Pillow Pets DS Game Review

December 18, 2011 By 9 Comments

My youngest two just LOVE the Pillow Pets. Every time we see them at the store, they want mom to buy them another one. If you have a Pillow Pets fan on your shopping list that has a Nintendo DS, you might want to grab them a copy of the Pillow Pets DS game to add in their stocking. :)

The Pillow Pets game is a cute interactive game that has characters that are based on the popular Pillow Pets toys. In the game, you take a journey through Dreamland that is the place that happens to be the place that the Pillow Pets go when children go to sleep. Your mission in the game is to find Pillow Pets that are stuck in Dreamland.

Fun features of the game:

  • Players can unlock and collect up to 16 Pillow Pets for play
  • Characters have cute and funny animations
  • 16 expansion levels
  • Colorful graphics

I think this is a totally cute game for my youngest two children, even though I know I will find the other two playing it too. My three daughters love video games and this was something fun to add to their collection.

Right now you can purchase Pillow Pets for DS at Amazon on sale for only $16.99.

  • An “Ultimate” power move unleashes a super charged, race changing boost of speed and power themed to each character’s abilities.

Extended gameplay on all systems encourages even more interaction and participation with family and friends.

Squinkies For Nintendo DS Review

May 10, 2011 By 4 Comments


I have daughters and they all LOVE Squinkies! My older two also happen to have Nintendo DS game systems. I knew that my daughters were going to be so excited when this game arrived at my house for review.

The new Squinkies game for the Nintendo DS not only includes the game, it also includes some very cool and RARE Squinkies. These cute little Squinkies that you will find included with the game are NOT available in the regular toy packs. When my daughter Hannah seen them, she about FREAKED out and said she just had to have them. Luckily her sister was more worried about playing the game then playing with the cute toys.

As for the game, you are the Squinkies Princess and your job is to search for your lovable Squinkies friends that are lost. Your goal is to find and free your fellow Squinkies friends as you compete in fun challenges through your adventure. When playing you will explore the winding paths of the forest in search of your friends but you have to be hurry or you will lose their trails.

This is a cute game even for the tween and teen girls, even though I feel it is geared towards the younger girls. Special bundle packs of this game includes both the game plus 4 ultra-rare Squinkies! You will be able to view 3 of these toys but one will remain a mystery until you open it and take it out of the package. We always love a little mystery here.

Squinkies for Nintendo DS™ is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and is now available for $29.99. For more information please visit www.squinkiesvideogame.com.

Pinkalicious DS Game Review

April 17, 2011 By 2 Comments


When it comes to activities at my house, you will find that most of my children if not all of them LOVE to play video games. I can’t say that I blame them because I enjoy playing video games too, just not all the time. This mom has her own game system in her room too!

We recently had the opportunity to review the Pinkalicious DS game. Even though my oldest daughter is now in her teens, she still likes to play the girly girl video games. She was quick to take the game out of the box and put it in to play. What was even cool was my youngest who was 6 had just brought home a Pinkalicious book from the school library too! So even though you might think this game is for the younger girls, my tweens are playing it too!

This game is based on the best-selling book series by Victoria Kann, Pinkalicious. In Pinkalicious, It’s Party Time, players will be able to interact with Pinkalicious and explore the magical town of Pinkville, including popular hot spots like The Bakery, Florist, Ice Cream Parlor and Stationery Store. Players take on the role of a customizable avatar that is tasked with planning the most pinkerrific parties for their guests to enjoy. Setting up a party entails cooking baked goods such as cupcakes or cookies, as well as putting together party bags, decorating and getting dressed up for the parties. Even after the adventure is finished, the fun isn’t over. Pinkalicious, It’s Party Time has high replay value and with the endless Activity and Dress-Up modes, fans can replay and retool their favorite scenarios as many times as they wish.

For the launch, a Pinkalicious stylus and cleaner will come bundled with the game as a special limited time offer. My daughters thought the pink stylus and cleaner was totally COOL! Pinkalicious, It’s Party Time, developed by 1st Playable Productions, and is available now for $29.99 for Nintendo DS™. This game has been rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. To receive more information about Pinkalicious, It’s Party Time, please visit www.game-mill.com.
