Say good-bye to Mom for the next few weeks. PopCap Games recently released the sequel to its insanely popular downloadable puzzle game Bejeweled. The original gem-matching puzzler rocketed to fame among casual players, a segment overwhelmingly dominated by middle-aged women.

Bejeweled 2 presses all this audience’s buttons with New Age soundtracks and visuals and a new relaxing Endless mode that lets you “play for eternity and collect jewelry.” We don’t know what that means either, but suffice to say that the launch of Bejeweled 2 is like Doom 3 for soccer moms. Don’t even think about asking to borrow her PC until spring.

A Guide of What’s Available for the NintendoDS System

If you’re looking for a game system that comes with a butt-load of inexpensive games, you come to the right place. No other gaming system on the market today hosts as many games at such low prices as the handheld NintendoDS System. Nor does any other gaming system on the market cater to such a young audience.

More appropriate for young gamers than teens or adults, NintendoDS games bring back the SuperMario flavor that we’ve all come to love. Pokemon is still as strong as ever with this system as well, however we’ve noticed a few new games (and types of games) thrown into the mix too.

This article describes some of the accessories and games available for this particular sytem that everyone can enjoy.

The NintendoDS System
This isn’t your regular GameBoy system of yesteryear. The new NintendoDS System has a high-powered flat, folding handheld gaming device complete with bright color touch screen technology.

NintendoDS Accessories
Like the games that this system plays, its accessories are just as plentiful, fully appreciated by the serious gamer on the go. You can get a headset for those quiet moments, and sport your system in a small Duo Game Case, Ultimate Leather Case, or G-pak Organizer Black for quick trips or for storage. Also, you can stock up on a multitude of accessories encased in a convenient player pack or settle for quick emergency fixes with the value kit. Recharging is a breeze on a glow deck.

If Unreal Tournament 3 gameplay feels strikingly similar to that of its previous iteration, it’s because UT3 is pretty much the same game wrapped in a fancy new graphics engine. Not that we’re complaining, since Epic arguably achieved death match perfection with its 2004 classic. We’re more peeved that we waited so long for UT3, only to find several of our favorite multiplayer modes missing, including Assault and Onslaught.

Go for your Unreal Tournament III now

Capcom’s excellent Devil May Cry franchise has finally made the transition to the current generation of consoles, and aside from some lengthier-than-usual load times and an initial 20-minute-plus installation of sorts on the PS3, the results are stellar.

In a nutshell, DMC4 serves up everything you’ve enjoyed in the first three games, including blisteringly fast third-person action that unfolds with operatic grace, scads of cool enemies and ginormous bosses, and a healthy dose of attitude. You are still graded on how well you complete each level, and you still collect monster drops and spend them like currency in upgrading your weapons and skills.

One design/story item that may leave some players scratching their heads a bit is the respective amounts of time you’ll spend playing as Dante and the new character, Nero. Of course, having payables other than Dante is nothing new, nor is having characters that look very similar to Dante, but Dante’s role in DMC4 is something more of a cameo than a lead, evoking shades of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Nero’s new weapons and abilities are a nice change of pace, however, and the game looks and sounds brilliant. One of Capcom’s biggest franchises is back with a vengeance.

If you’ve ever had that dream where all the awesome things you love are in one place, but everything is a little hazy and it all ends too soon when you wake up, you’ll have a good idea what playing Lost Planet is like. This ported Xbox 360 game is packed to the brim with enough giant insects, killer worms, armored mechs, and glorious explosions to enthrall any science fiction geek. Its only major shortcoming is that all of this awesomeness is crammed into a package that’s all too brief.

The setting for this third-person bug smashing romp is E.D.N. III, an ice-covered planet that foolish humans tried to colonize once upon a time. After their first attempt to conquer both the icy elements and native inhabitants (the bugs) failed miserably, the original colonists eventually resorted to piracy to survive. Yes, they’re snow-faring pirates—this game is that cool. As Wayne, you not only pump rifle rounds into hundreds of roaring bugs and pesky pirates but also fend off attacks from the evil NEVEC corporation, which is hell-bent on terra forming the planet in another attempt to make it inhabitable.

While unraveling the conspiracy behind NEVEC’s operation, we blew our way through 10 missions that traversed snow covered mountains, snow-covered caves, and abandoned snow-covered ghost towns. Though the frosty theme blanketed most of the environments, the variety of opponents, weapons, and mechs mixed up the fights sufficiently to keep us entertained. The levels are actually timed to a certain extent, as a thermal-energy meter slowly drains as you move and take damage. Vanquished bugs and pirates drop gooey puddles of thermal energy, but I always found that I had more than enough to complete most levels at a comfortable pace.
