Bowser’s Inside Story follows the same gameplay mechanics as the last two Mario & Luigi games on Nintendo DS –...

Get this: it’s been thirteen years since the first Mario Kart was released on the Super Nintendo. Thirteen years since racing games were changed forever by Nintendo’s masterpiece, which enshrined drifting and weaponry as staples of the genre. An extremely rich game, it had so much to offer: racing friends two player through a cup, facing off in a battle arena, or even shaving of the split seconds in time trials (as Donkey Kong Jr., naturally). Since those heady days of cultural leadership, Nintendo has seen fit to bless us with an update every generation. But that classic...

In a frantic battle to the chequered flag, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA.

The Mario Party franchise which has done so well for Nintendo on the N64, GameCube and Wii has made its way to the DS. In keeping with the DSs compactness, Nintendo has aptly opted to make the theme of the game being of restricted height. Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi and the crew have all been shrunk down by the maniacal Bowser. To rectify the situation, the gang has to make it home, grabbing the five crystal pieces that will get them back up to size as they go. Such is the glue that binds Mario Party DSs single player story mode together. As they...

Pokémon Platinum, in a nutshell, takes Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and runs like crazy with them. The game builds on what's offered in Diamond and Pearl, effectively making it a director's cut. The story revolves around renegade Pokémon, Giranta, which has turned up in its Origin Forme. Just because it's top of the pile, however, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of others to pop up and be captured, ranging from Dialga and Palkia, to the powerful trio of Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. Most exciting of all for dedicated Pokémon aficionados, however, will be Shaymin,...
