This game series from Konami is known the world over for its highly realistic gameplay and incorporation of rational elements. The Pro Evolution Soccer 6 is the latest addition to this PES series. Infused with dramatic changes, upgraded graphics and a completely overhauled system this game is bound to impress you.

The most significant change is the massively upgraded and a smarter artificial intelligence system (AI). Players in the game move to open spaces rather cleverly when they do not have possession of the ball and even indicate where they would like the pass. The actual physical play in the Pro Evolution Soccer 6 DS game has been improved and players have to work to move the defender. The developmental team has refined the shooting system that allows the players more attempts at a snap shot. Many new moves have been incorporated like the capacity to maintain control of the ball even when going into a slide tackle. Due to refined and upgraded dribbling controls players will now be able to dribble backwards. The headers have been changed to allow more movement. Apart from the massive overhaul it features more balanced referees and includes a number of new national teams like Spain, Argentina, Sweden, Netherlands and Italy. The game features an International Challenge, the already popular Master League and random play. The dribbling is easier but shooting and passing depends on the player’s position i.e. don’t expect to score a goal if shot right after a sharp turn.

The inclusion of realistic elements combined with the smarter AI makes Pro Evolution Soccer 6 an extraordinary game that guarantees to enthral you completely.

This game was originally made for the Wii by Konami. It is rebuilt for the DS in a more satisfying, fun and significant manner. The Konami game comes with a design that is kid-friendly though bordering a little on the silly and bubbly nature.

Zero, at the onset of the game charges into a bus invented by Kai’s dad accidentally and sends it to the other universe. Bus has to be powered with special items such as Omega elebits by Kai in order to be brought back. Excitement is added to the game in the form of other universes where they find themselves in with each leap into time and space.

Each area visited by Zero and Kai are self sufficient with their own puzzles and maps. The unique adventure offered in each universe keeps the interest going and players can enjoy hours of solid gameplay. The game includes many puzzles, but they are much different and more engaging than brainteaser puzzles found in games like Big Brain Academy. The core of the game consists of Elebits, which are tiny beings that resemble rodents. In every world, you collect these creatures which are full of bubbling energy. As you go around tapping objects such as rocks and trees, these creatures fall on the ground and all you have to do is to tap them to gain their energy. Try to catch more number of elebits in a single scoop for maximum energy.

With this energy collected, you can now activate elevators and doors. You can also use abilities of the Omega elebits which include breathing fire, shattering boulders, shooting ice, uncovering holes that are hidden, attract metal spheres that are huge with the help of the magnets, etc. With quite an easy adventure setting, this game is especially exciting and entertaining for children on their favourite DS. And though originally intended for Wii consoles, the Nintendo DS adaptation has been a complete success.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is the latest game of the Castlevania series on the DS Lite. After the success of Symphony of the Night, Konami was unable to feature innovation in the succeeding releases. However, Order of Ecclesia is designed with the objective and intent to revive the fading series.

The wide-ranging boss battles and the streamlined level designs are among the most appealing features of the platform genre. The backgrounds and musical score are immensely successful in creating an apprehensive mood that is essential for a battle. Moreover, the versatile combat system is enough for providing a rewarding experience.

The gamers play with the ultimate goal of killing a parasitical vampire, but they do not have an access to the legendary whip. This is because in Castlevania - Order of Ecclesia you play as Shanoa, who is not included in the Belmont clan. As such, you have to depend on an alternative resource: power from the bodies of foes. You steal this magic in the form of glyphs that can be transformed into weapons like swords and lances. Additionally, there are also some powerful spells to assist you in the battle of defeating Dracula. So you can navigate through the walls, use your batlike skills and the glyph system to overpower the evil.

If you are disappointed with the previous Castlevania games, you must not miss the Order of Ecclesia, as it will perk up your interest in the amusing series again

If you are still untouched by the craze of playing music games, then Rock Revolution - a new game by Konami might surely revolutionise your position. Konami seems intent on bringing back the rock rhythm games to various consoles including your favourite DS Lite.

A player can create his own melodies by using the stylus to play the instruments while inputing his voice through the DS microphone. To give you the feel and approach a real rock singer, Rock Revolution allows you to play with the drums and guitars and sing out your heart to match the rhythm. It is actually like getting a complete rock package in a video game. Moreover, an image of a guitar will accompany you onscreen when you are playing the instrument. Using the stylus, you can move the guitar to the inner circle for the guitarist to play it. With the bass, you have to play any one out of the four strings that horizontally appear across the screen.

Like a real-life story of a rock star, the game will let you taste success after putting in some hardwork. Your rock band begins in the basement of a friend’s house and slowly proceeds to the main stage. You will follow a list of some great tracks like “Detroit Rock City” and “Spoonman” to move through different levels. If you are too lazy to actually play the songs, then you can enjoy them on the Rock Revolution Media Player.

A fine variety of songs and engrossing gameplay allows you to spend some time in testing your musical skills or rather letting you live a secret ambition.

We are not talking about actual baseball tactics or strategy, but rather a new game launched by 2K and Konami. You don’t need to be a baseball player to enjoy this action game called MLB Power Pros 2008. The game will feature two story-based game modes; namely, the Success and MLB Life Modes. The Success mode will allow the gamer to participate in the story-based career of some rising players in the Double-A Minor League system. Whereas, the MLB Life lets you play the role of a Major League Baseball Player, with a career of 20 years.

Clearly the approach of following individual players, and not entire teams, is already quite revolutionary for a baseball game. Indeed, practically all games based on team based sports, even ones not based on baseball like FIFA O9, typically have the gamer assuming the role of the entire team. But the game is not only different and exciting because of this feature alone. As players of MLB Power Pros 2008, you also get the chance to act as a general manager in the Season Mode, where you will probably love to control the destiny of your own franchise.

The game is meant for you if you ever dreamt of being a general manager of a baseball team, coordinating practice schedules and signing free agents. Even if being a baseball player is a part of your fantasies, the game will let you live this dream for a while. It offers a great option for any baseball fans looking for something different.
