Professor Layton and The Curious Village (Nintendo DS)

I absolutely loved this game. Took me 3 days to complete from beginning to end and finding all the hidden puzzles. I started a new game but it's not so good now as I can remember most of the answers! Would have to be waiting months before picking it up again but will be trading it in as soon as my son has completed his game, he's up to two days and has reached the top of the tower already!

This game is great!
But the bad thing is that the graphics arn't that good their decent.
But you can do sudokus,sums,memory games,eye check,read aloud and much more! If your up for a good challange this I defently recommend!
But I should say that people from about 6 and over would think this game good,but younger would find it diffucult.
BUY THIS GAME!!

More Brain Training (Nintendo DS)

I bought this prior to a family holiday to France. Not having any previous experience of Brain Training, I decided to go for this version rather than the original after reading other reviews, and what a joy it was. I kept the game hidden until we boarded the ferry. When I got it out, I was expecting cries of 'oh no! Not brain training - why did you get that mum??' BUT instead all were delighted, and the whole family, young and old, played it every single day of our trip, and indeed fighted over who's turn it was. I highly recommend this game if you are planning a long journey, or just want to provide your family with some educational entainment that everyone can enjoy that doesnt involve the telly.

Big Brain Academy (Wii)

It's a no-brainer to not buy this fabulous Brain game. This is actually published and partially developed by Nintendo themselves, just like the acclaimed Brain, Maths and Sight Training games on DS and the earlier Big Brain Academy game, also on DS.

Lose yourself in a fun, party adventure, where the teacher is unusually fun and the Wii Remote talks to you, encouraging you.
This is a must have title, like everything Nintendo publish...

Puzzler Collection (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Puzzle
from: Ubisoft

August 01, 2008
This could have been a great game: there are four puzzles, they've been compiled well and there are several modes, allowing you to pick a certain type of puzzle or play what the game throws at you or play puzzles against the clock. Other reviewers have described the puzzles well so I'll move on to the problem.

The problem is that the game has been implemented badly: you often have to select something on the touch screen more than once before it registers that you hit it and the touch screen is often inaccurate - selecting the wrong word or the wrong square.

I wish they'd done a better job of making this game. I still think it's worth playing but it is frustrating when you spend ages trying to select the right item ... Read More:

Good Game,
There is some hard puzzles in there to do! Except the only problem is..How can a Fashion Designer be better than a Calculator? My faveourite game on it has got to be the matching pairs game and also the compute section. Good game, I recomend it!

Professor Kageyama's Maths Training (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Puzzle
from: Nintendo

February 08, 2008
Bought this game as my 12 year old is still struggling with times tables. Too much reliance on calculators and kids today can't do simple mental arithmetic any more. If this is your problem then this game is likely to help, especially if you can motivate too. Simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems to be done in your head and quickly. Presented in a way that is reasonably fun, addictive and motivates you to do more and get better, but it's no competition for the PS3 and GTA4!! Some irritations like problems in recognising some writing, though you improve with time, and too much time wasted between games, though you can tap your way through.

More Touchmaster (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Puzzle
from: Midway Games Ltd

October 31, 2008
As a fan of puzzle games, and in particular the first Touchmaster, I was very keen to get my hands on this game when it was released. When I first played it, I just didn't like it at all. However, I have persevered, and now find myself strangely addicted ! As other reviewers have said, the main downside is the lack of the high score table, as this too was a feature I liked with the first Touchmaster, as it made you always want another go, to see of you could edge your way up the scoreboard. However, overall, I am glad I purchased this game, as it has given me many hours of enjoyment.

What a terrible game. A collection of boring mini games, it follows a similar format to brain training but is not nearly as good.

Tetris DS (Nintendo DS)

Hi,

I'm not a bad player at Tetris. I liked the original Gameboy version and I actually wrote a faster version in less than a day for an old Psion organiser (remember those?) and called it Turbotris! I used to play my own version of the game but noone else I knew could play it at the fastest settings. The reason I could play so fast was that in the original gameboy version (and my faster remake) I always knew where to put the next piece before I'd dropped the current piece in. This was because the next piece was clearly shown at a convenient eye level next to the playing area so you could see both at the exact same time.

The trouble I have with the DS version (I've only played the wifi 2 player game so far) is that I am playing ... Read More:
