Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Natsume, Inc.

August 14, 2007
I must say I wasn't sure if I was going to like this game when I first purchased it. The idea of a not so peaceful harvest moon seemed a bit more realistic so I decided to give it a shot. Once I started playing I found that I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed the challenge of the caves and the ability to grow all types of crops year round in each cave. The animals on my farm are a bit creepy though...lol.

I never got very far into creating your own weapons and items. I plan on going back and trying to revisit the game before the sequel comes out.

I couldn't give the game 5 stars; I still like the HM DS better, but this is very close. I look forward to the sequel.

My whole family loves Super Mario Bro. for the DS so we bought this. VERY disappointing. Nothing like super Mario very hard to play and figure out. Never play it waste of money

Final Fantasy Tactics A2

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

June 24, 2008
Square-Enix has been churning out games after games for their most popular franchises. So it is not surprising to have a sequel to the extremely popular Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on GBA a few years ago. Same as the previous Tactics games, the world is set in Ivalice as part of the Ivalice Alliance series.

A2 inherited quite a number of features from its predecessors in the Ivalice world - a whole array of ridiculously diverse job classes with different degree of customisation. What added to the system of A2 is the new job class that are related to FF XII, which introduced the green magick category for now the new class Green Mage. Also all the summons or espers in FF XII are now back in A2 but instead of assigning them on the ... Read More:

The World Ends With You

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

April 22, 2008
I've played this game for a while now. And I'll say it is one of the best story driven and rpg in the game for the DS. With a manga themed way for the characters to comunicate through the story is truly a good decision. An the music is some of the best I have ever heard in any hand held. You'll probibley get at least 30 to 40+ hours. The story stars a 15 year old teenager named Neku that loses his memory. As you go through the story he understands what happend and how he end up in a game to save his life.The only gripe i have for it is the one memory block game storage.But you can replay the parts you like and skip the one's you hate. To put it all down the game is great with a colerful cast and a great stylus driven controls.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness

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

April 20, 2008
Pros:

+A Surprisingly Interesting Story
+Very Colorful
+Tons of Missions

Cons:

-Bland Dungeon Designs
-Repetitive Gameplay
-Very Stale and Boring Gameplay
-Far too easy
-Not too big on the graphics
-A Very slow story

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team (Or Red, depending on which version you had) was not exactly a great game. While it sold very well, it wasn't even close to touching the surface of what other traditional Pokemon games have done. Blue and Red Rescue Team weren't that exciting, they had boring gameplay, were incredibly repetitive and just all around bland. Sadly, Chunsoft didn't really do a whole lot to improve a severely flawed game. In fact, it ... Read More:

Clubhouse Games

Club House games is a great little DS game. In the one game there are plenty of games to keep you occupied and playing for hours. Play locally with one game card or go online and play with friends or strangers. Really the single player experience here will work whether you're commuting on the bus or just lying on your couch at home bored. There are 42 games in this purchase, you can't go wrong and you'll be playing it over and over with plenty of replay value. Great for those nights that you can't sleep!

My Weight Loss Coach

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

June 24, 2008
The game in itself is cute and entertaining. It does well in suggesting challenges to get moving and actually thinking about what you're eating, but it has definite room for improvement.

I was aghast when it told me I was in a healthy BMI range. I know from experience that I'm healthiest and at my fittest weighing 30lbs less than I do now, so I had to actually lie to the game to make it suggest weight loss goals to me. I had to tell the game I was 30lbs heavier than I am, and 2 inches shorter. I don't think a game should decide for you if you should lose or maintain weight; that should be a personal decision and you should be able to adjust goals accordingly.

The way of keeping track of calories is pretty cute, selecting options from a ... Read More:

Puzzler Collection

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

August 05, 2008
Well it's not a lie, but it's more of a bait-and-switch kind of thing. The box says it has 2000 puzzles which makes you think you're getting a whole range of puzzles -- actually it has only 4 puzzle types. I played through the whole thing in maybe 3 hours and it was only mildly entertaining.

There are lots of great puzzle games out there - this is not one of them.
