You pay the mortgage for every extension to your house. Everytime you pay off a mortgage, that crazy Nook extends your house further. All without your permission. What a cheeky little git.
It's not secret that the DS can be uncomfortable to hold while playing FPS titles, but you need to experiment until you find something comfortable. I personally like to sit with one leg raised so I can rest the console up against it while using my left hand to btoh hold the console straight and reach the buttons on the left side of the console. The right hand is obviously for the stylus. Anyway, it works well enough for me. Though after about an hour my hand can start to ache, but then you are recommended, regardless of what console you use, to take breaks from screens after every hour anyway.
It would be really depressing if a game that old was better than anything else for DS. X-Remnant
Why so? Most of the greatest gamers ever are over 10 years old. Games haven't progressively been getting better with each passing year. They never have, and never will. The greatest of games will crop up anywhere and anytime.
I would say I know more casual gamers than I do gamers in the UK. But then I can also say I know more people who play video games than those who don't.
Looks alright. Character models are clearly highly detailed, but the level design is pretty bland it must be said. Still it looks alright, and it is at least a step in the right direction for 3rd party support for the Wii. I'm still interested in how this game will turn out at least.
[QUOTE="Raiko101"]A lot of people do seem to want nothing more than a portable gamecube. Not really innovative or original in anyway. Personally i'd like them to do away with all the standard buttons (except shoulder buttons perhaps) and have touch screen only controls. Slap on two thumb straps and you'll immediately please the 'hardcore' gamer. Slap on that rotational device from the GBA, so as you rotate the console in you hands, it effects what happens on screen. Perfect for racing games and puzzle games. Slap on a microphone and camera for wifi, and stuff the rest. Just like every console prior to the PS2, the DS is proof quality gaming does not rely on fancy graphics.Burning-Sludge
Without standard buttons how am I suppose to play roguelikes?
Well if it gets too complicated, then maybe the developers could slap their own buttons onto the touch screen, which you could slide over or tap using the thumbstraps.

I would have thought social games appear higher in UK charts purely because more people in the UK buy/play video games. You've a great number of gamers already, and then you have the casual market which has been growing since the days of Konami's Dance Stage games. The market here is definately expanding, and such games are responsible.
