Summer of DS: Review-a-Day

Hello fellow TA Gamers!

Since it's summertime, the game industry has crawled to a slow, as usual, in churning out game titles (the reason for this is due to the fall season when we'll be seeing 2 new consoles released, not to mention the holiday season). Due to this, I'd like to present you all with a gift of sorts.

I present to you, my DS collection:

One game is currently being played by a close friend - Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - therefore I won't get my hands on it till I'm done with this batch of games (no worries... I'll be reviewing the title as well).

I plan to review EVERY ONE of my DS games on a day-by-day basis!

The end of the reviews will coincide with the arrival of two import titles which (YUP, you guessed it!) I'll be reviewing for you, as well.

Some of you might find this useful while others, simply informative.

SO! What to do first, huh? Well... I'm leaving that in your hands. I've set up a poll for you all to vote on. The game with the most votes will be the first reviewed, marking the beginning of the 17 days of the Summer of DS. The first person to respond with a reply to a review can choose the next game!

Finally, I'd like everyone that owns one of the titles I'll be reviewing to add a little something to the review, themselves (via PM). I'll post it in my review and be sure to comment.

There you have it, gamers. Eager to post reviews WITH pics and maybe even a video (if I can get a damn new video camera).

Utilizing the touch screen and the microphone hardware extensively, Nintendogs allows you to adopt a puppy (at first - later on you can basically purchase around 20 different breeds) and raise it. You teach it tricks, take care of it, take it for walks, play with it and compete in dog shows. That's not to mention the interaction you get with the neighborhood dogs. Using "Bark Mode", the DS picks up signals from other players in the area who are playing Nintendogs. If you both sync, your puppies can play together and whatnot. Through contests and the sale of items you find around town, you make money with which you can purchase food, grooming items, toys, new puppies and even a new home.

The best part about this game? They stay puppies forever! Never grow up so they're always at their cutest.

Srsly, Yan, do you honestly LIKE nintendogs ?
That game features cool technology, but the actual "gameplay" is so horrible... I mean come on, I can play almost all games even if they seem childish like pokémon or something (which rocks )...

But nintedogs is like a game for toddlers, lol. My brother ordered the game, he's 10yo and after 1 month he already got tired of it. I myself don't like it too...

The rest of your collection seems wicked though

i have given up with nintendo handhelds and will not buy a DS

in the past 15 years i have purchased

- original gameboy
- gameboy color
- gameboy advance
- gameboy advance (clam shaped one, silver)

why should i waste my money on another gameboy when it will only play incremental games?

what the gameboy DS CANNOT DO (correct me if im wrong yan):

- memory stick (to watch stuff dl'd via bittorrent)
- watch .avi .mpg movies
- tv support
- library of movies ( yes i actually have bought a few UMD movies)
- play mp3s

sorry yan, but i'm a nintendo DS hater... myabe if FF6 gets released for it (what i hear) i will finally pick one up..
