The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Explore a magical world full of creatures and treasure in Orcs & Elves, the award winning mobile game, now available for the Nintendo DS. As a young elf, you'll explore impressive 3-D dungeons, uncovering gold, powerful items and slaughtering a host of abominable creatures. One moment, you'll square off against a rampaging troll, and the next, you'll enjoy a couple pints of ale with a ghost. The game made an excellent transition to the handheld, ditching its 2.5-D engine for attractive 3-D graphics. In addition, Orcs & Elves sports a host of improvements and features, including six new monsters, three new levels, touch screen play and four new spells. Its story makes us sleepy, but the hack-and-slash fighting has us hooked. Highly recommended.
