Take a quick look at Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled and it might seem like a long-lost Super NES game, transported fifteen years into the future and ported to DS. However, that is not the case, as this DS original is not only a modern game, but is being developed by a Western studio, despite its somewhat Japanese-style aesthetic.
"Remember how awesome it was to get up early on Saturday to play Chrono Trigger for eight straight hours, and still want more?", writes Meteo Xavier.
Gamertell has posted its DS game recommendations for the 2009 holiday shopping season.
The list is divided by ESRB ratings.
TRB writes: "Old school role playing games seem to be the sure hit on the Nintendo DS. The simple gameplay is easy for portable gaming and the time to complete these games is either double or triple the length of modern games. Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled offers the style of gameplay that fans of the most praised game on the SNES will jump right into and find plenty to love."
