Spore Creatures





From Electronic Arts


Save your species and the entire Galaxy in Spore Creatures. Guide and evolve your custom creature, starting as a simple creature and exploring your surroundings. Meet, befriend or fight other creatures in a number of unique Touch Screen based activities. As the story unfolds, evolve your creature's look and add to its abilities by collecting and adding parts in the Creature Creator. Eventually uncover the mystery of the Galaxy's troubles, and work to set things right. Share your creatures with other Spore Creatures players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. You can store over 30 of your favorite creatures that might appear as characters in your game. Unlock cheats and additional parts by earning over 50 badges during gameplay. Spore Creatures for the DS is a unique game, custom-made for the Nintendo DS platform to take full advantage of the popular stylus and Touch Screen features.

Spore Creatures is a sub-par game, with an awesome creation mode. The game itself is extremely repetitive and derivative in almost every way. This game is like when a popular movie comes out and they have a trashy tie-in game. This is the first time I have seen a trashy tie-in game for another game.

New Super Mario Bros





From Nintendo


New Super Mario Bros. for the DS lets you play an updated version of the classic Super Mario Bros. world, with all-new moves taken from other hit Mario games. When Mario and Princess Peach are taking a walk, a bolt of lightning hits Mushroom Castle. Mario goes off to investigate, but he returns Bowser has kidnapped Peach! He'll track down Bowser on the classic, original Super Mario Bros. map with all the moves he's picked up in the other games. Throw turtle shells, butt-stomp to crack open floors -- you can even use the tanooki suit from Super Mario Bros. 3. Use the DS dual screen to see where you are on a map & play fun minigames. Also includes a two-player mode where Mario and Luigi race and compete for coins.

This is a terrific game. I have always loved playing Mario Bros. since the first Nintendo came out in the 80's. My kids grew up on Mario and now I have the Nintendo lite and I love it and play Mario now with my grandkids. I do wish they would resurect the original Mario Bros. for use with the Nintendo lite.
