"At its heart, "Big Bang Mini" is a shooter, and, in a genre that's known for its difficulty, "Big Bang" can hang with the big boys. Each level in the game has ten stages, a boss, and an overall theme based on the location of the level. The point of each stage is to collect enough stars by shooting your enemies down to fill up your meter, once the meter is full the stage is over, and you get to take a shot at a bonus level. While that may sound cut and dry, there is one added element to contend with; a small orb that you have to, at all times, keep out of harms way.."
Hardcore Gamer: The DS may have an extensive library of diverse games, but Big Bang Mini (no, there's not a regular-sized Big Bang) has shone brightest to me years after is inception. Arkedo's colorful shooter is hearkens back to a simpler time where high scores were king and flash was warranted. I happily revisit this title frequently, and it's time others did as well.
The Dead Pixel Live podcast talks with Camille Guermonprez from Arkedo Studio about how he started, the philosophy behind creating an independent game dev company and more. On a path that features mobile games, DS, and XBLIG, he outlines the joys and the pitfalls that come with being a indie developer in the game industry. With a pedigree of critically acclaimed games behind them, he talks about whats next for the Paris based studio.
With the Nintendo 3DS coming out soon Paranerds.com wanted to show that the Nintendo DS offers something else for everyone. We all know that Nintendo DS offers games like New Super Mario Bros., Brain Age, Nintendogs, Metroid and Tetris, but what about the games you walked by and ignored that were in bins for half the price? What about games you wanted to try but were too afraid to do so. What else does the Nintendo DS offer? They told you what games to play for the Nintendo Wii that was third party, and now they are telling you to try these hidden gems for the Nintendo DS. These are games that are not other wise known or have been highly looked over, so no Metal Slug 7 and no Contra 4.
Paranerds.com presents the Top Ten Nintendo DS Hidden Gems.
Nice article! The DS is chock full of awesome game. I think it's scientifically impossible to play all of the good ones in a lifetime.
