  Wait... this is a game?

  I was VERY disappointed when I played for the first time. It turns out you can only do the interesting new stuff once a day in REAL LIFE! The story made very little sense, and I found myself screwing up my DS's internal ... Read Full Review

  Such an amazing game that it can't keep up with itself.

  By SevenSlain | Review Date: Jul 25, 2009 | DS

  Magician's Quest is an amazingly fun game once you get into it. It's only comparable to Animal Crossing in the sense that it's a life simulation game. However, the premise is unique enough to lure in new players and old ... Read Full Review
