[Download The Instruction Booklet PDF] The word is out. Although the game’s ratings have been lower than I expected, it’s probably due to the nature of the game. We got our hands on a copy and must say it is a blast to play. It’s a little different gaming experience but we recommend all of you give it a shot. Game Rankings (Why does Chihuahua have a slightly higher average?)

Why do online stores do this? This has been out a while but c’mon. Who’s going to buy this thing without even seeing it’s input device?

I for one am pretty excited, but I’m a little biased as a dog lover living in a condo where I can’t sport a big ol’ lab. Here’s to dog loving tamagot...

Nintendo has launched their Gameboy Micro site, reminding us just how tiny this thing is. I swear it gets smaller everytime I see it. Let’s hope that $99 price gets smaller too.

The DS buzz is catching like wildfire with even mass consumers interested in the system and it...
