Final Fantasy IV- Review (DS)
Just what is a perfect game? What defines perfection? Veterans of console gaming, especially those who have been spoiled by the high sheen graphics of the current gen HD consoles would probably say that a game that is technically accomplished to the extent that its visuals, sound and story presentation are so good that they cannot be bested, is a perfect game. It would probably surprise many, as a result, to learn that the closest thing to perfection I have played all this generation is not on the Xbox 360 or the PS3. It’s not even on the Wii.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized comes as a genuine surprise. It is the best shooter on the Nintendo DS, though that is nothing special, seeing as how shooters on the system are generally disappointing.

Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story – Review (DS)
Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, is a prime example of incredible fan service tied in neatly with great accessibility. It represents the perfection that most other games have yet to achieve. It blends conventions with progress fan service with accessibility, RPG’s with platformers, and it does so in a manner that isn’t likely to be forgotten any time soon.
