Feed your starving 3DS some DS greats you probably haven’t played
Nintendo’s in an awkward transitional pre-E3 mode right now, and early 3DS adopters have only a handful of good titles to choose from until things pick up. Zelda’s coming in June, and thank goodness the eShop is scheduled to launch this month. Blake’s dealing with the lull by playing awesome GBA games on his newly acquired AGS-101. For anyone whose new 3DS represents their only h...
Overcoming gaming anger
Playing Steel Diver has got me thinking about a problem that some gamers undoubtedly tackle at times: frustration or flat-out rage. My brothers and I can’t play Super Smash Bros. Brawl together without screaming at each other at some point. Being the older, more mature one, I generally try to keep my cool, but the unpleasant feeling (like a flame in the gut) inevitably comes, whether I let i...
What day is today? Today is Pokemon day!
Have you already bested the elite four? Did you already battle and win against the Champion? Running out of thing to do in Pokemon Black & White? Well luckily for you today brings the launch of the Pokemon Global Link! What does this add to your game of Pokemon you ask? Well I’m here to tell you!
At Least One DS Game is Enhanced by the 3DS’s Circle Pad
The 3DS’s circle pad actually works as an input for regular DS games. I’ve found that it’s bothersome to use it for games like Pokemon HeartGold, but it improves the control in Mario Kart DS. The circle pad is easily on my list of the top three best features of the Nintendo 3DS. Has anyone else discovered a DS game that plays better thanks to the circle pad?
Help me choose my wife’s next DS game
My wife doesn’t play many games ’ maybe 2-3 per year, if that. When she does, she prefers the DS. Here are some of the games she’s most enjoyed in recent years: Picross 3D Bejeweled Tetris/Dr. Mario Sudoku Phoenix Wright (although her interest in that waned) As you can see, she likes puzzle games. But she doesn’t like Professor Layton. I suspect she doesn’t care for story-d...

Sounds like a lot of you have been very enthusiastic about the 3DS, but we’re curious … {democracy:140}
History of Nintendo’s handhelds
Gamepro has a great piece up about Nintendo’s long history in the handheld market. Noticeably absent is the Game & Watch series, but everything else is there. I can remember paying a ridiculous amount at my local import shop to have a Game Boy Light imported from Japan, only for the Game Boy Color to release less then a year later. Go brush up on your handheld history in-between 3DS ...
Okamiden review: A pint-sized, simplified extra cute helping of Okami
When Okami debuted on the PS2, it garnered plenty of critical acclaim and eventually saw a version released for the Wii in 2008. Though it couldn’t quite rack up the impressive sales figures of a Zelda release (and actually holds a Guinness World Record as the “least commercially successful winner of a game of the year award”), reviews universally praised the gameplay, music and ...
What’s the biggest blip on your radar?
I gotta go Zelda: Skyward Sword, if only because it’s Zelda, it’s being overseen by Miyamoto, and it’s director by the same guy that did Minish Cap, the most underrated Zelda of all time. Either that or another upcoming Zelda: Ocarina 3D. What about you? What’s the biggest blip on your gaming radar?
The great Infendo Pokémon friend code giveaway!
Have you been finding yourself attempting to catch ’em all these last couple of days? Yeah, me too. I can’t stop in fact. As far as I am concerned, the only problem I have with the game so far is that I have yet to make any trades or partake a single Pokémon battles! This is where you come in, dear readers. In the comments jot down your digits for Pokémon Black/White so we can all ...
Review: Black & White represent Pokemon at its best

You really should take action right now, but”¦You have a chance to feature your Pokemon in that stage musical across the street, and you want to see how your Krokorok looks in a top hat.
