I just LOVE WayForward’s games – they certainly know how to bring that old-school feeling to their projects and the results are pretty darn playable and a lot of fun overall. The Contra reboot on the DS was spectacular, Shantae back on the Game Boy Color was (and is) still one of the most highly desired games ever and now, Rayne is back in action thanks to the team.

One of the cooler portable games I’ve been keeping an eyeball on this year has finally made its way to retail. Majesco’s latest Nintendo DS game, Marker Man Adventures, developed by Glyphic Entertainment, is now in stores at a more than reasonable $19.99. Now don’t go confusing this up as some sort of quickie, slapped together Scribblenauts cash-in, folks. The game is a pretty nifty physics-based platformer/puzzle game, as you’ll see in the bit of the press release below the jump… Continue reading
