Happy 5th Birthday Nintendo DS!
November 21 is the official anniversary of the Nintendo DS, which hit stores five years ago today.
Over the past five years, the DS has seen its fair share of changes, from the cosmetic: awesome bundles and color options (like gold, red, blue, and green) and fun cases — to the inventive: this year's DSi and subsequent accessories and larger-screen model available overseas.
I'm proud to profess my love for the DS again this year: Happy Birthday Nintendo DS!

I have to admit — I sometimes like watching scary movies and playing creepy video games in the dark! It just adds to the already cringe-inducing nature of the games, and with today being Halloween, it's the perfect time to freak yourself out with one of these six scary video games. Round up a few of your friends and play on .
Mini Ninjas DS vs Xbox 360 Smackdown: Which Is Better?
You already know about my addiction to Mini Ninjas, which I played on the Xbox 360 at this year's E3, but did you know that this game also came out on other platforms? I haven't tested out the Wii or PS3 editions, but I have been able to get my hands on both the Xbox 360 and DS versions to test and play.
As you may know, not all games are created equal on all platforms.
Portable Chic: My Favorite DS Cases
Since Nintendo releases a new DS model every few years or so, I gotta keep mine covered and clean (so I can recycle or donate it later once I upgrade). But really, I just want to add a touch of style to my gaming to show off on the bus, plane, or wherever the need to play strikes. Check out a few of my favorite DS cases, including a few I just recently saw at the Tokyo Game Show in Japan!
7 Games to Work Your Brain
In case you missed it, President Obama spoke directly to school children last week, asking them to stay in school and study up for the future. I thought the speech was inspiring, but he did kind of diss my beloved video games. Obama asked the youth of America to not "spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox."
Would You Play DS Games on Your iPhone?
It's a well known fact that the iPhone and the iPod Touch are becoming full-on competitors to the traditional gaming platform. With thousands of games available to download and play at the touch of the screen, it's easier than ever to keep yourself entertained wherever you are. But the one thing I can't see myself doing is playing Nintendo DS games on my iPhone.
DJ Overload: Which Record-Scratching Game Are You Buying?
Ever since Rock Band and Guitar Hero hit the scene, music games have increased in popularity with hard-core gamers and casual gamers alike. And not surprisingly, DJ Hero ($120) was one of the most popular demos at E3, especially after its star-studded preview party in LA. But as you know, there will always be more than one game competing for your buck.
The Other Side of E3: Shopping!
Although my eyeballs were plastered to LCDs for the majority of E3, I managed to take some breaks and head on over to the merch booths. I picked myself up one of these DS Lite organizers, which caught my eye from their resemblance to the one that comes with the lime green DS bundle. Brought to you by Power A, who makes tons of portable gaming accessories, you can get your own case from Target (my fave), Best Buy, and even Kmart.
Personal Trainer: Walking Hits Stores May 26
Nintendo is really trying to get us in shape for Summer! Set to make its official debut on May 26 here in the US, Personal Trainer: Walking works by sending data between a wireless activity pedometer (which you can place anywhere — even inside a bag!) and the infrared game card in your Nintendo DS or DSi to track your walking progress.
Your DS will record your daily step count, minute by minute, so you can always go back and see your activity level.
