This cute, colorful, TV show-based game lets you take over a virtual garden and, with some skill and a lot of love, turn it into a piņata paradise! There are tons of piņatas to attract, mini-games to play and a story to uncover. It's easy enough for gamers of any age to enjoy, but has some challenging bits to keep hardcore piņata collectors busy. If only you could show off your garden online!
Launching gamers into the world of the animated Cars movie, the Cars video game by Disney and Pixar drops you into Lightning McQueen's tires in Radiator Springs for more fun with the wacky talking cars. It has racing excitement, mini-games and something you don't find in movie-based games: a new story!

Daily exercises get your frontal lobe warmed up and ready to tackle math class. This game is also a great way to convince your 'rents to get you a Nintendo DS!
It's fun to collect and train Pokemon, but actually becoming a Pokemon and leading teams of Pokemon on missions to rescue other Pokemon and save the world from an environmental catastrophe is awesome! There are also ways to team up with friends, rescue their Pokemon if they get stuck, build teams of rare Pokemon and more!
There's a whole planet of cute, cuddly singing blobs that need you to rescue them from attacking space octopi!
