Nintendo DS Gets First-Person Shooter Game

The Nintendo DS isn't a platform I normally associate with graphics-intensive gaming. But Graffiti Entertainment showed its C.O.R.E game at the E for All Expo in Los Angeles this weekend, and it looked impressive given the platform it was on.

C.O.R.E. is described as a "classic" style first-person shooter, on the order of Doom or Quake 2. But instead of playing it on a PC, you're playing it on a pocket-sized Nintentdo DS. The game, which carries a Mature rating for its blood and gore violence, will ship in November for $30, and uses a 3D engine to render the graphics. One nifty feature: It supports a four-person multiplayer mode off a single card--just interlink up to four Nintendo DS units to take advantage of this feature.

The company also has Air Conflicts: Aces of World War II coming in November as well. This flight-simulation app for the PlayStation Portable takes you chronologically through 13 campaigns of World War II, and gives you options to fly with any of 17 planes.
