DS
New Super Mario Bros
May 18th
I really don’t want to complain about such a lovely, lovely game… but the fact it only lets you save every few levels until you’ve completed it is really rather rubbish.
Ouendan

Tried this (in my old DS due to screen-scartching worries) before work.
Tried to save a girl from a giant blue mouse. Managed it on my last possible go.
Next it will be time to tackle the infamous Ready, Steady, Go. I’m scared.
Animal Crossing: Wild World
May 17th
I don’t like Deena.
She invited herself round, so I had to hang around for half an hour while she got herself ready. Then when she arrived she kept asking me if I like hamsters, refused to rate my room and left after about thirty seconds.
Bloody duck.
Animal Crossing: Wild World
May 14th
Ack.
Had terrible wifi trouble this evening. I went over to Vatican okay, but then the game got stuck on save screen when I left. Eventually I just had to turn off the DS because it wasn’t going anywhere and got Resetti shouting at me for my troubles.
Then P’anther tried coming to Venture, but after about five seconds we blue screened. We tried again, same deal. Then she tried opening her gates and couldn’t connected to Nintendo WFC for ages. When she finally did, when I tried to look for a list of open towns her game crashed as soon as I connected.
Not the best night, then.
Tetris DS
May 14th
I just more than doubled my score to 186,945 and got to level 16.
The target’s level 20, not sure how long it’ll take me to get there.
I wish I knew which Nintendo games it showed while I was playing. After a few levels it becomes impossible to find time to sneak a look.
Tetris DS
May 13th
New Standard/Marathon best of 92,287 and got up to level 12.
Lots of people say this is too easy. I’d have to disagree. All the extras just give me something to grab on to, not invicibility.
Pokemon Trozei
May 13th
What better thing to do when waiting for the Cup Final to kick off than beat the final boss in a Pokemon-themed puzzle game?
Well, not so final as I’ve now unlocked a hard mode.
The Guardian reviewed this game today and completely slagged it off. Extreme wrongness there.
