Farewell To The DS, My Favourite System Of All

There’s a little dead pixel on the top of my DS Lite. It hangs out on the bottom of the screen, green and dull, stamping every game like an eye floater that just won’t go away.


Gaze Upon The Various Shapes Jake Will Take In The 3DS Adventure Time Game

Man, I didn’t realise today was going to be Tina-posting-about-Adventure Time day when I got into the office. If I knew I would have brought in a bunch of candy to eat ferociously while pretending I was eating citizens of the Candy Kingdom. (Cause why not? I don’t know why!)


See New Pokémon Black And White 2 Features In These Commercials

Here are a set of new commercials for Pokémon Black And White 2, the latest games in Nintendo’s popular monster-catching series. Seems like Nintendo is really playing up the new: understandable, considering they have the same names as the last two games, and considering they’re on a system that has been obsolete for almost two years.


You Might Finally Get To Use Your Game Boy During Take-Off

The Federal Aviation Administration has for years been the enemy of gamers, with its weird rules that electronic devices had to be shut down during take-off and landing, despite a complete lack of evidence they do anything of the sort.


Pokémon Black & White 2: Gameplay Trailer 2

Just over a week since we last got a good look at the game/s, Nintendo has released a second proper trailer for the upcoming Pokémon Black & White 2.


Pokémon Is Not Entirely Historically Accurate

Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition is no doubt one of the strangest crossovers we’ve ever seen. This is not only because it’s crossing a feudal Japanese war strategy game with Pokémon, but also because all the characters in Nobunaga’s Ambition are based on real people.

Not only does it mix a historically-inspired series with a monster-catching one, it also mixes a team-centric strategy game with a one-versus-one traditional RPG. And how does this odd combination work out? Pretty well, actually.


Nintendo DS: A Great Games Machine And A Passable Remote DSLR Contro

Nintendo’s DS is useful for many things, most of them game-centric. One thing I bet the designers never envisaged is that somebody would come up with a way to turn it into a DSLR remote control.


Sony’s Old Position On Touchscreen Gaming Is Incompatible With The PS Vita

It doesn’t feel like 2005 was all that long ago… until you remember that the first iPhone didn’t launch until 2007. In the many years since a former Sony executive could make an offhand remark about the Nintendo DS, touchscreens have taken over, and the tech is getting sharper every year. The future, it seems, can take anyone by surprise.


Mostly Dead Is Slightly Alive: Where Adventure Games Are Hiding

Double Fine’s record-breaking Kickstarter adventure has, over the past few days, rekindled the perennial discussion about the entire genre of adventure games. The classic adventure has had its death announced dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the past decade or so, with at least an equal number of rebuttals.
