First post! And, a search/destroy on DS games.

Hi there! This is my new blog. I plan to use it to talk about a lot of things. One of those things is video games. It won’t be strictly a video game blog, though, so watch out. Anyway. The DS is amazing and is getting a good batch of upcoming stuff. Here’s my SEARCH AND DESTROY (concept ripped off from a favourite messageboard):

SEARCH: Touch The Dead / May15
The previews say it’s pretty fun. I dunno how a shooter will work with the stylus, but it looks fun!

DESTROY: Marvel Card Trading Game / May22
Apparently even the playtesters are saying this game is shit. Avoid like plague. Not that you were planning on buying a card game (lol SNK v Capcom)

SEARCH: Naruto 3 / May22
I know some of you guys like Naruto, and this is apparently fan service + a fun side-scroller, what more could you want?

SEARCH: Etrian Odyssey / Q2 2007
Okay, I’m turning into an Atlus fanboy a bit… I don’t even really LIKE Atlus games, but I want to play them ALL. Fans of the old-school first-person RPGs should find something to dig here, cool use of two screens.

DESTROY: Nintendo DS Browser / June4
Apparently buggy. And if you don’t have a laptop or a cell phone already, you don’t deserve to check your e-mail while you’re at Second Cup, you berk. Just kidding, this one’s a “search” for sure. Because cell phone internet costs money and laptops are bigger than DSs.

SEARCH: Super Collapse 3 / June4
I don’t know how many of the features have translated from the original program for Mac OS X and Windows, but this one is fun. I liked it more than I like Puzzle Quest. But I don’t like Puzzle Quest. At all. And I was a HUGE Warlords fan when I had my Amiga, and I LOVE good puzzle games… but fucking puzzle quest… ugh. Butt ugly and boring and the AI is a buttplug. SC3 will be sweet though and give you your new puzzle game fix.

SEARCH: New York Times Crosswords / Q2 2007
The best crosswords on your DS. Apparently there are 1000 of them. So, more than you’ll ever finish. AWESOME.

SEARCH: Heroes of Mana / Summer 2007
Hmm. All the “Mana” games since the fan-translated SD3 have been shit, but this one looks cool. It’s a strategy game.

SEARCH: Hoshigami Remix / Summer 2007
Probably more of a destroy, but I am a sucker for tactical RPGs. And Atlus. And things with “remix” in the title.

SEARCH: Phoenix Wright 3 / Sept
Here it comes, it’s in the trees

SEARCH: Dragon Quest IX / Sometime 2007
This is a destroy for me but i’m sure someone will enjoy it. Fuck old school RPGs (unless they’re by Atlus).

SEARCH: Phantom Hourglass / Sometime 2007
Zelda. DS. Why am I saying ANYTHING?

SEARCH: Warlords DS / Sometime 2007
Remake of Warlords 2, the best warlords game ever. Turn-based strategy in the vein of Heroes of Might and Magic but way, way better IMO.

SEARCH: Lost / Sometime 2007
lol guyz their in pergatori
