as mischievous as the magician. Ink ghosts have invaded books and paintings, causing trouble within those realms, and now it's up to Pac-Man to wipe out the ghost problem by using the "Ghost Pen," a device that allows him to enter the infested books and paintings to clear out the bad guys. Pac-Pix is a game tailored specifically for the Nintendo DS' system capabilities. By drawing Pac-Man characters in a specific fashion (the mouth first, then the circle, all in one swoop), the drawing will come to life and munch anything in his path. Players can maneuver Pac-Man drawings in different directions by plotting pathways on the screen for the scribble to follow. Draw Pac-Man Use the stylus to draw Pac-Man, and watch as he comes to life ...  (less)

must negotiate the mazes, while staying out of the line of sight of any human being. If you steal everything in a maze without being seen at all, you win a bonus. To succeed, you must employ a number of attacks. Grinch attacks include throwing rotten eggs, and scooping and throwing snowballs. Also, you'll learn to beat a hasty retreat if you're discovered (the Whoville folk chase you only until they run out of breath). The simple GBC graphics bring back memories of older systems, but it's easy also to see the similarities between The Grinch and other games. Because it involves so much stealth, fans of Metal Gear Solid will draw similar parallels. The Grinch 's near top-down view also will draw parallels with MGS 's inset map screen. Being similar to MGS is ...  (less)

game that graced the finest bowling alleys and arcades of the cold war-era early '80s. Missile Command , the original arcade game, had a unique set of controls, including a trackball for lightning-fast positioning. Here, the PlayStation's analog stick serves as a poor replacement, never quite getting the right balance between hypersensitivity and sluggishness. The game challenges players to protect a set of cities along the bottom of the screen from an onslaught of branching enemy missiles from the sky. The original game is intact despite prettier graphics and the option of a two-player cooperative mode. In addition there is a new game that borrows heavily from the concept of the original Missile Command , but features slightly more mobility a...  (less)

viewpoint, Zombie Revenge places all characters (including hordes of attacking zombified souls) in a third-person camera view. A perfect translation of the arcade game by the same name, Zombie Revenge also offers up an original mode that features a few small differences, including the option to play with powered-up guns or in bare knuckles mode (without the aid of handguns). The graphics are crisp and clean, but the controls are mired in poor response time, and too many functions are assigned to the same buttons. Fans of the arcade version will rejoice at not having to pump quarters into a machine, but average zombie-hunting folks might be better off with Sega's other spooky shooter, House of the Dead 2 . --Jeff Young Pros: A seamless arcade-to-Drea...  (less)

licenses from the NFL and its athletes, the game has all of the teams and players, plus perfect replications of logos and stadiums. Just to assure that the artificial intelligence was high and the gameplay realistic, the developers coaxed Brett Favre into designing some of the plays. The results are simply awesome.  (less)

blast our way through jack o' lope farms and a riverboat as well as a brothel (Bubba can't wait) 'fore we get home again. Toosday: Met new folks like Daisy Mae (she's purty). Bikers, pigs, cows and jack o' lopes. I think I even saw the King at the Slurp n' Burp. Winsday: Yeehaw! Got to joyride in a Swamp Buggy and a motorcycle that were both armed to the teeth. I hope those peoples I ran over will be alright. I still got a darn jack 'o lope stuck in the grill though. Thersday: New ways to destroy stuff! I found over 10 weapons like a crossbow that shoots dynamite-loaded chickens and a slingblade. Mmmm-Hmm! Fri-day: Sure am hungry! I just need some good ol' redneck powerups like pork rinds, cow pies and some of my granpappy's moonshine! Saterday: Boy I sure so like those toe...  (less)
