i'm thankful for my health, my friends and family, my awesome 20/20 gaming eyes, and my undamaged gaming fingers. i really should get them fingers insured.

standalone googlemaps, even if just for my own city.

there was no cheating AI. the player is just as much a beneficiary of random falling automatic gems as the computer. i don't see the player complaining when they get lucky on an off-screen gem falling down and scoring them a 4x row.

also this week:
Viva Piñata Pocket Paradise (Europe)
Final Fantasy IV (Europe)
Dinosaur King (Europe)
Spore Creatures (Europe)
Touch Mechanic (Europe)
Princess Lillifee (Europe)

The Quest Trio (USA)

Touch de Ni-hao Hitsudankun (Japan)

you clearly have not played The Sims to its fullest ..
invite your neighbours over, fence them in with furniture, and starve them to death.

There's a slew more I just realized. Ouendan/EliteBeatAgents, Professor Layton, Big Brain / Brain Age, Cooking Mama, Sudoku ad nauseum, Light Gun ports (Point Blank, House of the Dead 2) .. somebody at Apple, hire me already. :D

as much as i disagree with the iPhone being in the 'same league' as the DS and PSP, i can also see quite a few potential games that could be ported over from the DS.
Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice, Trauma Center, Puzzle Quest, Clubhouse Games, Touchmaster, Zuma/Magnetica/ActionLoop, and oodles of turn-based RPGs/SRPGs. I'm sure even Soul Bubble could be interface-tweaked to use 4 large thumb-sized buttons instead of the d-pad.

1) this is mandarin, based on the "ni hao" i'm reading in the english phonetics.
2) the screenshots indicate simplied chinese writing, rather than traditional chinese writing. not that this matters, but i was looking for this to clean up the decrepit state of my chinese. taiwan and hong kong use traditional chinese, while china uses simplified.

Lucky had ridiculous range on his low strong kicks in KOF98, and Heavy D! had a pretty solid moveset along w/ a double-hitting jumping strong punch.
the football player .. he not so good.

it sounds like the reckless furniture-tossing of the first elebits won't be making the transition to the DS .. ? :(
