Final Fantasy IV to hit the Nintedo DS in July

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

When it comes to RPG titles, there are few that I enjoy more than the Final Fantasy series. My favorite game of all time still has to be Final Fantasy VII. While I don't see that title getting remade any time soon (and I wish it would!) we do have another remake on the way soon. Read The Full Story

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

We already know that we have one remake of a classic title set to hit the DS this summer, but Eidos has surprised us with a different remake. The classic arcade title Gauntlet should certainly spice up the hot months. Read The Full Story

DS Lite's featuring a bit of customized artwork is nothing new, however, political artwork is something that hasn't been seen quite as much. This DS is showing off the face of Obama, the artwork itself is rendered by a street artist named Shepard Fairey. Read The Full Story

We brought you the official news on the new mobile Guitar Hero title not too long ago, which looks pretty cool. However, there have been some questions as to whether or not it will work on the original Nintendo DS. Red Octane has spoken up with the official word. Read The Full Story

Grand Theft Auto IV coming to your Nintendo DS

James Allan Brady, Mar 31st 2008 Discuss [3]

According to this document that is supposedly from a game retailer the Rockstar Games’ upcoming All-Star is coming to a DS near you for some hardcore stylus action. I honestly have no idea what they are thinking bringing such a game to that handheld, but if Rockstar is at all involved in the port it should remain as epic as you remember the games.

As the name implies, you'll be able to take this game anywhere, as it is for the Nintendo DS. The main information we were missing was the price and street date.

New Force Unleashed DS info revealed

Chris Scott Barr, Mar 20th 2008 Discuss [1]

I've had my eye on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for some time (as any Star Wars fan would). However, I'll admit that I've really only had my eye on the information pertaining to the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii versions. Then again, there really hasn't been much information on the other versions, but today we have a bit of insight into the Nintendo DS version. Read The Full Story

Colorware now customizes the DS Lite

Abby McVay, Mar 19th 2008 Discuss [0]

Most have heard of Colorware but if you haven't they are known for allowing you to add a bit of custom coloring to your gadgets, everything from laptops to Blackberries have been done in the past. Now they are adding the DS Lite to the list. If you've never checked out their site you can go through and just click different colors and immediately see what your DS might look like. You can even hit the brainstorm button and it will give you different color configurations. Some of the combinations I've seen look way too cheesy, but the nice thing is that it isn't just slapping on a single color. Read The Full Story

Nine year old jacked for her PSP – this is not a joke

James Allan Brady, Mar 12th 2008 Discuss [4]

In what is quite possibly the funniest and most horrible thing I’ve heard all day a 9-year old girl was kicked by an older (16-18) year old boy only to have her PSP taking. It’s literally as easy as taking candy from a baby. Am I a horrible person for laughing at this story? Probably, but not near as horrible as the boy from Great Hollands, Bracknell who committed the act on Monday. Read The Full Story

Pirates of Crystal Chronicles are greeted with a very thankful screen

Chris Scott Barr, Mar 12th 2008 Discuss [1]

With the rise of high-speed internet came an increase in pirated goods. Anything from music to movies and video games are tossed up on the internet for all to download only a short time after (or sometimes before) they are released for purchase. After being out for only a very short while, a pirated ROM of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles appeared, and was downloaded by many. What makes this game different is that while the pirates are able to get ahold of it with ease, they are finding it rather difficult to actually keep playing it. Read The Full Story

Gamer proposes via a hacked DS

Chris Scott Barr, Mar 7th 2008 Discuss [0]

I've always wondered how I'd propose to the girl of my dreams. I'd like to think that I'd do it in some geeky fashion related to video games, because the girl of my dreams would be just as big of a geek as I am. Well one lucky gamer found himself a girl that loves her DS, and found a pretty geeky way to propose to her, via a hacked game of Bejeweled. Read The Full Story

Cool DS skins add a little color and texture

Chris Scott Barr, Feb 25th 2008 Discuss [1]

Every time I hear that Nintendo will be releasing a new color for the DS lite, I start to wonder how much I could get out of my boring white one. So far I haven't been tempted quite enough to follow through, but I am starting to get tired of staring at that white shell. I may very well look into one of these protectors which will add a bit of color. Read The Full Story
