Dogz Fashion

If you are looking for a cute game for the 5-12 girly set, we highly recommend Dogz Fashion for GBA.

My 8 year old daughter gives the game a glowing review. With Dogz Fashion you can pick a puppy, dress it in cute clothes, care for it, take it for walks and even enter it in contests. You earn points along the way as well. Some basic reading ability is needed.

According to Miss M,

"If you take good care of your dog, it's heart level will go up and when it is all the way up, your dog will be able to talk."

New Gameboy Micro Fits in the Palm of your Hand

While waiting for his sisters to finish their gymnastics practice tonight, my son discovered a cool new handheld from Nintendo - the Game Boy Micro Black. His friend was playing it and let my son give it a try while the friend was in Karate class.

The Gameboy Micro is COOL. It is the size of a cell phone but has great screen quality. It plays all the GBA games, but not the old GB classic games. Still, that leaves tons of games to choose from. It also has a collection of skins so you can change your Micro's look with your mood.

My son was most impressed with the Micro's battery life. I think he played Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land for about 2 hours and he said the battery light never came on. I did some research - the battery should last 6-8 hours. That is perfect for long car trips and waiting for the sibs at sports practices.

The Micro is also less expensive than the other Gameboy models. You can get it for around $50.

Has anyone else given the Micro a test drive? What are your thoughts? Is it worth it or is a DS a better deal all together?
