It was one of the hit Best Sellers in the year of 2005 and 2006.

It was enjoyed by many fans and it has a extreme rating of 5/5!!!

Back from their first turn in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the bros. are jumping into a time-traveling, role-playing adventure with a lot of help from their younger selves.

Professor E. Gadd has just completed his time machine! So excited was Princess Peach about the new invention, that she decided to go on a joy ride with a few of her courtiers. But when the time machine returns, no Princess, just an ugly Junior Shrooboid with a taste for Italian plumbers.

That's where Mario and Luigi come in. Bidden by Toadsworth, Peach's father, to find his daughter, the bros. travel to the Mushroom Kingdom of yesteryear by jumping through mysterious time holes which suddenly appear.

Bottom Line Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time brings exciting, non-stop role-playing action, with the platforming gameplay made famous by Super Mario Bros. Indeed, the game has a new challenge around every corner. A must-have for your Nintendo DS collection.

Game Of The Week : New Super Mario Bros

It's been more than 20 years since Super Mario Bros. first arrived, and now Mario and Luigi are back in an all-new platformer for Nintendo DS. Boasting incredible 3D graphics to accompany classic 2D gameplay, this fast-paced adventure will have Mario fans cheering.

Features

Run, jump, and stomp your way through raging volcanoes, tropical islands, snowcapped peaks, and unimaginable challenges!

Grab a Mega Mushroom and grow to incredible proportions, or smash through your foes in a blue Koopa shell!

Challenge a friend to a wireless face-off on specially designed levels, or play up to three friends in a ton of Touch Screen minigames.

New Worlds! New Super Mario Bros. features eight all-new worlds, each filled with extra levels, hidden paths, and secrets galore.

It's possible to complete the game without visiting every world, which means you'll have to track down many alternate exists to visit every nook and cranny in the game.

New Power-Ups! You'll find classic power-ups like the Super Mushroom and the Fire Flower in the game, and there are some all-new power-ups that let Mario explore the Mushroom Kingdom like never before.

Super Mushroom Mario's most basic power-up doubles his size and grants him the strength to smash through blocks. It also allows him to survive a single enemy hit.

Fire Mario The Fire Flower transforms Mario into Fire Mario, allowing him to throw fireballs that bounce along the ground and can damage or destroy most foes. Mega Mushroom Grab a Mega Mushroom to make Mario grow to colossal size for a short time.

Mega Mario can smash enemies, blocks and even pipes simply by running into them.

Mini Mushroom Snag a Mini Mushroom to shrink Mario down to micro size. In this teeny form, Mario can go into small pipes and travel down tiny paths. Plus, he's so light that he can perform floating jumps and run on water.

Koopa Shell When Mario picks up a special blue Koopa shell, he'll transform into Shell Mario. Shell Mario can smash through enemies and blocks like a Koopa shell, and also swim more quickly underwater.

New Moves! New Super Mario Bros. expands Mario's arsenal of moves to include some very powerful advanced techniques. If you want to uncover every secret in the game, you'll have to master them all.

Ground Pound Known in some circles as the "butt bounce," this move allows Mario to pound the ground from above. This technique can be used to attack enemies or to break bricks. Special Jumps Mario can gain new heights by performing double and triple jumps similar to those found in Super Mario 64.

Wall Jump Mario's new wall jumping ability is probably the most-used new move in the game. You'll have to use this technique to reach hidden items, and it can save your life if you accidentally fall into a pit.

New Multiplayer! There are two multiplayer modes in New Super Mario Bros. -- Mario vs. Luigi and Minigames. In Mario vs. Luigi mode, it's brother vs. brother in a race for Stars. The goal of the game is to collect the Stars that appear throughout the stage at timed intervals.

If your brother gets a Star first, don't worry. Any time you damage your bro, he'll drop one of his Stars and you can claim it for yourself. This mode is available for two players, and you only need one game card to play.

The Minigames mode offers a wide variety of simple touch-screen activities. You can challenge them solo, or use them as the basis of a minigame tournament for up to four players. The minigames may be simple, but they're surprisingly fun when you're putting your skills to the test against your friends.

Bottom Line The great thing about New Super Mario Bros. is that it takes everything that was so spectacular about the original series and takes it to the next level. The new moves and power-ups are awesome, and it's hugely satisfying to find hidden item blocks and other secrets scattered throughout the game. The replay value is through the roof, especially with the addition of the Mario vs. Luigi multiplayer mode. Never before has "New" been so dramatically understated.

Unique features only possible on the Nintendo DS make Tetris DS an instant classic. Features
Innovative use of DS stylus and dual screens

Six classic and all-new modes

Incredible artwork inspired by Nintendo favorites like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda

10 DS players can battle with only one Tetris DS card!

Battle worldwide on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Everyone agrees: Tetris is one of the most popular games ever. But Standard mode is only the starting point of this stunning game. Touch Mode -- Only Possible with the DS!

At the top of a heap of Tetriminos sits a cage of balloons inspired by the NES classic Balloon Fighter. Use the stylus to touch and slide the Tetriminos to clear lines and drop that cage ever closer to earth. If you can get the cage to hit the ground, it will open and the balloons will be set free. In early levels, players can tap blocks to rotate them just to fit into the open spaces.

Touch mode gets really challenging, though on the tougher levels, where you can't rotate the Tetriminos.

Think hard and carefully plan your moves. There's no time limit in this brain-bending mode. Once you play Touch mode, you'll wonder why no one has thought up this simple yet incredibly addictive puzzler before.

Push Mode -- Tetris Tug-of-War Push against friends locally via the DS wireless connection or all over the world via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Themed to the arcade classic Donkey Kong, players must clear lines in an attempt to push the other player to the edge of the screen.

Clearing two lines at a time moves the screen down and pushes the opponent into the red zone. The frantic action leads to abrupt changes of momentum. All it takes is a few well-timed pushes to quickly end a game. Push mode can also be played solo vs. the CPU. Catch Mode -- Tetris in Reverse Instead of controlling the flying Tetriminos, gamers control a flying core of blocks.

Maneuvering in a classic Metroid setting (you even get to destroy Metroids), gamers twist and move that core to catch the Tetriminos. As pieces fall, the core of blocks turns into a mass that can grow to unmanageable sizes if a player isn't careful. Falling Metroids will deplete your player's energy if they touch the mass of blocks. To keep the core of blocks under control, you'll need to form a solid square, then detonate it to refill the energy meter.

Catch mode is the ultimate Tetris game of survival. Puzzle Mode -- Testing Your Wits Clear all the blocks using only a few Tetriminos in this innovative mode themed around the Game Boy classic Yoshi's Cookie. You are given lines of blocks and a predetermined set of Tetriminos. Use the stylus to choose, rotate and drop a Tetrimino. Each drop has to clear at least one line. Often, the obvious choice isn't the right one. There's no time limit, so you have all the time in the world to ponder your next move. With 200 puzzles, gamers of all ages will be engrossed for hours. Mission Mode -- Move Quickly! In this Legend of Zelda-inspired mode, you are given scenarios to complete, such as clear two lines at once, or clear lines with a specific Tetrimino. Move quickly -- if you take too long, you'll be hit with junk blocks. You can play an endless Marathon game.

In Time Trial, clear 10 missions as quickly as possible in Time Trial. If your Zelda-inspired heart meter runs down, the game is over.

For frantic LAN fun, play Mission mode head-to-head against a friend. Standard Mode -- The Classic, Updated This is the place for classic Tetris action! Gamers can play traditional Tetris solo before a Super Mario Bros. backdrop or battle others nearby or around the world!

Up to four people can battle around the world with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and see how they stack up against others on the leaderboard on NintendoWiFi.com. Additionally, Tetris DS lets up to 10 people battle at the same time via wireless LAN. All you need is one Tetris DS Game Card and a DS for each player! For each ten levels cleared, you'll open up a new Nintendo-inspired theme. Excitebike, Ice Climber and Duck Hunt are just a few of the retro themes you'll love!

Bottom Line Brimming over with modes and features only possible with the DS's unique capabilities, Tetris DS is a must-have for all fans of great gaming!

Metroid is involve?

Im getting the game!

