Doodle Hex is a very interesting DS exclusive release. As you can tell by the box art the game is quite colorful with unique comic book style.

The concept of the game is quite simple, you play the role of a wizard and you objective is to defeat the enemy wizard. To do this you must defeat opponent to collect new spells. Each spell can be cast by drawing the associated symbol on the DS touch screen.

The spells have three main function Speed, defense or offense. It is up to the play to combine these spells to produce winning results.

I found that doodle hex is a very interesting and fun game. It’s unique and takes advantage of the DS controls in a new fashion and I have never really played anything like it before. After finishing the game a few times with different characters the game play does get a bit old and I find myself just skipping the story line as it all will just result into another battle.

Doodle Hex really shines as a two player dueling game between friends but it’s luster fades after a few rounds so you’ll probably only be playing it in short bursts. Overall it’s a good time killer but will not offer you any deep and meaningful story or overly complex game play. Quick thinking and dexterity are the keys to being a doodle hex master.

I just finished playing “Super Mario Galaxy” for the first time and all I really want to say is wow! Mario games are usually known for being fun and entertaining and they always seem to show us why Nintendo has been in the console game business for so long.

This episode of Super Mario is not just on par but it really takes gaming to another level all together. Even from the very first level you sink right into an amazing 3D world of fantastic visuals, insane gravity and lots of charm.

Most of what I experienced was typical 3D Mario equipped with King Koopa, toad stool people, evil enemy mushroom and turtles all of which we will remember from Super Mario 64. What you will also notice as soon as you step foot on your first galaxy is that the gravity breaks all the rules you have ever seen in games of old. The worlds are small enough that you can run all the  way around them and walls that you normally would think are decorative are actually paths that you can run up, down and around.

Once you get over the shock and awe of being able to run on ceilings and walls the game will send you blasting through space and fighting bosses and baddies in ways that I have never really seen before. Before I even started this game a lot of people told me that it was too short but I really feel that it felt short because it is so dynamic that every few levels you play feels like you are playing a different game. The innovations in game play are outstanding and it will leave you wanting more.

I don’t really have anything negative to say about “Super Mario Galaxy” it really opened up a new experience for me with the controls and game play. Mario games are usually fantastic and I honestly will say that this is the best one yet and is a must play for any Wii owner.
