If anyone happened to catch our recent review of the DS-exclusive first-person shooter C.O.R.E, you'll know that Popzara appreciates a good effort from dedicated developers. Its an exercise few are willing to undergo in this age of high-powered consoles and nearly unlimited storage capacity. Of course, neither of those advantages are with the aging Nintendo DS platform, which only helps make the rare technological achievement more commendable.
That said, the upcoming Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is easily the most visually impressive game I've ever seen on the DS, as though developer Big Blue Bubble has managed to squeeze previously unseen powers from the console. Why this game hasn't gathered more attention from the mainstream gaming press is mind-boggling, and while we'll have to wait until the final release to see if the overall adventure can live up to its debut trailer, what's on display is simply amazing.
Look for Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain to hack 'n slash your Nintendo DS this Fall!
