Are you seeing a few more titles in your game closet after the holiday season? I know I am, which is great, since it's so cold, I don't want to leave the heat of my Xbox 360 to go outside! This month, it's all about the DS, with three out of five of my picks going to the portable system.

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.
