Electronic Arts releases The SIMS 2 for Nintendo's GBA and DS

Electronic Arts announced that The Sims(TM) 2 for the Game Boy® Advance, and the Nintendo DS(TM), ships to retailers today. Based on the PC version of The Sims 2, which was the best-selling PC game of 2004, the console and handheld versions were re-invented from the ground-up to capitalize on the unique capabilities of each platform, while maintaining the same creativity and customization considered core components of the signature Sims experience.

Activision and Amaze Entertainment team up to give Shrek® fans an entirely new chapter in the ogre's twisted fairy tale adventures with Shrek Superslam for the GBA and DS

Ogre sized brawling action collides with the wickedly funny "Shrek(R)" universe in Activision Inc.'s Shrek(R) SuperSlam. The melee game features fully destructible 3D environments where players slam it out as any of 20 of their well-known characters from the "Shrek" films and beloved fairy tales in single player Story mode and Mega Challenge mode or frenzied multiplayer Melee combat with up to three friends.

Reviewers rate EA's THE SIMS 2 for the DS as 'Impressive’

From IGN.com ‘The Nintendo DS version of The Sims 2 is a great original title that revolves around running a decrepit hotel in the middle of creepy Strangeville. At the start, you'll have barely enough money to scrape by, but by checking in clients, doing odd jobs, gambling, and saving Strangeville from the frequent alien attacks, the Simoleans will start raking in and enable you to build your hotel up and outwards. Like the Game Boy Advance and console versions of the games in the Sims series, the Nintendo DS design gives you direct control over a specific Sim character, with customization over sex and appearance both in and out of clothing. The DS sequel is also now in true 3D, which, even with its more limited visuals, brings the game in line to the appearance of the console games and looks great.‘

Pirates of The Caribbean:: Dead Man's Chest Makes #4 on NEXT-GEN'S TOP 20 playable games of E3

"We know this will be controversial pick, but stick with us. Considering the usual dire quality of Disney tie-ins (notably the last Pirates of the Caribbean game), the fact that both DS and PSP versions of Dead Man's Chest are eminently playable pirate romps is one big surprise. Picking up your sword as Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, you get to slash and bash your way through ruffian-laden levels, thanks to a surprisingly articulate combat system, as well as excellent animation and graphics (especially on the DS version). Other playable characters include Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, while the PSP title also includes a ship-based multiplayer deathmatch mode."
