Not rubbish at all. Ok, so its not a game you'd buy to play on its own and you can play it freely with a piece of paper and a pen but its a great little social experiment and hella fun with a large group of people.

I went to the park on Friday with my sister, missus and a few mates and i managed to leech the cafe wifi to download and play and the end results were hilarious. Its great how it saves them as well as letting you carry on an unfinished game.
a solid 3/5 from me.

I hope everybody has been spending their free points on Code.

There's no point in hoarding them, Code is as good as it gets (for the forseeable future).

Yeah, Code's brilliant. Spent a bit more time with it yesterday and it's one of the best Art Style games to date. Certainly in the top three (along with Cubello and the awesome collapsing-roof nightmare that is Nalaku).

Eurogamer gives the DSi Ware line-up a bit of a mauling (apart from Code):

Paper Plane - 2/10
Code - 7/10
Wario - 5/10
Aquite - 3/10

That's a little harsh on Aquite. And Code, actually. It's easily an 8.

US gets Dr Mario Express on DSi ware. Chances are we'll get it on Friday too. Might consider getting it if it has online.

The write-up on Code is really positive. The score seems like a bit of an afterthought.

I've got an issue with my DSi: the image on bottom screen appears to slope downwards to the right. I can't work out if the whole screen is crooked, if it's the black border round the edge that isn't even, or if it's my imagination. It's only slight but it's really hard to ignore now I've noticed it. Anyone else had this?

I did a quick check while on the loo this morning.

There's a Football game (500pts)...is that new?

Yeah, right after posting I looked at Wikipedia - the football game was the only addition today.

Dr. Mario is still TBA.

You got my hopes up.

Now I'll always look up to you, because you let me down.

It was 500pts while I was on the pooper. I'm sure.

Trust me, it's 800 points. And if they've dropped the price since last night, I'll be having words with Nintendo.

I know I saw Chrono Trigger pre-owned for £14.99 near me, but I can't remember where/can't find it

Well, I sent my DSi back to Play and the replacement's just arrive (HDN left it in my garden recycling bin! :evil: ) and.... the top screen very obviously leans downwards to the left and the rubbery surround on the bottom screen is warped along the top edge so the screen doesn't look rectangular.

I'm really disappointed in the build quality of the DSi, especially given the price premium. :evil:
