"Pokemon' is against Indian culture" is the latest pronouncement from the crazy people in the RSS. Though they don't explain the religious basis in Hindu scripture that justifies this proclamation, the wacko right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is pretty convinced the cartoon's increasing popularity with Indian kids is evil. Aside from the irrationality that seems to plague the RSS community (ahem) it seems the only logical response is: "Gotta catch 'em all!"

Come for the Sudoku, stay for the Math Triangle. "Brain Hacks in a box." - Anil Dash. (*****)- Game Boy Movie Player/Emulator
I hadn't had the to time to play with my movie advance player recently, but it's improved by leaps and bounds. The video encoding and quality is better than it has to be for your Gameboy/DS screen, and you can also listen to music while you're reading ebooks. It also plays gameboy ROMs. And sometime in the past year the price dropped to $25. And it works with the gameboy micro. I cannot rave enough about this little creature.

Mike from Mule Design says: "Simple and addictive matching game. Crack for the DS." I love it too. (*****)O3 Software: Alien Hominid
Rrecommended by Souris, side scroller with old-school personality and Viewtiful Joe sense of humor. The Nintendo polish that I expect isn't quite there, and it feels like a Playstation port of an old arcade game (the usual nintendo buttons don't work - b for back, for instance). This is partly intentional, I know, but I think this game is intended for more serious gamers. (***)Nintendo DS
At once overhyped and misunderstood. Mario 64 DS is wonderful. (*****)Spider-Man 2: The Movie 2
My favorite non-Nintendo produced Gamecube game, by far. Best graphics outside of Zelda, and fastest action outside of Ikaruga. (****)Nintendo: Wario Ware, Inc.:Mega Microgame$
Should come included with the DS! (*****)GameCube Broadband Adapter
Why stop at 1? Why not buy 3? (****)BELKIN A3X126-7BK 7-Foot CAT 5e UTP Crossover Cable
If you don't have a computer genius around to cut your standard ethernet cable in half and rewire it, you'll need one of these. This is overpriced but convenient. (**)Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
We love this. (*****)Miyamoto: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
More than reason enough to buy a Nintendo. Probably the most beautiful video game ever made. (*****)
