Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends (DS)

After receiving a Nintendo DS as a gift last Christmas, one of the games I was most keen to buy was Nintendogs, as I love the idea of looking after a virtual pet.

Nintendogs is an interactice game for the nintendio ds that is a step up from the cyber pet that some of you may remeber from a few years back.. ahem. I was hooked as a kid on my cyber pets, feeding them walking them and helping them live their little two dimensional lives, so when i spotted this game i knew i would love it even though now I'm supposed to be an adult!! There is much more variety than a cyber pet though. You can teach your pup tricks. in the same way you wouls a real dog, through repetition and reward. Tricks range from the standard "sit" and "shake" to the advanced "backflip" and "breakdance". ...  Read the complete review
