Neopets Puzzle Adventure is a fun DS game where you create your own Neopet and when you’re playing, you get codes that you can use for NeoPoints at Neopets.com. And it’s educational! Neopets is where I learned to read and do some kinds of math when I was little.
Hi! Hamtaro Ham-Ham Challenge is a fun educational DS game where you can choose which level you want to play. There are 3 levels and they start off really easy and get a little bit harder. Parents can check how their child is learning on this game and they can adjust the learning level and reward the player with special items. It’s good because it can start out really easy for little kids by teaching big and small and tracing numbers and things like that.
Tropix is another fun and educational DS game. There are 11 games on it like sudoku, solitaire, bowling, mahjong, and some of them are just for fun, not educational. But all of them are fun.
Sally’s Salon is a really fun game. And if you have a kid that wants to have a salon, you should buy it for them! My favorite part is when you dye their hair and pick out the hair cuts! I’m stuck on chapter 2, day 5. It’s kind of hard, but fun at the same time. I also like that if you clear a level then you can buy something! It’s really cool!
Pikmin is a strategy game kind of like Zoombinis, only a little more fun. It’s rated “E” for Everyone, but it has mild violence in it. Captain Olimar crash-lands into a mysterious place where there’s a bunch of Pikmin. The Pikmin follow Captain Olimar around helping him survive on their planet. And they try to find missing pieces to his spaceship and he has only 30 days to live because his air supply will run out in 30 days.
It’s a little bit in between fun and boring because you can get stuck in certain spots and that’s boring, but when you’re not stuck it’s fun.
I forget to tell you very much about the Gamecube, but I love playing it a lot. I wish I didn’t have to buy a memory card separate, though. That’s more money that I have to save, but I keep buying games for it instead. I bought it used. I buy all my games used.
