Playing Super Metroid on my DSi #videogames (Taken with instagram)
Beat every level of Scribblenauts for DS using the same 2 items. This obviously got past the testers. You can easily cheat your way through the game with it’s own game mechanics.
I don’t really want the game anymore personally. I had my fun playing with a friend’s copy on the start menu creating objects and creatures; that gets old after maybe a half hour. On top of that I hear that the game controls awful, in some levels you have to fight against the game controls just to complete a task with items that should work.
It’s an ambitious game, but maybe too ambitious for it’s own good.
Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?
A forum discussion I started. Fun to keep-up with right now after the torrent of holiday game releases.

Nintendo DS best games list
With the Korg DS-10 synthesizer being released for the Nintendo DS, I am now really tempted to buy a DS. However I have never really been that impressed with the games before, so I’m going back to take a 2nd look at the best games and see if it’s really worth my money.

-The World Ends With You Perhaps the most interesting DS game.
-Geometry Wars: Galaxies A bit casual, but interesting.
-Lunar Knights This is the kind of game I’ve enjoyed on GameBoy.
-Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow I love the GameBoy Castlevania games.
-Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
-Metroid Prime Hunters Not a huge Metroid fan, but it looks good enough.
-Sonic Rush I’ve been a Sonic fan since the old 16bit days, and Sonic is at his best in 2D.
-Mario Kart DS everyone loves it, and could be fun multi-player with friends.
-Kirby Canvas Curse I’ve heard this is a good use of the DS touch screen.
-Super Mario 64 DS I never had an N64, and this is a good game.
Also my GameBoy games will still be playable.
That about does it. I just went through the DS games list and picked all the well rated interesting games. It’s about the same number of PSP games I own. Worth my money? Maybe…
Great now I’m really going to have to buy a DS.. Apparently the Korg DS-10 synthesizer (I posted about before) is set for international release starting in July. [via Wired]
Wow this makes me want a Nintendo DS. A full featured synthesizer program for the DS: Korg DS-10.
