So, as it turns out, the bigger DS is (surprise!) actually real. In Japan, it’s being called the DSi LL, but here’s it’ll be the DSi XL. It’s been officially announced for a first-quarter release next year:
Not only will the first few months of 2010 play host to the release dates of a squadron of [...]
If only the unfortunate protagonists of Paranormal Activity had this DSi game on their side!
Ghostwire, A Different Game’s DSi-only title that uses the camera to fill players’ real surroundings with virtual ghosts, looked quite promising when it was unveiled. The only problem: without a publisher, it was nothing but an apparition of a game. Today, [...]
Most of us know the magical feeling that comes with receiving a big, shiny video game console as a present.
