Beat City Right now

American gamers do not have many ds rhythm games. When people think of ds games they usually think of Guitar hero, Rhythm Heaven, or Elite Beat Agents. After playing through these games you can hardly find a good music based game. How in the world will you get your musical beat playtime back? Two words: Beat City.

Story: Beat City, unlike Rhythm Heaven, has a story. Beat City is about the hero Synchronizer, his pal Groove Whale, and his love Beatrice. These characters battle against the evil cacophony organization to try to bring back the beat to Beat City. To bring back the beat you play musical games that are wacky and fun.

Presentation: Beat city is presented very well. From the cartoony graphics to the fact that as you do good in a mini-game the level look changes the game looks very good. The menu is a little bland but it makes up for it with everything else. The game suffers from common load times though.

Gameplay: In Beat City there are three modes: Beat Revolution, Mini Games, and Tutorial. Beat Revolution is literally the story mode. In B.R. you play through "days" on a "calender". There are 18 "days" to play through. Each day contains a few music games. In Mini Games you can just pick up and play any of the 20 music games you have unlocked. You start out with quite a few mini-games, so don't be afraid to jump into the game in this mode. Tutorial is exactly what it says it is.
Music games in this game only last generally a few minutes. The only controls you need to know are the tap, flick, and hold. These are the same controls as rhythm heaven. In each music game you tap, flick, or hold to the beat, depending on music and onscreen queues.

Music: Music in a rhythm/music game always matters. I am happy to say that Beat City has great "bit style" music. You might just find yourself bouncing/ headbanging to the music quite a lot.

Replayability: Beat City has quite a bit of replayability. By getting an 80% or over on a song you unlock an item in the Beat Album. The B.A. gives nice backstory on a lot *22* of the games objects. 20 of the items in the B.A. are unlocked from % and the other 2 are unlocked from the story mode. This isn't the only reason to keep playing Beat City though, Almost all of the music games are fun and you might just want to go back in B.R. and improve your scores to see what happens when you get Groove Whale back to space.

Conclusion: For only $20 bucks Beat City is a steal. Everything in the game is fun and enjoyable. I suspect this to be one of the years most overlooked game. If you want to play a demo of Beat City head on over to [...]

Low Price Myst

The game itself is great, it has a mysterious almost spooky atmosphere to it and the ending is truly not what you expect it to be. However, I feel that they could've spent some more time fine-tuning the controls. The magnifying glass was hard to handle and moving switches was also quite difficult on the DS's small screen. I'm also disappointed that this version is simply Myst Masterpiece Edition on the DS rather than realMyst (which is where the bonus age came from).

I would say not to get this except considering how the PC version is for a very old OS, and even the Masterpiece Edition and realMyst are for Windows 98, you might not have much of a choice. I would say pick this version if you have no other option available to you but definitely get the game.Get more detail about Myst.

Save Air Traffic Chaos

I bought this game while in paris. read about it on some game web page. this game is fun as crap. for $10, i'd buy several. what makes this game fun is that it tests your memory on the normal and pro modes. it's like keeping the balls in the air and knowing when to put them in a slot while taking on a new ball. it's gets nerve racking at times. the fun parts are when you just know you screwed up but somehow you have one plane taking off while another is landing just a few hundred yards behind it. yeah, pull that one off in real life. it's stuff like that that makes you clench your fist and say, "yeah, baby!" as the ATC, you only have to survive for like a 3 - 4 hour shift. on pro mode, it gets hard!

this game does support the rumble pack if you have one.

buy one for a friend. it's as addictive as brain age, but one third the cost.Get more detail about Air Traffic Chaos.

Discount Burger Island

I have no idea why I love this game so much. Probably for the same reason I loved waitressing on a Friday night. Absolute chaos, but in my mind I had everything under control. I knew exactly what I needed to do and planned the shortest route to get everything accomplished. I find that rewarding. This is a brain game. You get into a groove, a train of thought, like a machine. Not everyone could do this game.

You have 10 recipes of burgers, each with different toppings placed on them in a specific order. You have to put the patties on the grill, then put the cooked patties on the buns and then correct toppings on each burger. So, you have to memorize each recipe and time-manage cooking the burgers, fixing them up and getting them to the impatient customers.

By the end levels you have to multi-task plus plan way ahead so you can cut corners by placing one topping on two burgers, but you have to be in the correct place for topping, one burger may have tomato as the last ingredient, another may have it as a middle ingredient. And you have less and less time to get more and more accommplished.

It's the same with fries and shakes.

As with all these games, it's a collossal waste of time. But I'm sure it staves off Alzheimers and for some reason, I find it SO FUN!Get more detail about Burger Island.
