My Nintendo DS Lite is Dead

I found out today my Nintendo DS Lite is busted. What is a man to do?

I don't know how it happened. I took it out of my bag two days ago so I could play Dragon Quest IX. When I tried to turn it on nothing happened. I was worried and distressed. This DS belonged to my brother. He had upgraded to the Nintendo DSI XL, so I kindly took the "piece of junk" off his hands. I had a DS before, but there was no game really interesting enough to keep me foucsed, so I got rid of it. Now, with Dragon Quest IX, I was having more fun on it then ever.

I tried to charge it, but my charger didn't work on it. The light would flicker for less than a second and then darkness. I attempted to use my roommate's charger, and that failed too. Maybe it's the battery. I could reapir it. I've been meaning to do that for sometime now. Maybe it's best I just leave it alone and invest in a new DS. The 3DS looks pretty cool from what I've seen. Just hope it doesn't hurt my eyes with its 3D-ness without 3D glasses.

R.I.P my Nintendo DS Lite.

I purchased Dead Rising 2: Case Zero before class on Friday. I love killing zombies after a day of hard work.

I had played quite a few hours of Dead Rising when the Xbox first released. I enjoyed it more for the achievements and the game play, but It never got me hooked like Resident Evil had on the Playstation. I liked the fact that I could literally grab anything from the giant mall you were contained in and use it as a weapon. I could grab a register, blender, YOUR MOMMA...okay, not your momma. That would be pretty funny though, wouldn't it?

As I was saying, anything in the world could be used for your advantage. Case Zero continues with that and adds one more feature that had be jumping in my seat. Combinations!

The player can grab certain items and combine them to create weapons of mass awesomeness. The first creation  of zombie-killing glory was a baseball bat with nails. Once you create your weapon you obtain a card which reveals of picture of the weapon and its uses. There are two different kinds of cards which deal different effect depending on the card given. I then created a bucket with drills attached to it. That was the highlight of my Zombie-beating session.

The 3 hour game starts with the new main character, Chuck, driving into the small town of Still Creak with his ill daughter. She had been bitten previously before the game and the whole game is centered with you and your daughter attempting to leave the zombie-ridden wasteland. The world has been taken over by the undead and Zombrex is the new drug everyone is clambering for or its lights out for the infected.

The game is worth the five dollar price tag on Xbox Live. All the levels gained in Case Zero can be exported into a save from Dead Rising 2 which will be released on September 28.

This title is worth a look at, or should I say, this is a game worth sinking your teeth into!

Maybe? No? Okay....ZOMBIES!
