As the game industry press nodded off to the usual boring Nintendo conference, we all thought we were being returned to 1986. Mickey Mouse and vintage black and white comics were shown made into a side scroller. That 100 year old material was referred to as “fresh”. Then another Zelda came out and they said [...]

I take no pleasure in playing a bad game. There isn’t much joy in writing a review of them either. It’s all for you dear readers. I play bad games so you don’t have to. For some reason crappy games were plentiful this year. There were more than 9 to pick from. Here’s the list [...]

Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop is just as much fun as the first two games. You can practice, cook with Mama or compete. It has a new Shopping mode as well. There are mini games which are silly like the capering crustaceans that you have to catch. Though there isn’t enough content in the [...]

Fans of Bleach will enjoy this DS game. This is the third one that I have reviewed, each one has had a different format. This one is a turn based RPG so there is no button mashing. You select the activities of your characters from menus and wait it out while the animations go. It [...]

Like Kirby and other games that have you drawing on the DS it depends mainly on how much sensitivity is left in your touch pad, and how accurate the stylus is calibrated into the game. This one does it, but not great. It gets most of its score for creativity. The little guy you use [...]

The Clique is another movie that never should have become a game. The theme of this game is perhaps more morally reprehensible than Left For Dead 2 which is so violent that it is banned in Australia. The ethically sensitive Aussies missed this horror show.  The game is a psychological head case sure to screw [...]

It isn’t so Ultimate. The only thing it’s exceptional at is being average. When you have seen and played game collections on DS that have dozens of games on them, something like this has a long way to go to prove itself to deserve that grandiose name. There are only three games on the card. [...]

Flower, Sun, and Rain’s intriguing title isn’t for an ingenious Zen garden sim like it sounds, it’s the name of a hotel. Where presumably some crime has transpired. It was a mistake playing Flower, Sun, Rain right after GTA China Town Wars. I was expecting a quirky 3D mystery romp with blocky DS graphics. Instead [...]

My original DS was an import from Japan that I got in ’05. It’s the pretty pink pearl color. A couple weeks ago the hinges disintegrated. I’m the proverbial old lady that only drives her  DS on Sundays. I keep all my gadgets clean and happy. They get stored in their box or a case. [...]

At first seeing the drugs and language on my newly refurbed pink DS was somewhat of a shock. What they did with the game was even more surprising. Then it was a shock in a good way. Generally there are fun little timewasters and kiddie games on the DS that are relaxing and enjoyable. So [...]

Geek Woman Speaks

I'm your target market, your worst nightmare, a woman with a video game. I'm a late boomer, a first person feminist, I'm the MIlF that hates on Microsoft, and the cold calculating Cougar who enjoys a good snipe.
