The DS is quickly flying off shelves, but new games aren't coming as rapidly as the quirky system is going. Still, the year produced a few fine two-headed offspring, so without further ado we present:.
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Publisher: Square Enix
Genre: Action
MSRP: $34.99
Rocket Slime is about a slime named Rocket (go figure) who must engage in tank warfare to rescue the kidnapped members of the slime kingdom. It's weirder than it sounds, and offers the best versus play on the DS since Advance Wars. Get slimed.
Developed by iNiS, the guys who made Gitaroo Man Lives!, this is another wacky rhythm game with an infectiously funny plot, starring, of all people, male cheerleaders. Gimme a WHY?!