8/10

Super Paper Mario

How is it that the GameCube and Wii both launched without a Mario game? Somehow it happened, and here we are, months after Wii took the world by surprise and we're just now seeing the iconic mascot appear on the system. To make things even weirder, it's not a 3D platformer or sports game debut, either. Nope, it's a new entry in the RPG-lite Paper Mario series, the last of which landed in 2004. But in order to make the game more digestible to the non-RPG fan, Super Paper Mario plays more like a traditional side-scrolling Mario title than a straight-up RPG.
Sure, there's quite a bit of story, and you do gain levels as your score increases throughout the game, but instead of a big world ready to be explored, you're ushered from Chapter 1-1 to 1-2, 1-3 and then for a boss fight in 1-4. Repeat through 8-4, just like the good ol' NES days. The end of each world gives you a bit more of the story, introduces a new ability or two and maybe even throws in a new playable character - Peach, Bowser and eventually Luigi all become part of your heroic quartet.
Even the Wii Remote gets in on the old school action - it's held sideways, so everything handles like a true '80s Nintendo game. It's a great sensation to run through locales like Hell (aka the "Underwhere") with an uncomfortable rectangle mashed in your palms. Ah, the joys of pre-ergonomics ergonomics.

Features

Sonic and the Secret Rings

Sonic brings his trademark speed and attitude to the Wii in his first solo adventure since 1991, and it's a real trailblazer. Features
Fast, frenetic gameplay with Sonic in constant motion
Exotic settings and creatures inspired by the Arabian Nights tales
Branching paths for extensive gameplay variety and replayability
A variety of party games for up to four players Sonic finds himself in the colorful and vibrant world of the Arabian Nights. There he embarks on his most outrageous journey to date through an expansive 3D world brought to life with realistic water reflections, light bloom and lifelike physics. The most engaging thing about Sonic and the Secret Rings is that it's fun. Sonic Team created a game that is not only fun for all ages, they've added depth to both appease the beginner and challenge the hardcore gamers. On the simple sideFor those looking for the simple slice of Sonic life, they need to know only three game functions: jump, attack and lateral movement. Players hold the Wii Remote on its side like it's the center column of a steering wheel. Tilting the remote left or right makes Sonic move to the left or right. Because Sonic is always moving forward, you need to only focus on moving left or right to avoid obstacles or collect rings. Sonic jumps when you press the 2 Button, and he attacks enemies if you flick the remote forward once he's in the air. That's really all you need to know to enjoy this game. Sonic's surroundings, inspired by ancient Persia and the Arabian Nights, add a beautiful artistic element that will often times pull your attention away from the action and into the background. The lush environments might distract you, but they don't detract from the sense of speed. Sonic runs with silky-smooth grace that is only slowed by either the user's desire or error. For the hardcoreSonic and the Secret Rings sounds simple, doesn't it? It's not-- by a longshot. Sonic challenges gamers to a new platforming experience that's difficult to master. Although it doesn't take that much effort to complete a mission, it takes a ton of skill to secure the three Fire Souls found within the missions and to notch a gold-medal performance. In RPG fashion, Sonic gets stronger, faster and more agile as you progress through the game. As he learns new skills through gameplay, you can equip those skills on a special ring. While wearing this ring, Sonic uses a number of those acquired skills during a level in an effort to earn the gold medal. For those ready to fall back in love with Sonic, or for those who need a lot of depth in a game before they buy it, it's hard to argue against the replayability of Sonic and the Secret Rings. Missing a key jump is frustrating; making it is utterly satisfying. Missing a Fire Soul or falling short of the gold makes you want to try harder to nail it. And now, we partyWhat would Sonic be without his friends? Although you can't play as any of Sonic's compadres in the main adventure, they're waiting on the deck of the party boat. In X Adventure World, you and three friends (or computer opponents) will do battle in a number of minigames. You'll find several competitive minigame events. Genie's Lair, for example, lets the winners of the minigames pick from treasure chests, some of which are booby trapped. The one with the most treasure wins. Pirates Coast puts you and your friends on rival rafts. Minigame winners advance farther toward the goal. The minigames themselves are OK, and your enjoyment of this mode will depend on your affinity for party games. If you're not a party-game fan, this collection won't do anything to bring you over to the dark side. If you're a fan, this multiplayer mode is a nice bonus, otherwise you'll feel like this is tacked on just so Tails and Knuckles would have something to do. The Secret's OutWii has its first great platformer. Once you get past the tutorials and into the meat of the game, it's easy to see Sonic's at home with his return to his roots. Then, once you unlock such screen-blurring abilities as Sonic's Speed Break, you'll see this is more than a return to form for the Hedgehog—it's an exhilarating attack on your senses. Bottom LineDon't expect the story or dialogue to enthrall you; besides, Sonic's all about speed. This game has tons of it and would make an excellent addition to your Wii library.
