ChallengeMe: Maths Workout on DS

Review

Maths has never really encouraged much excitement in people. Compared to guns, violence and scantily clad women, basic maths just isn't up to job when it comes to keeping the attention deficit of modern gamers satisfied. Thus one might hope that Challenge Me: Maths Workout would be here to change all that and bring a whole new world of mathematical ecstasy to gamers everywhere. Unfortunately what Oxygen Games has produced is neither fun nor educational, but in fact the very incarnation of pain.

The very best RPGs may vary in plot, character development and style, but all have one thing in common: depth. From the complex fates of Final Fantasy to the child-friendly Pokémon franchise, all succeed in transporting the player to an alternative world, engaging morals and emotion as you guide your character through their epic journey. And there is none so epic a journey than Dragon Quest, a role-playing adventure with a distinct Japanese fan base and storyline so deep it'll leave its mark long after you've finished playing.

Metal Slug 7 by Craig Wilson | 11-02-09

Metal Slug 7 brings the long running side-scrolling shooter series to the DS and in one foul swoop, completely revolutionises the genre. Okay, that's a lie, if you've played any other Metal Slug games then you'll quickly realise that this is pretty much any other Metal Slug game, alas missing one or two features.
