Bust A Move (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: 505 Games


I think I must be missing something here. I bought the game after reading great reviews of it, but to me it just seems to be endless screens of the same old thing.

You have to match bubbles to make groups of more than three. You fire the bubbles using a charactrer that holds a sling shot.

That's about it? Or have I missed something???!

Imagine Pet Vet (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Ubisoft

October 12, 2007
My daughter(8) finished this after approx 6 weeks of casual play, seemed to enjoy what appears to be a glorified tamagotchi. It's a very simplistic 'pet hospital' management game, targeted at the younger gamer. The player is in charge of the family practice, complete with extortionate fees (realistic in this sense, I guess).

Punters arrive with sick animals (starting with cats), a diagnosis requires playing a few mini games, based on scribbling, blowing, copying and the usual DS antics. Nothing like Trauma Centre's operating theatre, though, just removing the odd flea, sticking a thermometer in various places, following ECG traces, etc. The animal is then housed in a pen, til it gets better, through patient aftercare and recovery, ...

Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Nintendo

January 25, 2008
After the slightly disappointingly bloated Dual Strike, this is a brilliant return to form. The dual-screen and outrageous commander powers are out, the emphasis is back on simple game mechanics and complex strategy!

New features to be aware of:
-your commander is now inside a unit and his power meter only goes up when damage happens in his vicinity; this greatly reduces the emphasis on commander powers and is in my opinion a good thing
-units earn one experience point after each victory, up to three points; more experience means higher attack and defence ratings
-new units such as motorcycle infantry, missile boats and planes that can attack ground and air units add to the strategic options available
-battleships ... Read More:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (Nintendo DS)

from: Square Enix

March 30, 2008
The Final Fantasy series is one of the most popular games of it's kind. It also houses countless spin offs, The Crystal Chronicles series is one of them.Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates is the newest addition to the series the story centres around the fraternal love between twins Yuri and Chelinka who lose their mother, they go on a journey and meet a whole host of interesting and unique characters.My first impressions of this was that I knew I was gonna enjoy this (alot more than FFIII, which I do love but thought was too slow)with the custom-made weapons which made it alot more fun and the graphics are amazing even the music is pretty good.The bad parts, even though you have 3 other characters fighting with you, they don't always fight I was on ...

Pony Friends (Nintendo DS)

...........isn't a bad game,however could be ALOT better. Firstly, there aren't many things you can do per day. Also, the game can get slightly boring. I think 6-9 year-old girls will enjoy it. All you do in it is look after a pony,clean it and take it on rides.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Nintendo

March 16, 2007
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All is the sequel to the courtroom Drama Ace Attorney.

First, lets look at gameplay: Talking Talking and talking. The whole structure of the game is built around it! Probably the only reason I like this game is beacause I LOVE reading. If your into games like Mario and Sonic and Poke'mon Pearl and Diamond, stop reading this review and look at something else.
There are two types of modes, Investigation and trial. In Investigation mode you can examine the crime scene for evidence, question witnesses and break Psche Locks. More about Psche locks in a minute.

Courtroom mode involves Cross-Examining witnesses, presenting evidence and solving the case. This involves my favourite part shouting "Objection!" "Hold it!" ... Read More:

Age of Mythology Gold Edition (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Microsoft

October 08, 2004
i love aom. i dont usualy play game storylines if the game is multiplayer, this is no acception. the game may look bad playing supremacy . but online the game is AMAZING!! the mapmaker is just second to none , and there are maps online like river civilisation, where there are island, there are zelda games, which are similiar to riv civ ones, but a bit worse, and there are alot more. This game is great, however i think the the expansion pack is EXTREMELY unfair. firstly, the atlanteans are too good, they cannot be beeten if u dont kill them within 15 minutes, simply because there god powers and infantry and there ability to make infantry into heroes, is just unbeatable. I never god titans, because it makes your base a target for enemys, and even if you do get one, they take up quite a alot of population. ... Read More:

Super Princess Peach (Nintendo DS)

Easy to play and good fun, this is a good "entry level" game for young players - probably ages 6-9. Our daughter (8) loves it. Easy enough not to be frustrating for young players, but with enough challenge to be satisfying. Very good.

Leather Type Games Case: Black (DS Lite)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Hori

January 26, 2007
I purchased the white case and posted my original comment in October 2007. The following comments are still relevant for this product. The only thing I would add is to ensure the card slot of the DS is facing towards the spine of the case, especially if a card is still inserted into the DS. Otherwise the case strap can release the card from the DS.

Original Comments...
I purchased this thinking that it was a case for the Nintendo DS Lite. When I received it I was surprised to read on the packaging that this is "NOT to be used as a case for your games console. It should only to be used to store the game cards and accessories". I was a little bit confused because this case is the same size and width as a unit and it fits in perfectly. I thought that maybe the comments referred to the original ... Read More:

Baby Pals (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: THQ

March 07, 2008
Bought for my 9 year old who likes Nintendogs and loved playing Babyz on the pc. We were going to pick Imagine Babies but this seemed a better choice as it was about Baby care and not housework! She's only had it a while but is very pleased. The ability to select the skin tone, size, shape and hair for the baby is a great bonus. The graphics are not stunning but when you are that age who cares! There appear to be lots of clothes to "unlock" too as well as toys. The recipe making is similar to Cooking Mama! The instruction manual is clear enough and as she tackles each new task there is a on-screen tutorial. Hopefully this will keep her engaged for a long while as she can do what she wants and not wait a while to do things like on Nintendogs. Bonus for me was that she can look after more than one baby. Only one ... Read More:
