Games: DS

New DS XL
After the DS, the DS Lite and the DSi, Nintendo will be launching the DS XL in spring 2010. Why XL? Because the two screens will increase in size from 3¼'' to 4''.

It might not seem very much, but it almost doubles the surface area of the screen. Some people have suggested it might lead to some new features, but there's no definite news yet. What is, sure, though, is that it will be available in three different colours: Dark Brown, Wine Red and Natural White.
We have no desire to tell gamers what they should be buying.  But if you really have no idea of what is currently going on, or quite simply what is popular on the DS at the moment and you absolutely HAVE TO give someone a game for Christmas, here’s a helping hand!

While we're looking at DS games, why not have a quick peek at this demo of Chrono Trigger:




Action
 
RPG


Puzzle / Aventure

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Chrono Trigger

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
Chinatown Wars is a little star on the DS.  Rockstar Leeds has produced a very well thought-out game that's as strong in terms of gameplay as it is technically.  In short, it's one not to miss. Chrono Trigger is thought of as one of the best role-playing games ever conceived.  What else is there to say?
If you like puzzles, then don't look any further than the second segment of this trilogy where Professor Layton is there to welcome you.
     


Strategy
 
Combat


Our Favourite
Disgaea DS

Bleach: Dark Souls

Kirby Super Star Ultra

This is a game that will reveal the master strategist inside all of us.  Disgaea DS makes excellent use of the two-screen setup on the DS. This title is a surefire winner for manga fans or anybody who likes fighting games..
Discover--or rediscover--the world or Kirby, a great game that you can keep on playing.
