NDS Gaming

I'm hooked on my NDS! Any spare moment I get I'm playing games on it! (Ask my beloved, I don't think he's very impressed with the whole thing.....) What I love most about Nintendo is their ability to think out of the box. It makes the DS so much more fun with regards to interaction.

Take for example Cooking Mama 2. A wonderful simple but oh so fun game where you prepare a variety of dishes. From chopping up veggies to breaking eggs, mixing dough, cleaning fish, cooking rice and so much more, you really get to use the touch screen and stylus in a variety of ways. And then when boiling something and physically having to blow on the DS microphone so that it doesn't boil over! It makes it so much easier to get totally drawn in and makes the experience so different!


Another fantastic game is the Nintendo Dogs. I got a little black Labrador on mine. She is so adorable, if a little bit naughty at times!! The great thing about this is the voice recognition. Yup, that's right, after naming your puppy you can actually call her name and she will respond. She'll come running up to the screen barking and eager to find out why you called her. There's a number of commands and tricks that you can teach your puppy, having your own unique voice command connected to each one so you can talk to your puppy to make her do things! And have I mentioned they are CUTE? Pressing those little paws up against the screen!!

There are so many games for the DS and they are super fun to play. The fact that I can take my DS anywhere with me makes it even better! The fun innovative ways to interact with the DS makes it a clear winner in my books!
