Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood


Call me old-school, but I still find it strange when I see Sonic the Hedgehog pop up on Nintendo consoles for the simple reason that Sonic has been such an iconic Sega character since the Mega-Drive days that whenever I think of Sega, the lovable hedgehog is the one and only character that pops up in my head.

For me, it's kind of like seeing Super Mario pop up in an Xbox 360 game - yes, unthinkable...and weird!


Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood


Anyway, Sonic has already appeared in more than a few Nintendo titles over the years and the latest in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is titled Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for the DS hand-held console.

This role-playing game - Sonic's debut in the genre - follows the story of the speedy hedgehog and his mates who team up to defeat a menacing new enemy after the kidnapping of Knuckles the Echidna and the disappearance of the mystical Chaos Emeralds.


Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood


The 4-character team gameplay involves extensive use of the Nintendo DS stylus pen with characters being controlled by tapping the stylus in conjunction with the action buttons to manoeuvre around the exploration areas and perform special attacks etc. There are over 20 areas to explore including exciting environments such as Angel Island, the centre of Eggman's fortress city and through a wormhole into an alternate dimension, while solving puzzles and dodging obstacles simultaneously.

Gamers can also make use of DS Wi-Fi for online trading and collecting of Chao they have collected!

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is due out on September 25th, 2008. [sega.com]

Stadium Battle

Pokemon Battle Revolution is the new Pokemon title to hit the Nintendo Wii exclusively and it isn’t a surprise following the immense success of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on the DS. It seems that as the years go on and on, new generations still follow the Pokemon craze and the games are just as great. I still remember playing the original Pokemon Red in 1999 and damn it was a fine game with friends around.

Build a Theme Park on the DS!

April 5th 2007 13:37

Snake Ride

It has been 13 years since this game was released and boy am I happy to see it back in the gaming world and this time on the Nintendo DS! Never heard of this game before? Well this game really pushed sim games into the way we know it with players given the managerial role of opening, creating and running a theme park to the public.

Whenever someone mentions Squaresoft’s Final Fantasy, they think of epic role playing games in mystical worlds that span over 40 hours of gameplay. There is also another class of FF games which have sprung up over the years, and it revolves in mini-games such as tactics, and now Chocobo Tales which brings a FF card game onto the Nintendo DS. This game however does not follow those features I mentioned above, but is of a simpler, ‘fun nature which is aimed at the younger gaming audience who will find this game quite entertaining.

Looking at this title reminds me heavily of the poorly created Dragonball Z titles which came out a long time ago on the Mega Drive and SNES. Washed down graphics with too much emphasis on ‘super’ moves was a flaw I thought in the DBZ games and D3, the creator of the new Naruto Ninja Council 3, seems to have repeated this mistake…or from what I can see.

FF Crystal Chronicles DS looking sweet

December 27th 2006 09:04


Square Enix is porting the Final Fantasy title that was exclusive to the Gamecube, over to the Nintendo DS( and Wii) and it is coming out to be pretty good. This title is separate to the storyline found on the PS2, with a change in graphics, non-turn based RPG action and even multiplayer which is new to this title. It is set for release this December in Japan on the DS, and all signs point positively.

Bomberman Land Touch! on the DS rocks!

December 21st 2006 13:11


Bomberman fans rejoice… the great action puzzler returns on the Nintendo DS and this time supported with multiplayer functionality. For those who are not familiar with the series, Hudson released this nifty battle title on the Playstation in the 90s and continued with a variety of titles on handhelds and the recent consoles. Players have control of a Bomberman (so to say) who is set on a map filled with bricks and obstacles. Scattered around the map are opponents who must use weapons (including bombs) and power-ups to destroy their enemies. Simply said…but addictive and fun!

Another Brain game for the DS…

This title is selling like HOT CAKES in Japan at the moment and I cannot blame the DS gamers for that. If you ever played the Pokemon series on the Gameboy such as Pokemon Red or Blue (Gold, Silver, Ruby etc etc) you will know exactly what type of game I am referring to and why people are going nuts over this title. Nintendo’s Pokemon Diamond follows the same RPG elements that its predecessors had, but this time it is jam packed with more pokemon, side quests, moves and even WiFi play which is surly one of the greatest features of this game!
