Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?
Posted on 8 June, 2006 | No CommentsThe unique user interface of the NintendoDS has opened-up the way for totally original and distinctive development.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Posted on 23 April, 2006 | No CommentsThe Point-and-Click genre has been in decline for many years now. Gone are the heady days of Lucas Arts’ The Secret Of Monkey Island, Day Of The Tentacle, Sam & Max and the much-fabled Myst. “In” are fast cars, angry rappers and theft – usually... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Posted on 3 April, 2006 | No CommentsWhenever the NintendoDS is mentioned, it is almost always coupled with another word; innovative. OK Nintendo, we get the picture, but the novelty has gone now: we are just interested in the games. Innovation is good, but just because a game does something that no... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Animal Crossing: Wild World
Posted on 31 March, 2006 | No CommentsThe tag-line “conceptual” is granted far too freely and habitually in this industry. “Original”, “innovative” and “intuitive” also find themselves being declared for at least nine-tenths of the industry’s produce. This could simply be the result of the videogames industry’s relative youth when compared... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Frogger: Helmet Chaos
Posted on 8 March, 2006 | No CommentsThe NintendoDS has already gained a name for being the home of highly innovative games such as Trauma Center: Under The Knife and Electroplankton.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer
Posted on 5 February, 2006 | No Comments2005 was a strange year for THQ. Despite starting strongly with the likes of Destroy All Humans!, Juiced and Tak 2: The Staff Of Dreams, recent months have seen the release of several mediocre THQ titles such Bratz: Rock Angelz and the excruciatingly bad Spongebob... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: DragonBall Z: Supersonic Warriors 2
Posted on 31 January, 2006 | No CommentsIf you are a ten year-old boy, you don’t want to see cartoons where people get along, take responsibility and act rationally.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Mario and Luigi: Superstars Saga
Posted on 28 January, 2006 | No CommentsNintendo’s newest addition to the NintendoDS’s line up is this sequel to Mario & Luigi: Superstars Saga on the Game Boy Advance, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. This is the first time that a full Mario RPG has been released on the NintendoDS; there... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour
Posted on 14 January, 2006 | No CommentsYu-Gi-Oh! is a strange game, many people herald it as the unofficial-sequel to Pokemon, or simply another one of those Trading Card Games made for kids. Other people insist it’s been going for ages and only now becoming popular and that it’s a true rival... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Bubble Bobble Revolution

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble
Posted on 4 January, 2006 | No CommentsThe NintendoDS has been described as many things; revolutionary, intuitive, clever but ugly as sin. Although the NintendoDS incorporates several brand new gaming features, some of which allowing totally original gaming experiences, it’s hardly a fine looking piece of kit. What it really needs is... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Scooby-Doo! Unmasked
Posted on 24 December, 2005 | No CommentsScooby-Doo! Unmasked has launched as part of THQ’s Christmas campaign and while the GameCube, PlayStation2 and Xbox versions are identical, the NintendoDS has received a game made entirely up from the ground to make use of the its’ hardware and the innovative features it... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: CastleVania: Dawn Of Sorrow
Posted on 12 December, 2005 | No CommentsThe CastleVania series is one of the longest running franchises in the videogames industry today.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Sonic Rush
Posted on 8 December, 2005 | No CommentsSonic Rush has finally graced us with its presence and appears determined to pull the 2D Sonic The Hedgehog titles of old screaming into the 21st Century. It’s been more than ten years since Sonic last made a 2D sprint onto a major console... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Mario KartDS
Posted on 3 December, 2005 | No CommentsThe Mario Kart series is one fundamentally for the traditionalist gamer. Well, at least it is now.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Spyro: Shadow Legacy
Posted on 28 November, 2005 | No CommentsSpyro: Shadow Legacy for the NintendoDS is the latest adventure from that loveable purple dragon, from the same team who brought you Crash Bandicoot Fusion on the Game Boy Advance. With either Spyro or Crash yet to make an appearance on the NintendoDS, it’s strange... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Zoo TycoonDS
Posted on 23 November, 2005 | 2 CommentsThe NintendoDS has opened the door for brand-new, ground-breaking gaming developments the like of which we’ve never seen before. Fact. However, the system has also created the possibility of minor refinement; countless variations on common gameplay that we are already experiencing. Surely, this can’t... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land
Posted on 20 November, 2005 | No CommentsVicarious Visions have a dubious reputation with many videogames press agencies. Often taking the role of handheld developer to Activision’s in-house home console brands, Vicarious Visions have made few home console projects; DOOM 3 and Crash Nitro Kart being the only two in recent... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Pac’N Roll
Posted on 11 November, 2005 | No CommentsContinuing from their success earlier this year with Pac-Pix, NAMCO have now built a stable of ideas around the unique nature of the NintendoDS.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Nintendogs: Labrador And Friends
Posted on 16 October, 2005 | No CommentsThis game has small renown for being a very difficult game to review, everyone who has a go generally, stops, splutters or flails around helplessly at one point of another. This is probably because this game isn’t just different, it’s unique. Yeah everyone compares it... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Kirby: Canvas Curse (US)
Posted on 20 September, 2005 | No CommentsIt’s that classic story; witch appears, witch turns world into giant painting, hero slaps witch, witch turns hero into little pink ball, witch legs it into portal and hero rolls in after. “What!?!” I hear you cry, “That’s never happened before!” Well my friends,... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Nanostray
Posted on 11 September, 2005 | No CommentsShoot-‘Em-Ups make the metaphorical meal of any consoles dish; you have your meat in the shape of the Platformers and Third-Person-Adventure games, then the veg of Puzzlers and those with a little RPG element to increase the flavour and the bread and butter is the ... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Puyo Pop Fever
Posted on 6 September, 2005 | No CommentsPuyo Pop has had a fairly lucrative career as a videogame franchise. Having begun under the guise of Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine on the Mega Drive and, once SEGA became solely a software publisher; Puyo Pop Fever has appeared on practically every format... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action!
Posted on 24 August, 2005 | No CommentsAnimaniacs started life in the early ‘90’s as a children’s programme intent on breaking the rules.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Space Invaders Revolution
Posted on 18 August, 2005 | No CommentsAnd now to an old friend of ours, one that has moved and evolved the gaming industry from when it was first conceived right through to the present day. Everyone involved in the games industry should have played, or at least seen, this title and... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Another Code: Two Memories
Posted on 9 August, 2005 | No CommentsWithin weeks of release it’s become apparent that Nintendo’s cherished “point-n’-click”-esque adventure has been bundled next to Sprung on the NintendoDS shelf at retailers. It seems that a title offering such creativity and imagination is deemed as little more than a “quirky Japanese game”... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Polarium
Posted on 7 August, 2005 | No CommentsWhen truly original concepts come around, very few people seem to see the full potential of what is available. This is very true with the NintendoDS – although the separate pieces of hardware aren’t original ideas in themselves, the concept of putting them together and...
