Looking for cool Nintendo DS games to give (or get) for the holidays? Here’s a few you can’t miss! These recommendations are based on what we’ve played during the year or currently playing. Whatever the game you choose, it’s guaranteed to be hours of fun for the lucky DS girl gamer in your life!
WireWay
WireWay is, basically, a combo of physics and cuteness. You control a tiny alien (or, actually, the world around it) in an effort to fling it toward the exit of several dozen stages. When on the ground, the creature scampers along in a straight line and you can only make it jump by tapping it. Once in the air, though, it will grasp any of the elastic bars it encounters and clutch it tightly until you send it flying by dragging the band with the stylus and releasing, catapult style. The difficulty ramps up quickly when more complex stage layouts begin to appear and various monsters stomp around the stage.
Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop
This totally fun new game from Majesco, which came out October 20, 2009, introduces a whole bunch of new dishes not seen in Cooking Mama 1 and Cooking Mama 2. The recipes range in terms of difficulty from simple lollipops to complex chile con carne (that’s chile with meat, for all you non-Spanish-speakers out there). With these new recipes come new steps that are just as LOL silly and lighthearted as previous versions of the game.
