Well, it was deceptive to me. I knew nothing about Fractured Soul before watching this video and my first thought was that this was some sort of mediocre download title (or a pretty impressive Xbox Live Indie Game). Imagine my surprise when it zooms out to show the dual-screen action and I realize that it's actually a promising DS game.
I know that this isn't the first game to make use of both screens in such a manner, but that's a good thing. It's a concept that we do not see nearly often enough. Honestly, I'm a little bit surprised that there aren't more games which do this. I would have thought it obvious, but maybe there are concerns about disconnect between the two screens because of their separation. I'm just spitballing here, but I can see that being an issue.
Anyway, I want to see more Fractured Soul. It appears to have excellent potential.

Also, this was on Destructoid a while back. How dare you not have an encyclopedic knowledge of Destructoid's history, Zimmerman! Good to know it hasn't disappeared though.
Either the game is good or bad, not "oh, well... since it's on system A, it's cool, but if it was on system B, then it is shit".

It was a really good idea, but poorly execute, because it was hard as hell to watch both screens at once. Hope this one is better.
