If your mind is in shape you are smart, if your body is healthy your are fit. And if your eyes are sharp, I don’t know if there’s a word for that. Maybe not but there is a game that can keep them sharp. Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day. I know it doesn’t sound as good as giant pectoral muscles or brilliant sense of humor. In some of Flash Focus’ minigames you have to focus on one target. By a series of symbols that quickly appeared as they quickly dissapear.

Nintendogs comes in four different types. Labrador & friends, Chihuahua & friends, Dachshund & friends, Dalmatian & friends and Shiba & Friends. Shiba in friends has not been released yet. And it only releases in Japan, it might come to the US later on. But in Labrador, Chihuahua and Dachshund & friends you can choose from labs, chihuahuas, dachshunds and so on. But you have to unlock some dogs such as the dalmatian and golden retrievers.

Whether they are putting you in charge of your own railroad, amusement park, cruise ship or shopping mall. Tycoon games let you create your own what ever version you bought. But a new one that is coming to Wii is Space Station Tycoon. Unlike many build-your-own whatever games Space Station Tycoon has a bit of a story to it. You control a young man named Shawn who just happened to have his own space station. At least until pirates attack it and blow it up. The first thing you’ll notice about Space Station Tycoon when it’s in action is that it looks a lot like Outpost Kaloki X a space station building game. Released on the Xbox Live market place.

This simple online game lets you create and train a virtual cat or dog. Besides you won’t have to deal with accidents on the carpet, fleas or a messy household. Plus other pet like stuff. Virtual pet owners can enjoy watching their pet develop it’s own personality, appearance, and hobbies. Though you can’t hug a DS. Well you could but it would be weird.

The DS version of GoPets: Vacation Island will mirror the PC title.

Ray man may have been the main playable character in Rayman Raving Rabbids. But it was the weirdly malevolent screaming bunnies that were loved the best. And Ubisoft is making a sequel for Nintendo’s very popular Wii. With it’s unique controller. But I’ll get into that later. And of course it wouldn’t be fun without a multiplayer portion in the game. Which means there is no shortage of rabbids. But before you start you you are presented with a number of rabbids that you can choose from.

And some accessories to customize your rabbid with. Like hats, skins and outfits.

There’s a few versions of Sims 2: Castaway for different consoles. But even though Sims is usually for PC or some of the better graphic consoles, the DS version looks pretty good. Even though the other consoles focus on a collection and management of several villagers. But the DS version focuses mainly on minigames and one villager. Mini games may sound dumb for Sims 2. But you will find that they help after you win them. They teach you skills for survival while playing as the villager. Just like the story on the other consoles, you’re a castaway who washed up on an uncharted island.

And you must forage and hunt for food and materials. Also make friends with other castaways.

Smarty Pants has some Mii integration. And the profiles of your players will carry some granular information about your performance are bound to different Miis. And though their implementation in the version of Smarty Pants was somewhat plain. And it’s a third-party game, which is nice to see for Wii. Smarty Pants has good fast paced trivia with a little physicality thrown in. Smarty Pants also has a good family mode or cooperative mode.

With the shared score it gives the game a kinda everybody wins feeling.

Mario Party DS is for well Nintendo DS. The game is due for release sometimes during this month. A short story that is at the front of the game is that Bowser and his no good son told Mario and the gang (plus Wario!) that he made tasty treats and they have to come to his castle to get them. But instead of snacks they get shrunk. Tiny Mario (or someone else) tiny console. Get it (It’s not funny I know.)? So the whole time you are playing a variety of minigames and rolling dice and all taht good stuff just to get shrunk by Bowser Jr. and Bowser.

That is very rude of them.

It wold not be a Hannah Montana (HM) game without a nod to the star in the story line. Of course in Hannah Montana: Music Jam you either play as Miley Stewart or her other side pop sensation Hannah Montana. As the game unfolds and you get further into it you will have to take on another rising pop singer, Savannah Star. And you will have to take on Savannah in a music jam video contest. And to add to that problem Miley’s friends are being stolen away by a popular new girl in school. It will probably seem like a girls work is never done.

To develop your skills in Hannah Montana: Music Jam, the game will actually let you play guitar, bass and drums (possibly more).
