Bombardier's big DS 650 is a contemporary of Honda's EX, but the rest of the quads in this test came hot on each other's heels after the Raptor appeared in 2001.
The DS 650's hefty claimed dry weight of 490 pounds was suspended by long-travel shocks that gave an exceptionally plush ride.
The "DS" in DS 650 stands for "Dune Sport," so one would intuitively believe it would be a big winner in the loose sandy stuff.

The "Big Brain Academy" is a fictional university run by Dr. Lobe, who will test you to measure the weight of your brain.
I wanted to put this claim to the test, so I lent Big Brain Academy to my mother for her to play on a drive to the airport.
She’s a big fan of logic problems and has been doing them for decades, so I expected her to enjoy Big Brain Academy.

 Big Brain Academy for DS Review - DS Big Brain Academy Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Big Brain Academy is a "brain training" game collection that picks up where Brain Age left off, but the basic idea is the same.
There are a bunch of brief, easy-to-understand minigames to play and practice with, and then you can take a big test that gives you five of the games at random and results in a score and a grade that is meant to correspond to how you think.
The 15 games in Big Brain Academy are broken up into five different categories meant to tax different parts of your intelligence.

 Big Brain Academy (ds: 2006): Reviews
Big Brain Academy doesn’t have all the nuances and support from neuroscientists and other simply brainy things, but in the end—the goal is the same.
Big Brain Academy is a lot of fun, but its ability to improve brain power is probably a little more contrived than with Brain Training.
Despite its collegiate overtone, Big Brain Academy sticks to its grade-school roots by keeping the activities light and colorful, the multiplayer engaging and the price tag low ($20.) But no matter how you dissect it, this is still little more than a series of fairly innocuous tests released just in time for summer vacation.

 [H] Console - Nintendo DS Lite
Internally, the DS and DS Lite are almost identical, it is the completely new design that is the focus of today’s review.
The original DS was big, bulky and to put it bluntly, the big clamshell design was just plain ugly.
Understandably, this has early DS adopters a little hot under the collar that they plunked down as much as $149.99 for the original system only to have it replaced with a much more attractive and compact system.

Finally, the Identify games are visual and include picking out objects when all you can see is their silhouette, filling in a large image with smaller shapes, and picking out matching images.
The test portion of Big Brain Academy is the meat of the game, and offers a fair amount of replay value.
Big Brain Academy is much more of a "game" than its predecessor.

Big Brain Academy for the Nintendo DS is a lot like Brain Age.
In Big Brain Academy, you're not fighting for a low brain age (which I always found to be an EXTREMELY questionable goal).
It's like the Nintendo DS game called Brain Age, except this one comes out a month or so after Brain Age, and it focuses more on multiplayer brain competitions against your friends, while Brain Age is a single player game.

 Finding Nemo: Escape To Big Blue Review / Preview for the Nintendo DS (NDS)
Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue is basically an updated version of the original Finding Nemo game released on the GBA in 2003.
Gamers that have played the original GBA version are going to be a little older and wiser, and if they don't exactly feel betrayed by the similarities, they will certainly experience some degree of déjà vu.
In Escape to the Big Blue, the Tank gang has decided they've have enough of living in a fishbowl in some boring dentist's office.

In that time, McDonald’s tried out a lot of new products, with only Chicken McNuggets catching the world’s fancy, proving that the American public prefers their food to be chopped, reformed, and have a name which resembles something you don’t want to step on in a barnyard.

You also won't hold your DS sideways, nor will you be drawing artful sketches or performing frantic arithmetic on a daily basis.
The minigames are colorful, challenging, and varied enough to stay fun; you'll find yourself gravitating to either those you're really good at, or those where you really need work.
But where Big Brain Academy really gives you a workout is in its multiplayer.

 Next big DS game: Contact? : Soundtrack Central Forums
Personally I think it's going to be a really cool game, but I sort of expected it to be a niche type of thing where I would be one of 5 people in either Japan or America to actually buy it.
Oddly enough, though, I noticed a number of stores in Tokyo this weekend had big "sold out" stickers on the display boxes, leading me to wonder if this might be one of those games that randomly takes off.
Either that or maybe Marvelous didn't ship any copies of the thing and the couple otaku who actually know what the game is bought the only 3 copies in the city...

 Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue (DS) Reviews on Darkstation
But the good news is Escape to the Big Blue does actually change a lot of these conceptions by creating a very innovative and exciting Finding Nemo adventure.
Although I may not be at the core age audience of what this game is aimed towards, I could still appreciate a lot of what this game had to offer, including the transition to a mini game based experience.
To me this is a really good idea for the DS, because it allows a fun way to take advantage of the platform's hardware, something that many games have successfully done and Finding Nemo continues that success.
