Hamsterz (Nintendo DS)
Customer Review: THIS IS A BRILL GAME !!!
Hi, I would say this is a great game you get to
1 pick your Hamster
2 name it
3 play mini games
4 feed your hamster
5 let it out of its cage
6 connect with your friends
And lots more I would buy this game.
Customer Review: Excellent - for very very young children
This is a very simple game. My child is 4 and a half years old and really really enjoys looking after the hamsters. Initially I thought she would get bored very quickly as she has nintendogs (and can play this well) which I think has a lot more to offer in terms of what you can do with your dog. However, surprisingly, she loves this simple game. This is definitely not suitable for the older child or adult who would get bored after learning how to use it (which doesn’t take long). THIS GAME IS MOST DEFINITELY FOR THE VERY VERY YOUNG CHILD AS ONE OF THEIR FIRST NINTENDO GAMES.

42 All-Time Classics (Nintendo DS) In a nutshell:
Possibly the least obscure game title ever, this does exactly what it says on the tin with forty-two classics from chess and backgammon, to darts, poker, bridge and solitaire.
The lowdown:
The surprising thing about this game is that nobody’s thought to do it before. The games are split into three varieties of card game and two of board games, plus a selection of “action” games including bowling, darts and billiards. Playing the card games is just as easy as you’d expect with two screens and a stylus, whether it’s Old Maid and Pig or Texas Hold `Em and Bridge. The board games work just as well, with Chinese Checkers, Checkers (i.e. Draughts), Dots and Boxes and more. You’ll also find games like Turncoat (i.e. Othello), “Connect Five”, Ludo, Mahjong and Solitaire. You have got to go to some effort not to find something of interest amongst this selection.
Most exciting moment:
The best thing about having so many games is that, except for the ones that are purposefully single player, they can all be played online. If you’re playing against a friend you can even chat using a PictoChat style interface.
Since you ask:
The Japanese and Western versions of the game have several different exclusive games. Japan never got Texas Hold ‘Em, Dots and Boxes, Grid Attack, Ludo, Dominoes, Escape or Mahjong Solitaire but instead have Napoleon, Goninkan, Bozumekuri, Sugoroku, Size Game, Last One and Mini Golf in their version.
The bottom line:
The one video games compendium that really is for everyone. - HARRISON DENT
Customer Review: exactly what it says on the tin good value
Exactly what you would expect, lots of choice of different games, all wel known & loved, no need for tricky game play or reading of instructions. put the card in & off you go- lots of different ones to choose & less likely for you to be bored.
This is a great value for money choice
Customer Review: A Game Compilation For The DS/Lite!!!
This Game Compilation Has 42 Games Including: Poker, Darts, Bowling And Loads More! This Is A Family Game. Ignore The 12+ Rating That’s Just Because Of The Poker Game!!!
You might not see the supporting merchandise so much nowadays but Pokemon is still the most successful games franchise in history. Diamond and Pearl sold 5 million copies in Japan in under three months and 1 million in America in just one month, breaking all records for the year and the series. At first sight though this looks disappointingly similar to the existing games, with only a subtle 3D effect for the game world and largely static 2D battles. However the gameplay has undergone a complete overhaul, adding numerous new features and reintroducing others from Gold/Silver/Crystal, that had previously been removed.
The basics are still the same though, as you venture out into the world (called Sinnoh this time) in an attempt to catalogue each and every pokemon and battle the evil Team Galactic. Catching and training a pokemon for combat also works the same as before, although beauty and talent contests have been greatly expanded for those that prefer as little violence as possible. The game includes a day and night cycle, which severely impacts the appearance of pokemon, and you are given a new gadget called a poketch which starts as a simple watch but can be upgraded to everything from a scanner to a map. Secret bases are back and considerably more sophisticated than before but the most important new feature by far is the online mode. You can now trade, chat and battle with fans from around the world - proving that progress is not always just a case of better graphics. Harrison Dent

Customer Review: Pokemon Pearl and Diamond Review!
Pokemon Pearl and Diamond Review I made this review a while ago and I hope you like it! copy this into your url bar its a video review! uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tkjTH5WtDu8
Customer Review: not your average video game
Pokemon games aren’t enjoyable in quite the same way that other games are. Try to describe the interactive element and it starts to sound like an atrocious, dated experience. And yet somehow it can provide endless entertainment (or at least, more hours than you have time for). Pokemon is not just about the battle mechanics, although you will find more complexity here than meets the eye. Buy a Pokemon game cartridge and you become a collector, on a journey to discover as many new species as you can. The experience is pervasive - captured pokemon can be exchanged with friend’s games like playing cards, and Pokemon tours across the country are used to distribute rare creatures that are unobtainable through regular gameplay, to anyone willing to attend. Your game cartridge is a container for pokemon, but they are more than just digital playing cards. Each one can be groomed, customised and entered in competitions - both physical and aesthetic. Your pokemon transcend the games they appear in, able to follow you to each new version so hours spent training are never lost. Pokemon even transcend generations and consoles; creatures groomed on a GBA can be transferred (when certain requirements have been met) to a DS, and can then even be called upon in the upcoming Wii game “Pokemon Battle Revolution.”
Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends (Nintendo DS) 
In a nutshell:
The ultimate evolution of virtual pet: Nintendogs gives you opportunity to preen and look after a selection of cute puppies in a virtual home, with virtual currency, where you can buy toys and accessories for their enjoyment. You can clean the pups, feed them, walk them, play catch with them, and even talk to them.
The lowdown:
Nintendogs is brimming with character. Each pup looks out from the DS touchscreen and paws longingly. You can respond to your virtual pet’s need of attention by stroking the screen, using items such as balls and brushes with the aid of the stylus, and talking to your dogs through the DS’s inbuilt microphone system. Impressive 3D graphics give lifelike animation to these canine wonders.
Most exciting moment:
After a few attempts to speak commands into the microphone, your puppy understands the meaning of “sit”, barks approval, and sits down. It’s good to talk.
Since you ask:
You can keep three pups in your home at any time. When left to their own devices, they’ll play and play-fight together. And they call this ‘puppy love’.
The bottom line:
A Nintendog is not just for Christmas.

Customer Review: Good at first…
When I bought this game, i had already got dachshund and friends ds game, so I thought it would be nice to have some other dogs too, first, i did buy a dalmation and had fun naming it and taking it for walks, etc, but after that, it kind of got boring, not much to do except walking and buying things and contests, same old record. But still good game, if your a dog lover 
Customer Review: It’s not brilliant but it’s ok
The money is a bit of a problem, and it’s not very clear on how to do the obedience trials. You start off with ?1000 but dogs costt around ?550 so you get stuck for a bit unless you sell some accessories. Maybe they should re-issue the game with a few improvements!

Customer Review: Best game system in the world? Could be.
The Nintendo DS doesn’t need reviews. It’s the biggest selling game system in the world right now and is number 1 in every global marketing territory. It was the first games console to successfully appeal to children, parents, grand parents AND gamers. I’ve owned a lot of hand helds and home consoles and whilst I still feel a bizarre emotional attachment to the GBA SP I have to concede that this is probably the best console I have ever owned. The touch screen just works as a control system and it’s the key to the machines cross-generational appeal. Even my own reluctant Games Widow enjoys Brain Training, the new Tetris and Wario Ware. She said she likes that she doesn’t have to learn what the buttons do if she wants to play on the DS: it’s instinctive. For gamers there are some absolute classic titles available. The DS entries into the Zelda and Mario Kart franchises are among the best both series have ever offered. Sonic and Bleach are much better on the DS then their home console equivalents and Elite Beat Agents is possibly the best music game yet released. Also the DS is the only handheld system currently on the market with a battery life that will see you through a transatlantic flight. My DS also holds a charge much better then my PSP. After a month without touching it my DS still had several hours of power but my PSP runs flat when left alone for a few days. The DS is quite possibly the best system Nintendo have ever made. It certainly has an excellent library of games that will provide years worth of fun for kids and adults alike. I recommend it over any other game system currently available.

Customer Review: Does What It Says On The Tin
The game cannot be faulted at all in providing exactly what is expected - a large number of Su Doku puzzles with an initial tutorial mode for those unfamiliar with the puzle , going all the way up to quite difficult . Game times are kept , and there is a star system based on how quickly the puzzles are completed . Completing the grid is by either writing the numbers in the boxes , or tapping on a panel beside the grid .There is space to actually ‘pencil’ in suggestions for numbers in boxes - I have done this when doing the puzzle in newspapers for instance . So . It’s pretty low on frills , but you get what you want - heaps of puzzles !
Customer Review: A must for Sudoku fans
There are several aspects of this game which make it stand out from other sudoku games. There are two methods for completing the grids, by touching a number pad (this is extremely helpful as a number becomes greyed out when it has been entered in the grid 9 times), or by writing in with the stylus. So you can choose which method suits you best. There are 10 practice sessions where an incorrect entry comes up red which is very good for beginners. There are 400 puzzles ranging from practice, easy, normal and hard and a time record and scoring is kept so you can go back and repeat a puzzle to try and improve on your score. Hours of fun!! You can highlight numbers and lines in the grid to make it easier to see where you have completed. All in all, I totally love this version of sudoku and would recommend it 100% to both sudoku fans and newcomers to sudoku alike.
