Diego is a much loved TV show for kids. Diego has been brought to life on the Nintendo Wii. Is it a game that will engage fans of the TV show? Read the full review to find out.
TPG writes, "Those of you out there with kids, such as myself, will find excitement in the latest news from the vaults of 2K. Two of the most popular children shows out there to date (Wonder Pets and Go Diego Go!) are out now for the Nintendo DS.
So for all of you out there who share my pain in watching the adventures of the Wonder Pets as they save animals in need and enjoy celery in many cultural shapes, or to all of you out there who have the "Rescue Pack" song stuck in your head at random times of the day, you may have an escape plan here. Your kiddos can now play games of their beloved cartoon characters, in turn freeing up your TV and allowing you to get your Adult Evil on!"
My 2 year old would go crazy over this. She's just now starting to show major interest in my videogames. I think she'd really like this
I don't have kids, and I don't get many of the jokes in the article, but that's great news for parents!
Personally, I am starting to wonder if these games that are targeted at 2-4 year old kids do any good...
They will for me and my kids.. lol.. It's amazing how quickly kids show interest in what their parents are doing. And if you play video games, your kids will show interest at a young age. So IMO it's great!
I'm actually REALLY glad my kids are showing interest at their age right now. I can't wait to get them involved!
These games would've been great when I had to babysit... Why must everything come too late to save me?
Let's hope these are at least quarter decent, the problem with a lot of kids games is that the publishers are out to exploit the children's trust of these cartoon brands, and this rather than encouraging kids to get into gaming would probably deter them; Teaching them to collect odds and sods (the basis of 80% of kids games) rather than learn and experiment, or do something constructive (Boom Blox, Spore) and these games which do encourage such experimentation are usually good fun for adults too.
Here's the Euro videogames releases for this week, highlights include WWE Legends of Wrestling, Madworld and GTA Chinatown Wars. All Games are due for release on March 20th unless otherwise stated.
WP writes: "Video games for little kids are a hard thing to come by. Most people think that the previous statement isn't true because the market, especially on the Nintendo Wii, seems to be flooded with games intended for the younger gaming demographic, such as titles that feature popular characters from kids' TV shows and movies. However, these games all rely on a few basic rules that assume the player understands a few things in order to get some enjoyment out of the game. For example, they all require that the user has basic reading comprehension skills, enjoys some level of difficulty in the gameplay, and is proficient enough to handle somewhat-complicated control schemes."
