With the successful
Wii Fit just celebrating its first birthday, Nintendo is ready to debut a new fitness game to the world by February of next year. Walk With Me! for DS portable gaming devices makes walking fun by allowing players to gain points for each step they take.
I have a lot of friends that house a makeshift recording studio in their apartments, complete with all kinds of music making software and goodies. So of course I have to take the liberty to represent the audiophiles out there that are into DIY music making! Check out this slideshow for some awesome gift ideas to help your at-home musician make beautiful music in the coming year.
Get ready, get set, because Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party by Ubisoft will be making its way to our hearts and our homes just in time for the holiday season. Designed for the Nintendo Wii and DS, this fun game offers a variety of wacky mini-games that spoof popular culture and test your skill and insane movement talents! Two of my favorite Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party games include the ski hill game where you get to sit on the Wii Balance Board and steer with your butt as you go down a ski slope (as you encounter obstacles and try to gain points) and the dancing game where you get your groove on and follow the moves on the screen with your wiimote to get points!
The first title in Nintendo's Personal Trainer series for the Nintendo DS, Personal Trainer: Cooking, makes whipping up recipes fun and easy! I had the chance to check it out last week in action and I must admit, I'm an avid cook, but with Personal Trainer: Cooking, it's like having your very own personal chef with you in the kitchen! Acting as an interactive cookbook, with this game you can access over 240 recipes from around the world and a private cooking instructor will provide video demonstrations and talk you through any recipe you choose.
I got a surprise visit the other day from a detective and a street cop. Needless to say, it kinda freaked everyone out having an intimidating looking guy flash his badge and ask for me by name! But thankfully, they weren't here to toss me in the slammer, they were here to recruit me to play a new mystery game called Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir.
During my
interview with Ocean Quigley, Art Director for Spore, I mentioned to him that I hated calling this a game, cause it's much more like a tool for creativity. And after playing Spore every spare moment I could muster for three days straight, I can attest to that statement as being true. It's more than a game (although some will say it's not really a "game" at all), it's a lesson in evolution and a brand new way to watch something you've created come to life.
I spy with my little eye, something shiny and sparkly! In this week's issue of
Life & Style, Molly Sims was caught showing off her bling'd out white Nintendo DS (one of my
favorite portable devices ever) at a recent event. We're
giving away our own white DS, but lucky Molly has had hers covered with black and pink crystals in the shape of a sexy pump.
My Nintendo DS knows the contours of my thumbs very well — why shouldn't it know the contours of my face? In late November, when Project Beauty launches, it will. Project Beauty, the result of
a collaboration between Shiseido and Nintendo DS, is a DS game that will recognize your face from a scan, and will then make beauty product recommendations for you (probably Shiseido products).
Remember the days of
Super Mario where running, jumping, and spitting fireballs was the ultimate in fun? Space Chimps brings a bit of that nostalgia back, with this easy, breezy game
based on the movie of the same name, but doesn't quite make it to Mario levels of awesome.
It's obvious that this title was aimed at the kiddie gamers with its endless life stock and simple controls, but I have to give Space Chimps credit — it is kinda fun.
At first glance, one may assume that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have nothing better to do during lunch outings then play with their matching
DS Lites, considering they do
like to play twinsies every now and then. The truth of the matter, which is even more farfetched than my previous assumption, is that they were meeting with a gaming coach from the all-female gaming team
Fragdolls and getting a private lesson on the DS. Could this be the beginning of the
Heidi and Spencer video game?
