  • Review Break 'em All (DS)

    For those of you who would love to play Breakout again.

  • Review Monster House (DS)

    It's actually not that bad...

    Monster House, of course, is based on the movie that just got recently released. I must say that I'm quite surprised that the game isn't bad, for a movie tie-in game. The game is in the same style as Smash TV or Total Carnage, with great run and gun action, and a bird's eye view. I have not yet gotten a chance to see...

  • Review Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)

    It's so cute!

    To tell you the truth, I don't feel like Animal Crossing: Wild World is a video game. To me, it's more of a hangout.

Wild World takes you away from your dull and boring life, to an alternate world full of...
