Some games translate well to the DS, while others don’t. Unfortunately, the DS version of Super Monkey Ball falls short. The game itself is really no worse than the versions for GameCube, but the biggest downfall is the DS itself.

Mario Kart for Nintendo DS
Mario Kart is a long-running game series from Nintendo, taking our familiar plumber character, Mario, and his cohorts (Luigi, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, Toad, and many others) around the laps in go-karts. While you can play in single player mode against the CPU, the game really shines when you play against others. The Nintendo DS version ups the ante for the portable version of this game.
Live from Daryl’s House
Quickshot: if you are a fan of Daryl Hall and Hall & Oates, be sure to check out Daryl’s new website: Live from Daryl’s House. Each month, Daryl features a new live performance as a webcast. I’m listening to Episode 1 right now from the archives, and I’m liking it quite a bit. Daryl’s still in fine voice, and it’s great to hear some new takes on his songs that I missed when Hall & Oates visited our area back in December. And it’s free–just register, and you can access all four episodes. Great stuff!

There are a couple of schools of thought, which I may or may not agree with, but are interesting nonetheless. My take? Read on.
