Choo choo! All aboard the spirit train! The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is finally out and I’ve had the chance to play most of it for the past week. Most of you probably said “Uhhh…what?” when you heard the next Zelda would have a train in it. Others may have just done one huge facepalm. I’m here to show you what this game is all about and how it fairs to it’s not as identical twin, Phantom Hourglass. Continue reading to see the full impression/mini review. (this blog post does contain some minor spoilers from the first about 15 minutes of the game)

I was browsing Gamespot today and I came across a flash demo they were showing. I haven’t had the time to delve into it again after it froze 10 minutes in.
Asides from that, this is the real deal, this is Ace Attorney Investigations, the game! It *looks* like it could be a whole chapter, it begins with a murder scene, starts off with introductions then Edgeworth goes through the basics and you start investigating. Anyways, the link to the site is:

Be sure to check it out. This game comes out in February, so this should keep your hands tied for at least a half hour or so.
I will edit this post with my impressions soon! So keep an eye out for that.

Hey guys, this is DeltaBurnt and I’m posting my first discussion/fun blog! Reviews are nice but every now and then it’s time for a fun blog , don’t you agree? Anyways I noticed that lately alot of Wii/DS games (and some other games) are getting labeled as kid’s games even though they are loved by all ages and have tons of action. So this has got me wondering…what exactly makes people classify games as kid’s game?

When I saw this game, I thought it looked interesting. I had no idea it’d be released so soon. I’ve heard it being compared to FF, but I’ve personally never played it, so be prepared for a lot of comparisons to Golden Sun!

Hello again! DeltaBurnt here delivering my first of many expected DSiWare reviews. As you may know already DSiWare are applications you can download from the DSi Shop channel. These applications can have many different purposes, but most of the time these applications are games. DSiWare also can take advantage of the DSi’s new power and two cameras (unlike most retail games). Each DSiWare application costs either 200, 500, 800+, or no DSi points at all (100 points basically equals a dollar). Anyways in this blog post I will be reviewing Mighty Flip Champs!, one of the more recent games from WayForward. Continue reading to see the full review.

I’d never heard of Mini Ninjas until today, but it looked pretty cool. Plus, it’s new. Here are some first impressions of the game.

It’s been a while since I last wrote something on the blog, so here I go. I was interested in writing about some of the upcoming releases for the PSP. I know that this site is called DSDatabase, but I just had to inform some folks in case they had a PSP. I was quite interested in some of the releases for the next few weeks. I was quite interested in the release of Warriors Orochi 2, which also was released for XBox 360, Playstation 3, and Playstation 2. It was released last year in Japan for the PSP. However, sadly, the Warriors Orochi release for the United States, scheduled for release yesterday, August 28, came included with PSP Official firmware 5.55 OH NO! I can’t play this game now ! 
Looks like a lot of games are coming with this new firmware 5.55, including Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, which was released in Japan a few days back. The US version is scheduled for release on 9/01…And now, for more releases to come… Read the rest of this entry »

The long-awaited Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is here, released in the US. I’ve had my hands on it for a few days already, and I have to say, I’m impressed. There’s a nifty amount of puzzles to solve, and the storyline is just as good as Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
Layton 2 is the direct sequel to Curious Village. The storyline in a nutshell: Layton’s friend manages to get hold of a box, rumored to kill anyone who opens it. Layton’s friend is later found dead, leaving a train ticket behind. Layton and Luke take the train to find the secret of the box - and the killer.
I have yet to beat the game, but I’ve played it for a few hours now, and I’d thought I’d share my thoughts on it for my first blog post.

I’m not one to usually get addicted to flash games, but I have been playing this one for the last few hours. I suppose it could be my free schedule on the lazy days of summer or perhaps the sheer boredom of watching Lord of the Rings for the hundredth time, but it matters not, Multitask has captured my attention.
The game is rather simple in design. You are playing 4 mini games at once basically. All four of these games would have been simple otherwise. You use both hands, using the arrow keys, the WASD keys and the spacebar. I guess you could try to play it with one hand, but it is already challenging enough as it is. You could always ask your friends to help (though the creator seems to imply that it is cheating) but it defeats the purpose. The game makes you pay attention to four different games at once that are simple simple mini games. The end result is a fabulous flash game that makes you look all around your computer screen, scrambling to get your fingers in place while confusing you because of the similar controls. It is a great way to kill time.

What’s up everybody? I’m Benji, or benjaminlibl, and this is my first blog post for DSDatabase! Woooo. I will be blogging about the randomest of things, but today we shall start off with a games-related post!
Recently, I’ve been reminiscing about the older consoles I used to own. I’ve also been wondering, what makes a game fun? This is a very subjective topic, of course, but some of you out there might say that a fun game consists of the following:
- Good graphics
- Multiplayer mode
- Mini-games
- Storyline
And so on. Supposedly, these are the key elements to a fun game. However, this can’t be right. Before the NDS, there was the GBA. If you go back further, there is the GBC, and the classic Gameboy. Each console evolved into something bigger(metaphorically speaking), badder and..
Funner?
