Special Features
Important Importables
Jenni Lada brings us information about all of the groovy new gaming imports from around the world.
The holidays are sneaking up on us once again, which means its time to review the games released in 2008 that would make great gifts. This year, Gamertell’s compiled a list of 36 delightful adventures just waiting to slide into slot-1 on your DS unit.
We’ve gathered games into six specific categories, to help people with their wishlists. Since its still a bit early, some quality games have been released only recently or still haven’t been released yet. So each category is going to have a wildcard title in bold that still has a lot of potential as a quality present.
So without further ado, let’s help you pick out a present!
