42 All-Time Classics (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Board- Card and Casino
from: Nintendo

September 29, 2006
I just got this game today and am hooked already. As an older Nintendo fan (40 something), I don't play all the shoot 'em up or beat the clock type games. I like games that I can play at my leisure and think about. This is definitely the one to have. Got it hooked up to my wireless internet easily and was playing backgammon with someone in no time. It's not one of those games where once you play to the end, you're done. Lots of variety and I'm sure it will keep me entertained for hours, days, even months to come.

Mahjongg (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Board- Card and Casino
from: Deep Silver

September 19, 2008
I love Mahjongg so this was perfect for me when I got a new DS Lite. You can play it for ages and just not realise the time. I am in my 30's and it has to be taken away from me in the end LOL.
Not only are there games against the clock, you can also play games at your own speed with no pressure.
There is also a quest where you follow a story and play along the way - although some of this is restricted with time which is not so good if you are a beginner.
Just dont play it on the bus going home - u might miss your stop.

Solitaire: Ultimate Collection (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Board- Card and Casino
from: Deep Silver

April 11, 2008
This is a pretty good game, with a huge selection of different varieties of patience, all customisable according to preference, e.g. number of cards turned over at once, number of times allowed to go through pack.

One small flaw, however, is that it doesn't allow different user profiles to be set up, meaning that the stats for games played are based on all games played, by anybody. Also, the cards are, by necessity, pretty small on the screen, so if you need reading glasses, you'll have to wear them for this.

Very intuitive to play - an older relative with no video-game experience was able to pick it up and play it with no instruction. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys either real-life or computer ... Read More:

Top Trumps: Dr Who (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Board- Card and Casino
from: Eidos

May 16, 2008
This game is very boring for 6-9 years. I'm a big fan of doctor who,
but I'm disappointed. If you've got top trumps you can get bored with it
after 2 days.I finished all the levels after 3 days. When this game came out, I really wanted it, but now I wish i'd never bought it! Theres no
use unlocking the minigames, because you will have already done them on the bonus rounds after each level!

Chessmaster 11 (Nintendo DS)

The computer software is great but was very disappointed by the DS version. The main concern is that the opponent level is quite poor. It will be good for kids (until a certain point) and people who wants to learn the game.
It would be nice to have a more advanced version.
