Deal Or No Deal (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Mindscape

November 09, 2007
I see most people agree with me on this...

The theory/idea's there, make a game of the great show most love. But they have put absolutely no effort to make it.

the music is terrible, low quality (partly thanks to the low capacity on DS) and at some points isn't even the same as the show, the stupid characters look VERY strange and you get the stupid things they get Noel to say, trying to immitate his philosophical phrases... badly.

The keypad used to be the banker (and to enter your name) is inaccurate - I found myself offering £1-

Despite the lowest box being 1p, you can only get a minimum of £1 (probably because the people who made this found it easier to just use pounds... lazy)

Betty Boop's Double Shift (DS)

I played this game today. I played it for about 45 mins. It was dull and slow. You wait tables and then hit a few keys in some kind of night singing. Graphics and game play are really poor.
Reminds me of a very old game where you can only walk slowly and to only certain places.
I will not be playing it again.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Konami

Being able to control two characters, however drab is a nice feature. It hardly makes up for the pathetic storyline, but at least it mixes things up a little. As usual from the DS 'vania games, expect more generic anime art and recycled monsters.

On the bright side, the ability to jump into paintings takes the scenery to exciting and different new places. Better than Dawn of Sorrow, but still pretty rubbish.

Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Rising Star Games

March 27, 2009
Lets face it, Harvest Moon: DS was pants. Compared to the classics on the original Gameboy, the Gameboy Color and the GBA, the DS version was just a rehash, didn't make any use of the technology and was generally buggy.

Rune Factory is what the DS version of Harvest Moon should have been. Keeping the core elements of the series, Rune Factory (RF) adds in traditional Action RPG elements like swords, shields, dungeons and monsters. Players can play through without killing a single monster and can play through without planting a single crop (though fishing might help). It's made by the same people that produce the main series, so it's certainly true to form.

There is a fair bit of humour in this, and long standing fans of the series ... Read More:

Postman Pat (Nintendo DS)

My daughter who is 3, got this yesterday and she loves it, though some of the mini games are a little too hard, she does seem to be picking them up!

There are 10 mini games overall and 2 settings easy and hard and mostly require the stylus with one or two using both the stylus and the microphone, there the tricky ones that she can't quite master!

Again this is a short game, but at £14.98 is a lot better value than some other mini game based games!

Spider-man: Friend or Foe (Nintendo DS)

My lad played this game for 2 hours and was really enjoying it. The problem was he completed the game in that time. He is not a prolific gamer so those of you who take this seriously could probably do this a lot quicker. My boy is 12 and had bought this game out of his own money and felt really disapointed and that he had wasted his money

Mario Slam Basketball (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Nintendo

February 16, 2007


This is a good basketball game, fun to play and very easy to get to grips with. The basic basketball skills can be mastered very quickly however the more complex moves take a little more practice but are satisfying when you get them right.

There are lots of differnt 'courts' available to play on, each with their own little characteristics and of course all the famous Mario characters are availble to play with (Such as Mario, Bowser, Luigi etc) as well as a few from the Final Fantasy universe.

My only critisim of the game is that it is very very easy to learn, i've only had the game a few hours and already I can beat the more advanced teams so it has the potential to get boring a little quickly. Also you can't actually play ... Read More:
