Mum's got a DS
Monday, February 18th, 2008 - 6:14pm
So got my mum a DS for her bday, inc. mandatory brain training game. She was hooked instantly.
Its only been 3 days but she's allready asking for more games (jeez, she is worse then most 6 year olds!)
Can anybody recommend a site that reviews the more casual games? (im thinking in the bejeweled level of complexity). Or perhaps a game that could bridge the gap a lil to "real" gaming?
Maybe not to bridge the gap to 'real' gaming, ask her if she like puzzle and if it's the case
i recommend Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
Clubhouse Games would be a good one for her. I think over there in your area, they call it 42 All-Time Classics or some crap like that. Also, she might like:
Nintendogs
Phoenix Wright
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Cooking Mama
Tetris DS

Another vote for Clubhouse games.

I bought my mother a DS for Xmas, so this is a great thread. She likes Planet Puzzle League quite a bite.
I've actually had a hard time finding Clubhouse Games in stores. On eBay it goes for some ridiculous price, so that's out.

Also, Picross could be for her, especially if she likes the paper version. 42 All-Time Classics gets thirded by me as well. And if she's into sudoku, go for Essential Sudoku - it has 1 000 sudokus AND 1 000 Picross puzzles. Good package.
