LEGO Rock Band
This week's DS on DS Review was written on LEGO Rock Band.
From the review: "When Guitar Hero first hit the Nintendo DS, it was fun to play, but only for short periods. That is all thanks to the hand cramping that everyone experienced with the required add-on controller that went in the GBA slot. Then, on top of that, the DSi was released and everyone who got one could no longer play any of the Guitar Hero games. Along comes LEGO Rock Band, and now it doesn't matter if you have a DS Lite or a DSi. You also don't need a goofy peripheral to play."

WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010
This week's DS on DS review is on WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010.
From the review: "Two years ago, the perennial Smackdown Vs. Raw was released for the first time on the Nintendo DS. That version solely used the touch screen to play the game through the usually dreaded Quick Time Events. The second iteration of the series on the DS used the d-pad to maneuver your brawler around the ring, and the touch screen to perform the attacks. Both of these were less than ideal for a wrestling game. The latest entry in the series, Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010, has finally been released, and thankfully it is a big change from the prior two games."

Imagine: Teacher Class Trip
This weeks DS on DS review is on Imagine: Teacher Class Trip.
From the review: "The questions the kids answer are extremely simple, things like matching the heads of animals to their butts. The thing here is that these kids start out STUPID. They seem to get more answers correct as you go along, but at first they get EVERYTHING wrong. This leads to some great scenes when you are grading the tests. You mark their papers zero, and you get a screen of the child crying, and it tells you you did a good job. So, here you are, in the crappiest "vacation" center ever, making kids cry just so you can get first place."

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
This week's DS on DS review is on Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.
From the review: "The first portable game in the Kingdom Hearts series, Chain of Memories on the GameBoy Advance, took what everyone loved about Kingdom Hearts and turned it into a game with a card-based battle system. The game itself takes place between the two main PS2 Kingdom Hearts games. The second of the portable Kingdom Hearts games, 358/2 Days, has been released on the Nintendo DS. This game also takes place between the two PS2 games, and it even somewhat crosses over with the Chain of Memories storyline. Thankfully, they ditched the cards, and decided to go with the more traditional Kingdom Hearts combat. "

Scribblenauts
This week's DS on DS review is on Scribblenauts.
Here is an excerpt: "Since this past E3, Scribblenauts quickly became a highly anticipated game for a lot of DS owners. For me, it was one of the five games coming out this year that I was really looking forward to playing. I mean, who wouldn't be interested in a game that gave you an objective, and then let you solve it however you see fit? This uniqueness, however, brings with it the game's biggest flaw: you."

DS on DS: Marker Man Adventures
This week's DS on DS review is on Marker Man Adventures.
Here's an excerpt: "The game has you playing as Marker Man (a stick figure), in search of his missing dog, Doodle. He has to travel through 170 levels to find him. Each level has a hand drawn look to it. Even the background looks like graph paper. It’s a nice touch. The music, on the other hand, isn’t so nice. This is one of those games that if you are going to play it, you better do so with the volume off. "

DS on DS: Fossil Fighters
This week's DS on DS review is on Fossil Fighters.
Here is an excerpt: "If you were to mix Pokemon with dinosaurs, two fairly popular concepts, you wouldn't think you could go very wrong. Add into that the fact that it is a first party title on the Nintendo DS, and you would really be expecting great things. What you wouldn't expect is something that is somewhat slow paced and even a little tedious, but that is exactly what Fossil Fighters is."
