  • When the Nintendo DS (Dual-screen) came out with its first games, my first thought was that it was very bulky and would only have 3D Games that I don’t like that much. However, a few factors are changing my mind.

    • A new version of the DS is coming in a month or two that will be better looking, thinner, lighter and have brighter screensgame
    • A lot of new upcoming games are going to mix classic 2D playing style with 3D graphics.

    Here are a couple of screenshots of the new Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and Final Fantasy III over which I have been drooling for a few days.

  • After getting a first article published in the April issue of Québec Micro, I have landed four articles in the May issue of the Montréal-based computer magazine. You can read the magazine online or pick it up for free at one of the distribution points around Montréal. My articles are on pages 9, 10, 26 and 33 of the issue.

    Another article that I submitted was posted on their web site here

    I am really enjoying writing for these guys and seeing my articles in print. Hopefully I will be able to keep doing this for some time :)
