Hotel Dusk: Room 215 for DS

Review: I really enjoyed Hotel Dusk Room 215. I really like mystery, detective type of games. I was not disappointed here. First thing you'll notice, is the way you hold the DS. Its like a book, with the hinges vertical. You play Kyle Hyde, a sales man...

Review: The Nintendo DS has made its name not with traditional game software but with 'niche' non-games that push the boundaries. A couple years ago Nintendo and Japanese developer Cing released Trace Memory, an interactive novel of sorts (or,...

Pros: Graphics are good Gameplay is well done. The story is intriguing. The puzzles are easy.

Cons: The dialogue seems a bit off.

The Bottom Line: I enjoyed this game and would highly recommend it to anyone with a DS.
