Littlest PetShop is a game based on the brand of the same name. The title is targeted at young females and is available in three different versions just like the Nintendogs series. The game involves players unlocking pets, collecting items, playing mini-games and exploring worlds.
Ever had the urge to restore a defeated kingdom to its former glory? Probably not, but if you are one of the few that have had this unlikely desire then maybe you should take a look at MySims Kingdom, as it is a game that gives you the opportunity to rebuild an empire.
It’s not often, if ever, that I have to sit down and come up with an opening line for a game that has absolutely no pedigree whatsoever. The subject of today’s review is an original, standalone title, with no established characters or franchise to provide brand recognition. It is based primarily off a game genre that exists almost exclusively in the realm of internet flash games. Even the game developer, 5th Cell, started out as a mobile phone game developer and has only one other console title to its name- Drawn To Life (DS), which received a lukewarm reception from critics. The game in question is a surprise, an unknown entity, a step into brave new territory- something that usually scares off consumers and makes reviewers more wary than usual.
Electronic Arts’ latest kiddie creation is a game called Zubo, but unlike last year’s MySims, it is instantly obvious that this new trademark has had an extra amount of effort included into it during the development process. Unknowledgeable kids and gamers alike could be in for a treat with Zubo, because for once Electronic Arts has been daring enough to try something different.

If you don’t like Strategy Role Playing Games (SRPG) then you may as well stop reading now. They are an acquired taste. Directing a small amount of units around a grid in turn based battles doesn’t appeal to everyone. So if you don’t like Advance Wars, Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle or Fire Emblem this isn’t going to be the game for you. But for those who love them, keep reading, as this is one of the best.
A long time ago, there was a game called Breakout. It was a game where you had to destroy blocks by moving a paddle back and forth to reflect a moving ball towards the blocks, and as with most games of the time, it spawned many rip-offs and imitations. While the original Breakout game has, let’s be honest, aged terribly, there is one imitator that brought enough new ideas to the table to ensure increased longevity. That game- Arkanoid- has now reached the DS.
