Ferretbrain - Redefining Handheld Gaming

Arthur reviews three games for the Nintendo DS: Metroid Prime: Hunters, Lostmagic and Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix.

Of course, as consoles use more and more commodity hardware and gain a wider range of capabilities, companies try harder and harder to market them as not just gaming devices but "all-in-one" do-anything machines... which really starts defeating their purpose...

Yeah, as fun as the likes of Brain Training are I don't think the idea of marketing the DS as a console for grown-ups to do grown-up things on really works, and I've noticed that (on TV at least) they seem to be moving away from that approach - more Zelda: Phantom Hourglass trailers, less Johnny Ball.
