No one will argue the fact that raising a baby is a lot of work. SouthPeak Interactive takes virtual simulation to a new level where it's not just your horse, dog or hamster's well-being at stake, but your very own baby boy. At the Penny Arcade Expo 2008, Gamespot tried to bond with our baby but it didn't work out too well because of the ruckus.
Their first task was to give the baby a bottle but since it involved saying soothing words into the microphone, all the Nintendo DS was able to pick up was the explosions coming from the television next to us. Due to all the noise, it was difficult to calm our baby down, but they spoke with SouthPeak to get an idea of what to expect.
The devs wish you a merry Easter with this rabbit-child hybrid.
What do the My Baby's games have in common with real children? They are annoying. They eat, poop, and scream, case closed. Ultimately it's frustrating. Yahoo Games knows that this is a simulation game, but there is just so little "game" to it. It may be cute to watch them giggle and smile for the first time, but you'll quickly have the volume turned down once they start crying. And they cry a lot. Ultimately that's what it boils down to; a portable baby crying machine.
