Wanna go to Ninjatown?

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

SouthPeak games is ready to launch Ninjatown for the Nintendo DS in fall 2008. On one side of Ninjatown there is a towering active volcano, Mount Feroshi, and on the other side there is a dark mysterious forest, which houses several evils. This town will give you a feeling of any small town with small parks, houses and stores. Ninjas live peacefully and go about their daily activities such as napping and constant training to sharpen their martial art moves.

The goal of this strategic game is to build a number of different ninja units to keep the enemies at bay and stop them proceeding through the base. Before the enemies appear players should have a number of ninja units ready to combat the enemy before they exit the base. Each time the enemy is defeated the player wins cookies or currency which will be further used to build up and upgrade other ninjas. So the more enemies that are defeated, the more cookies are won. The overall strategy of the game is enhanced as the level progresses.

Some of the Ninjas are Wee Ninja, White Ninja, Anti Ninja, Master Ninja, Baby Ninja, wee Devil, Mr. Demon etc. Ninjas in Ninjatown are very cute looking characters that will certainly keep players amused.

Dragon Quest IV on the DS

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, is a terrific role-playing game that would make an excellent addition to your Nintendo DS games library. It is one of the most popular Square Enix’s franchise all set to be released for the DS screens. This RPG is split into five chapters of short stories which introduce new heroes and heroines as the story unfolds. Unlike other role playing games, this game will need a little bit of level grinding before you move between different locations.

Before beginning the adventure, players have to choose a male or a female character to play in the game. In the first story we meet Ragnar, an army captain in a palace, who has the responsibility of tracking down the missing children. In the next chapter we meet Princess Alena - a tomboy who refuses to stay within the castle. As the story progresses, Torneko, Maya and Meena will also be introduced. Each time a new storyline begins, players not only have to start over again where you will partly begin at level one but also need to work your way up through the storyline.

To upgrade your weapons in the game players have to save coins by saving the game and not letting your party get wiped out. Incredible straightforward fighting without any touch screen controls is another advantage of this bright and colorful game.

DS Opera Browser

Monday, April 2nd, 2007



This is simply awesome! Watch the video above to see the DS Opera Browser in action. Not only does Nintendo come out with a killer portable gaming system, they let you use it to surf the web as well. I’m not sure what I’m waiting for…I still haven’t got a DS Lite, but with features like this I doubt I’ll be waiting long.

Nintend DS Lite Opera Browser Real World Test

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006



Here’s another excellent review of the Opera Browser for the DS Lite by Joshua. His version is the Japanese version, so I’m guessing the English version hasn’t been released yet. He gives a good demo of what some web sites look like and their load times…and other cool stuff.
