  • Here is a game trailer for a new DS game due to be released on June 30th, Soul Bubbles. The animation and game play in the trailer look pretty interesting. Does the fact that the game received a gold award from The Official Nintendo Magazine give the game an automatic seal of success? This game looks to be a very interesting and possibly frustrating puzzle game getting through mazes while dealing with all the forces that can effect a bubble. Like the asian feel to the game as if each character has a unique bubble style. Kind of like the characters in the movie Kung Fu Panda. Any way enjoy the game trailer and leave your opinions after the trailer.
