Touch Darts -- That's a Command

Continuing right along in our developing string of write-ups on games bound to sell only to the uninformed and cheap, today we bring you all the information you could possibly ever want on the newest game from Agetec, Inc.: Touch Darts. And we're worried about what GTA4 is doing to kids when games like this exist, blatantly telling commanding our children to touch sharp things? To shame! Either way, just like regretful Agetec titles Cookie & Cream and Puzzle Guzzle before it, Touch Darts sets out to entertain through mini-games and kid friendly themes (though the vast majority of dart playing in this country takes place in 21+ bars...) while simultaneously creating a game that isn't necessarily perfect on a Nintendo DS. If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: don't use the touch screen/microphone on the DS unless it makes sense.


Either way, according to Agetec (we feel as though they at least deserve to say their piece), "This game will make you feel as if you were really in your living room, at your friend’s house, in the pub, or in a tournament tossing darts." We're going to go all the way crazy here and guess that even if Rockstar Games themselves developed this title, ain't no way a Nintendo DS is going to emulate the pub. Maybe if there was an old drunk blowing smoke through the DS' speakers? We digress. As you can see to the right, the two tiny screens are more than chock full of information (and a watermark, thanks IGN), providing you with all pertinent information required for a real game of video darts. All in all, though this game very well may be a diamond in the rough, we're putting our money on the other pony -- any other pony -- this time. However, if you are interested, Touch Darts will be released in North America in June. Me? I'll be at the bar with Brucie, tossing darts a little differently.
