Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy seeing a port to the DS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Ports on the DS, while perfectly acceptable, can only turn out well if the developers can make a smooth transition to the portable. There have been a few DS ports thus far, but with mixed results. Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy is the latest game that is being ported, this time from the PC. Hopefully Elektrogames, the company in charge of the game, will do their best to make sure the game is an enjoyable experience.

Star Wars: Battlefront III may be coming soon
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Wii owners have will soon be receiving a lot of Star Wars action. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Star Wars: Clone Wars both look like promising titles. However, very soon, it’s more than possible that we can hear an announcement about yet another Star Wars game, Star Wars: Battlefront III. The basis behind this theory comes from an Amazon listing that was taken down soon after it was spotted. According to IGN, two different and perhaps reliable sources have confirmed that the game is real and is not only going to launch on Wii, but Star Wars: Battlefront III will come to the DS as well.

Official DS version of 2007 best seller announced
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
July 8th 2008 – Rising Star Games is pleased to announce the launch of Cradle of Rome on Nintendo DS. One of the most successful casual games on the PC in 2007, the original AWEM-developed title makes its first appearance on Nintendo DS developed by cerasus.media from Berlin. Distinctly marrying the Match-3 puzzle mechanic with an enticing resource management system, Cradle of Rome offers players a satisfyingly addictive gameplay experience. Rising Star Games will be bringing the game to Europe, with the exception of Germany and Benelux, on October 10th 2008.
About the Game:
Welcome to the birth of the Roman Empire where players re-create the legendary city of old using a unique variation of the much-loved Match-3 puzzle mechanic. Players still swap two adjacent squares around to create a row of three or more, but instead of completing the board as quickly as possible, the goal is to gather as many resources as you can before the timer runs out. The more resources you gather, the faster you can build Rome. Start with a lowly saw mill and progress to gain access to historical monuments such as the Arch of Titus, the Temples of Venus and Saturn and eventually the mighty Coliseum.
A vast array of bonus tools adds even more incentive to continue the game for as long as possible. Unlocking these tools not only makes clearing the board easier, but also increases the opportunity to gather more resources, gold and treasure!
