have purchased a DS lite that wasn’t intended for use in your country? What? Did we hear you screaming? You don’t have to panic, but then, the statement still holds its ground.

Remember the BMW Convertible series? — The actual Automobile series. The thing about it was that the design was like love-it or hate-it types. Diary Girl developed by Konami is like that too — actually, it doesn’t even look like a game. Konami must have done a painstaking analysis on this one before launching the game. It would have thought of what a young girl probably in her teens would be thinking.

More Brain Training – a sequel to Brain Training would have been a major disappointment if it did not prove itself worthy of at least a try, simply because the original ‘Brain Training’ itself was a disaster and didn’t do well. The original came with a lot of problems and the interest would quickly wear off. The new title has turned the tables though. Read the rest of this entry »

We never seem to tire of these dudes and dudettes who never tire of living life? It is surprising that even after the release of a few movies, we still don’t let go. The gory looks, the gravel voiced roar of the zombies excites some of us. Perhaps it reminds us of our resident evil.
