GameSpy writes: "Nintendo had a firm grasp on the handheld market yet again in 2008, as the Nintendo DS remained a top seller throughout the year despite the worldwide economic downturn. It seem that even when times are tough, people are willing to pay to play.
It was a pretty good year for games on the dual-screen pocket powerhouse, even if there wasn't a blockbuster release from the house of N. Nintendo published a couple interesting first-party titles, but some of the biggest winners this year came from the likes of third-party leaders like Square Enix, who had no less than six games that we rated four stars or higher. The Nintendo DS may become the platform of choice for role-playing gamers, as there are multiple innovative new RPGs to play, as well as numerous remakes of classics."
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
The Nintendo Dual Screen, or Dos Screen as it’s known in Spanish speaking countries, was ambition personified.
LEGO DC Super Villains has an ingenious premise that could work wonders in a future LEGO Star Wars game, whenever it comes out.
They kinda did in the Lego Clone Wars game. One of the stages or two was devoted to young Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar and Aurra Sing. Shame they never did the other seasons in Lego form. I believe it only covered the first 3 and pilot turned movie.
