  • Abstract:  Take with FoodThe Nintendo DS isn't a system that's hurting for RPG content, but you can't pass up on Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It's lighthearted, but packed with personality and content. Let yourself become one with Bowser's digestive sys...

  • Beautiful 2D graphics, solid combat, everything Fawful does and says is awesome
  • Too much mandatory button-mashing, feels gimmicky at points
