My 2 Cents (or whatever they’re worth): Wow, this month DS owners will be taking care of a lot of animals! Seriously though, that stuff is alright for younger audiences, but do we really need eighteen animal care games every month? This months good games look to be Bubble Bobble, mostly because its returning to the style of gaming that made it famous: the Platformer. Nanostray was a good shooter, so the sequel should be worth a look. Of course there is also Ace Attorney, which every smart DS owner should pick up. This month’s really interesting title looks to be Insecticide. With it’s film noir-ish feel, along with it’s cool insect characters, it could be an interesting game. It’s like a Bug’s Life for Sin City fans (well, maybe not that hardcore).
