We absolutely love Atlus and Atlus loves us right back. Maybe not absolutely, but hey… Sure, it's a long distance relationship and we don't talk all that much, but the gifts keep coming and they're always good ones, so we're hooked. Anyway, yes, it's another DS RPG extravaganza and yup, you'll get a free soundtrack with the game. Details below the jump. Go reserve a copy and make Atlus very happy…

By the way, the game's official website isn't quite up yet, despite the link in the press release. Fear not, dear reader… Atlus is on the case!

Review: Sonic Colors (DS)

Posted on by
1

Platform: Nintendo DS

Developer: Dimps/Sonic Team

Publisher: Sega

# of Players: 1-2

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

Official Site

Score: A-

The stellar Sonic revival continues with Sonic Colors on the DS which, like it’s big brother on the Wii just so happens to be one of the best games on the platform this year. While it takes a few of its its visual and gameplay cues from the great Sonic Rush series, the blend of classic fast-paced 2D side-scrolling (with some nifty 3D boss battles and other sections) and super-colorful visuals makes for an exciting chunk of portable goodness. Like any platformer worth its salt, there area few really pesky spots where a careless jump or accidental nudge on that D-pad will send you falling to a Sonic doom. On the other hand, the game is so much fun that you’ll go back again and again until you nail every level and find every secret. Continue reading →

Here’s a teaser for the brand-new Call of Duty: Black Ops Single Player trailer set to debut Monday night on ESPN during the Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Jets game. Activision continues to roll on with the solid lineup, that’s for sure…

Little "Dog" Lost at NYCC!

Well, maybe not exactly lost in the “missing” sense, as I recall reading that some canines are fatally allergic to peanut butter (note to Capcom: oops). Anyway, call that number if you see anything small, white and wolfy in your area. Or call it if you don’t – the short message you’ll hear is cute.

Oh yeah, Okamiden was playable on the show floor in trail version form and it’s spectacularly good…

My first thought (given the Capcom press page has this listed as a regular DS game) was: Wait…. these are Nintendo DS screens? Of course, you'd be a bit confused too, especially if you also saw those similarly eye-popping screens for the upcoming 3DS RE Mercenaries title. Then I realized that it's going to be one of those 3DS titles that you don't need the “3D” effect on to enjoy. Still, for a handheld with FAR lower resolution than any current TV or monitor, what's here is pretty amazing stuff. Go Capcom!

I'd never thought I'd ever say this, but EA has actually found a way to make the Dead Space universe look… cute. As in too darn cute beyond belief. Check it out and afterward, go try out the ridiculously fun demo for MySims SkyHeroes on Xbox Live Arcade while you're still smiling. MySims SkyHeroes launches (pun intended) on September 28 for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC and Nintendo DS. Demo info and more MSSH coolness below the jump.

Mastiff’s Deer Drive Shoots Onto Nintendo DS

A hunting game on the go? Yes, indeed says Mastiff. The publisher has brought a portable version of its popular Wii simulation, Deer Drive to the Nintendo DS and it's now available at retailers across North America for a mere $19.99. Given that the Wii version moved around 400,000 copies, I'd say DS owners might make this one as much of a hit, if not more of one. Box art above, screens below with a bit of game info from the press release. Loyal hunting dog, Elmer Fudd cap and orange safety vest not included.

The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest Gallery Update

PAX screens from all the versions of AQ after the jump – PS3/Wii/PSP and DS. Interestingly enough, Amazon still shows a PS2 version on their site with the same October 12 release date as the others, but we'll have to see if that one actually ships. I'm liking the cartoony visuals in the console versions – they're reminiscent of Torchlight a tiny bit, aren't they? based on available info, I'm gathering all the games will be pick up and play “casual” fun, but I find that sort of thing relaxing, believe it or not. We'll have to see how the Move controls stack up to the Wii version and if the portable games are as fun as a good chase 'n chop should be.

Natsume Announces Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals To Hit Retail Next Month

Ah, Lufia… I can remember both excellent SNES games like the back of my hand (did you know the first game was supposed to come out on the Sega Genesis as well?). Anyway, Natsume has announced that Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals for the Nintendo DS will be in stores on October 12, 2010. I absolutely LOVE the artwork, particularly the more realistic look of Maxim, Lufia and the rest of the gang in this installment. Hmmm… I'm getting those warmly nostalgic waves of JRPG-induced insomnia already! That's a good thing, by the way.

More info and screens are a click away…

Short and to the point, here's the complete set list for the upcoming Nintendo DS version of RB3, set to hit stores along with the console versions this October. While there are only 25 tracks, you'll get some great ones here for your virtual (and portable) band to play. Having missed out on the previous DS installments, I'm intrigued by how the experience will differ from the peripheral-centric PS3, 360 and Wii versions. Guess I'll find out soon enough…
