Brief: This is a double posting of one of those strangest games on NDS. Good games it is too. The concept is so refreshing and it can only be done with NDS. All the strange mini-games with better quality than Warioware. Both game basically have the same plot of a guy going after a girl of his dream. The music also is very wacky and nice. Sound effects is fantastic. All in all, both game are equally fantastic and had high production values. Definitely one of the must for any NDS owner.
Descriptions:
Feel the Magic
Feel the Magic: XY/XX is played solely with the stylus and microphone, and features a voice recognition system through both speaking and breathing. It is composed of several minigames that are loosely linked, as the player tries to impress the girl.


There are three main modes of play. Story mode is the main mode which contains the minigames in each chapter with three levels of difficulty, ‘Normal’, ‘Hard’, and ‘Hell’. Memories is a gameplay mode where one can play any of the previous minigames previously beaten. Stars can be collected in Memories, that can unlock certain pieces of clothing. The third mode, Maniac, is where one is able to take all the articles of clothing earned during the game to dress up the girl.
The Rub Rabbits!
The Rub Rabbits! features an all-new protagonist, love interest and female villain. As in the original Feel The Magic: XY/XX, the protagonist sees the love interest in passing, and instantly becomes smitten by her. However, 11 other men also develop an interest in her at the same time, and the hero has to compete with the other men to gain her attention.


At one point early on in the game, the hero lends a hand to another girl who is inconvenienced by the rush of men chasing after the love interest. Even though this was just a brief, chance encounter, the female antagonist becomes instantly infatuated with the hero, and begins doing everything in her power to steal him away for herself. Her efforts include brainwashing the other men to continue interfering, building various robotic creatures to try to separate the lovers, kidnapping the hero, and poisoning the girl. In the end, the protagonist foils all of her plans and rescues his friends.
After the credits, it is revealed that the hero of the game becomes the leader of the Rub Rabbits, with the other men becoming the members of the troupe.

Brief: Tanya Chua is a very talented singer and song producer. Her songs are not as commercialized as most other pop songs singer but it’s this sort of unique production that made her who she is. Her music is very different from most other singers and she also produce songs for other singers. Definitely one of the best music producer out there.
Brief: Elva is one of my favourite female singer due to her great dancing talents. She might not have very strong vocals but her songs are catchy pop tunes that are easy to follow along with her dances. Throughout the years, you can shee how she mature and started to go into more serious kind of music production. She even went to study music in US and learned to produce her own music. Well, the attempt is noble but the result might not. This is her second attempt at doing an album where she is involved in the production throughout. The songs are very mature and is not the good ole Elva days. That dancing diva throne has been taken by Jolin. There are few good songs in there but ultimately it’s the new Elva which you have to learn to accept. She even looked very different now.

Brief: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (also known as Advance Wars: Dark Conflict) is the follow-up to Advance Wars series. The second game on the NDS console if not mistaken. I like Advance Wars a lot. I have played the first in Gameboy and followed it up to NDS and now Days of Ruin. The problem is, this particular game ruins (no puns intended) everything for me. It is the weakest of all Advance Wars games. They tried to move the game away from the 


Brief: Anyone who is a serious gamer would know what type of game Space Invaders is. It is one of the classic games most old folks (of gamers) would have played in the arcade during those days. This game has been done in every platform imaginable and every re-invention someone could come up with. Whatever the packaging or platform, it is still the Space Invaders we all know. I am not sure about you guys but for me, I never did like this game. I got bored after playing with this game for 5 minutes in the old Atari console. Since then I never did get to like it any more than the 5 minutes memory it gave me. Though I keep trying a lot of new iteration of this game, I still do not like it. I am sure there are a lot of fans of this game so, here is the release in NDS.
