Spore Creatures (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Strategy
from: Electronic Arts

September 05, 2008
First of all, I've played both "Spore" for PC, and "Spore Creatures" for DS. Spore Creatures wins hands down. Without even taking into account the whole DRM thing, this is much more enjoyable.
It plays similar to any RPG - complete goals, retain health, improve yourself through collecting and improving - but has quite a nice story to go with it, your creature's friend has been kidnapped by an alien and you need to find him. The animations are pretty cute, there are buyable cheats through game points, and it's generally good, clean fun. Anyone from the age of 8 should get on with this just fine, although the fighting isn't explained very well to begin with.
The playtime is also fairly long as well, I've spent more time on this than ... Read More:

Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise (Nintendo DS)

from: THQ

I played this game shortly on Xbox 360 and I wanted it ever since. I wasn't going to buy the Microsoft console for just one game so I was delighted to know it was coming on Nintendo DS. Compared to the Xbox the pinatas are less cute but it is compensated by more playability with a drop down screen. The game is really addictive and unlike animal crossing or nintendog, this is more challenging; when the nasty pinatas start infecting your garden with diseases, you have got to find a solution fast. Always a million things to think about, between which plants to grow, to attract which pinata without it being eaten by a pinata you have already...
Lots of hours of fun to come!

I got this for my daughter from the states and I haven't heard a peep out of her for days - she absolutely loves it. Personally, I think that the cover is quite possibly the finest work of art I have ever seen.

I know that there are a lot of these games out there but this one seems to stand out. I recommend it to anyone with children. It could be a real life saver this summer.

The Sims 2: Castaway (Nintendo DS)

I enjoy this game. I currently have three sims playing through as I created a new one each time I became a little stuck. I've created new things on each occasion and they have all had differing results so far & as yet I haven't finished the whole thing with any character. I like the game on the ds, controls are very easy, instructions are easy to follow. A good game to generally while away a few hours.

Sid Meier's Civilization: Revolution (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Strategy
from: Take 2 Interactive

August 29, 2008
I have the xbox 360 version and I thought portable civ rev would be great. I dont mind having cut down graphics but the gameplay just isnt as polished as on the xbox version. For example, on the view cities screen you dont see a grid with all the cities named, with production, gold, science & culture totals. You have to scroll and click on each city to find out their totals. I also didnt like not being able to see the units fortifying the city from within the city screen.
But THE KILLER for me is the interface glitches - during one game a sub got stuck and I couldnt move it at all for like 5 turns. Another example is a stack of ships next to an enemy city and another ship below the stack - I could not select the single ship at all.

The Sims 2: Apartment Pets (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Strategy
from: Electronic Arts

August 29, 2008
Rubbish game. Not much different to Sims2 - Pets which is also rubbish. You can't go anywhere else but the Apartment and the Spa. Very repetative. I thought this would be like Sims 2 or Castaway where you had tasks to work through but no it's just doing the same stuff to the same animals over and over again. Very boring & not worth the money, I would not recommend.

I Did It Mum: Girls (Nintendo DS)

One of the best games out for pre school children to play on DS. Easy to understand games, fairly simple instructions and no reading required to get started. Games like pairs work just like the card games and my 4 year old played only this game for months before moving on to some of the harder DS games. Well worth the money and a game your little one can play for ages on her own while you put your feet up for a well earned rest.
