Electroplankton (Nintendo DS)

Beautiful to look even though you can't really call it a game. However, some basic knowledge of music structure or musical ability is a must.

GameCube Controller Purple (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
I had difficulty experiencing the Nintendo 64 Controller as it has three holding points, and you don't exactly know where to position you're hands! Luckily enough, when I got my Nintendo Gamecube, I got used to the Nintendo Gamecube Controller quickly and impressively without hassle.

You'll find that most of the buttons on the Gamecube controller are easily recognizable. Most of which are as featured from the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 Controllers and even the Gamecube's Controller mimic's a bit from the Microsoft XBox Controller!

The only cry I get with the controller is that the joystick, has these circles on top, which are a bit rough and can make your thumb have a itch or two. But I've found out the more you use the controller ... Read More:

Game Boy Advance SP Tribal Limited Edition

from: Nintendo

September 24, 2004
I sold my GBA SP Classic NES edition to help pay for my Nintendo DS. I really like the DS but oh boy do I miss this beauty of a machine.

Let's get the moans out of the way, yes the GBA SP only had a front light and not a proper back light so the screen isn't as colourful as the DS. And yes, you had to pay extra for an adapter if you wanted to use headphones. But stuff that, this thing is amazing and I miss my old one!

So why was it so good? Well the design was spot one. I get finger burn and cramps from my DS light and my PSP when I try to play racing games, never got any pain from the GBA SP. Also this was the last portabl console to have the traditional Gameboy style layout of control buttons under the screen (instead of either side ... Read More:

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Players' Choice (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

November 05, 2004
I was at first, a little wary of this one, the cartoony graphics gave it a childish look, like it was meant mainly for young children, however, this grew on me, and although it takes a while, once you really get into it, its awesome!!! Think Ocarina of time, in the sense that it starts well but pretty slowly, takes a while to get into, and then its just awesome!

Super Mario Sunshine (Player's Choice GameCube)

from: Nintendo

October 10, 2003
I bought this game to play on the Wii after having played Super Mario Galaxy to the bone and getting all 121 stars, which were indeed difficult and stressful to get but not at all compared to Super Mario Sunshine.

The game seems rushed and not well-finished at all. Surely Mario does look much better than the precarious Super Mario 64 design but the game looks like a testing beta version of itself. The graphics aren't great, the music is... just there, and the gameplay ranges from funnily easy to insanely difficult. Plus the cameras are almost manual and only turn by themselves when you're in tight situations, usually making you die.

Okay, lots of people like difficult stuff - as I do - but the difficulty of Mario Sunshine is gratuitously difficult. ... Read More:

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (GBA)

from: Nintendo

November 10, 2006
"Well, just imagine you're lying there, and you wake up... and you're a Pokémon!"
"Hmm, sounds interesting..."
"And get this! The world is ending!"

That sums up how I think this game was pitched.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is an interesting game. Very enjoyable with many of our old favourites (I ended up Charmander, my very first starter when I forst played Pokémon Blue) and some newer ones scattered here and there (I got excited to see Absol later on in the game). However, while the gameplay is all neww and exciting, and it seems Pokémon live in a civilised society after all... it just seems that little bit, well, dark.

Basically, the world is being thrown into an apocalypse, something we don't learn until roughly the middle ... Read More:

Magical Starsign (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

February 09, 2007
I had never heard of this game until I read a few reviews across the web. Even after reading about the game and how good it was, I was still a little dubious. Well I needn't of been. A really good rpg with proper elements including turn-based battle, leveling up, buying new equipment in towns/villages, etc. The graphics are pretty good and the story line pretty good too. All in all this is a really good game that is well worth the £10 or so that it go's for. The game is set in space and you must travel to various planets (towns) to gather information, tackle side quests, buy new equipment etc. This feature works, and works well. Giving the game a good degree of originality.
One last thing, keep an eye on the time when your playing it! As its pretty hard to put down !!

Luigi's Mansion (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
This is one of the only games i have ever played through to the very end. It's true that for hard core gamers it probably wont take you too long to finish the game but its worth it for the journey!. There are lots of nice touches in this game e.g. the way Luigi whistles the theme tune! and the graphics are great(even when played on a Wii). The gameplay is simple enough once you get the hang of it and becomes a little harder against the 'portrait' ghosts where you have to think a bit more about when to attack. Make sure your controller will stand up to all the yellow C stick action as you suck those ghosts in!.
