Gamertell Review: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for DS
Like many of its predecessors, this is a strange story starring a little guy in a green, elfish suit wielding a sword (called Link, of course) and a princess (Zelda) that needs to be rescued, though not quite in the princess-in-another-castle way. This time there is a mysterious train and… Continue Reading »

Gamertell Review: Katamari Forever for PS3
The weirdness that is the sticky ball Katamari game franchise is not easy to convey. It’s wacky, mostly incomprehensible yet inexplicably enjoyable.

Gamertell Review: MySims Agents for Wii
When I heard about MySims Agents, I was skeptical.

After playing, I’m pleasantly surprised and… Continue Reading »
