Where To Buy DSL Nerf Armor Black/Red


I have a five-year old and a seven-year old who have DS's. I always made them sit quietly when they were playing so I didn't have to replace a dropped DS. With the Nerf case, I don't worry - it attaches to the game and stays on when they are playing. This is an excellent product.Get more detail about DSL Nerf Armor Black/Red.

Order Where's Waldo?


This game does not work well at all on a D.S. Not the way they have designed this game anyway. Remember when you'd open a Waldo book and there was two big pages of a land drawn out with all this goofy stuff happening... well, how do you put such a big picture layout on such a small screen? By doing it section by section :(

You have to find Waldo, Wizard and Wendy, then find a bunch of other things on the map. The only thing is, there is no challenge to any of it, as once you have found what you are looking for in your tiny little area, the screen/camera automatically pans to the next area to find the next item in i minute space. There is no challenge when you find something the camera just goes to the next one and there it is, right in your face. If you where to scroll the WHOLE map then it might be harder, but to zoom straight to the next part, it makes it too easy. I suppose for those under 8 years old, it might seem fun, to anyone older, it's a bore.

There is a couple of other things to do too, Wenda icons allow you to figure out on the map where she took a photo from by matching her photo with the area of the map... Whoof does a spot the difference, and Odlow annoys you with his dumb inclusion to maps with yellow and black bed socks.

Overall, it didn't take more then 24 hours to complete... you could probably do it in an hour if you tried hard enough, not to mention, be bothered doing it. Once the game is done, there is nothing to keep you coming back. The only decent part in the whole game is the spot the differences, but i'd recommended "Foto Frenzy" over it any day.

Save your money, if you must have this game, look into roms. It's not worth more then 2 bucks at most.Get more detail about Where's Waldo?.

Buy Nostalgia


This is a classic style RPG, but it should not be compared to other RPG's when rating it (the game was designed how it was on purpose and not to try to beat out other RPG's). Describing the story would be boring so I will just give a review based on the IGN rating system.

Presentation: 5/5
The case looks standard and does not give any false implications that the game is amazing without earning it. As the back of the case states, the game takes place in an alternate 19th century time period, and it mixes mythology into real and fake locations. ESRB rates the game at everyone 10+ so there is no blood or inappropriate language. The game manual has all necessary information and even tells what character stats mean (not mentioned in the game) and is in English and French. The in game menu features an "Adventuer's Notebook" which stores some random game data as well as completion percentages for aspects of the game. Also on the menu is the option to Save game on 2 slots or Quick save and quit.

Graphics: 5/5
It is made for the DS (so expect DS graphics...) and features "3D" graphics, there is nothing to complain about. There are no skips in FPS rates, no bugs I have found. Really if they spent all their time on graphics then the gameplay would be garbage like is done with most games.

Sound: 5/5
Once again it is a DS RPG so you can't expect what is found on other systems. The sound is fine and upbeat, and the only complaint that people might find is that the music does not change when revisiting areas, but that is common in a supermajority of games.

Gameplay: 5/5
The controls arent complicated at all. Grinding (leveling in one spot for a long time) is not necessary for most of the game but helps for some bosses and does not usually take very long. There is usually a save point right before the bosses so you have plenty of health and infinite do-overs. Save often though because some bosses are unexpected. Some people think that the ship battles are too hard but they are not. Most leveling in the game wont be done during air battles and at a certain point you can just instantly flee from the battles anyway. The story is awesome, fairly self-explanatory, and pretty original. It's hard to rate originality when games share a lot of the same characteristics, so don't expect it to blow your mind.

Lasting Appeal: 3.5/5
How long you stay with the game is dependant on a lot of factors but it has plenty of appeal. There are side quests to do, and optional bosses to fight even after the main game is over. The low score is because of lack of replay value, which doesn't matter to some people anyway on an RPG like this, simply get the most out of it that you can on the first playthrough.

Overall: 9.5-10/10
Just keep in mind that the game was made how it is intentionally. I'm not sure but I would say that the developers spent plenty of time on it and it shouldn't be missed just because it is not well known.Get more detail about Nostalgia.

Cheap Garfield Nightmare


It's a really fun game with good graphics and levels, but in the end, there isnt anything to do. All you can do is open up a new folder and start over. But that itself isn't too bad. I would normally rate it five stars, but I like really hard games so I would say that if you like games that are easy but then challenging, this is the game for you.Get more detail about Garfield Nightmare.

Cheapest Avalon Code


The only negative thing I have to say about this game thus far is that the maps are like of each individual room and there's no real collective map to show you where you are relative to another area, and I'm bad with directions to begin with, but other than that it's a very interesting, entertaining game.Get more detail about Avalon Code.
