I still can't believe it...

I ended up picking up 'Nintendogs: Labs' pretty much so my girlfriend could check it out. By the way, I consider myself lucky to be dating a girl who is an actual gamer. Anyway--back to the game...where was I? Oh ya, so I picked-up Nintendogs so we could check out the game and hopefully have a little fun playing it together.

I still can't believe it, I am totally amazed at how much I like playing this game. I literally put down 'Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories' on my PSP and have been playing Nintendogs non-stop of late whenever I get my itch to play a game on a hand-held.

You know a big reason why this game works is because of what Nintendo knows about games and gamers and then how they impliment this knowledge into a game. I know this might sound dramatic, but the interface is perfect, the concept is perfect, and with the exception of a little redundancy...this game is perfect, worth buying and adding to any collection.

There's just something to be said about being able to "pet" and "play catch" with your little pup who really just wants a warm and safe home...uhh...ya well...you know what I mean right? RIGHT!? All playing aside, this game is what happens when Nintendo grabs ahold of Tamagotchi and is allowed to add their own personality into the mix.

I'm kind of left wondering how Nintendo follows this little title up, besides adding different breeds and such. Just as long as the don't go the whole "urban" way (which is so popular these days) and call it 'Nintendawgs: Rotties and Friends'

The only real negative I have run into since picking up 'Nintendogs: Labrador & Friends' is having to hear my girl wax on about how right she was and how she has the real game-picking talent in the house.

Yup, you were right dear...this game owns!

    nintendogs is the kind of game you shouldn't buy. Instead, you should rent it (if DS games are rentable) or play your friends copy of the game. At first, the game is pretty cool with the cute little dogs and you learn ... Read Full Review

    Nintendo has made their new philosophy quite clear: in addition to pleasing their traditional audience with epic installments to the Mario, Metroid, and Zelda franchises, among others, they intend to attract non-gamers t... Read Full Review
