It’s difficult to pick a highlight this week in the US releases. Not because of an embarrassment of riches but because nothing looks particularly worthwhile. The best I can do is offer a continuation of the My Horse and Me series in the Riding for Gold game. For the rest of the week’s releases we have to head over the Atlantic.
The phenomenon that is Hannah Montana breaks on the UK shores with the release of her video game to coincide with the new film. Although it’s bound to be a popular choice amongst the pre-teens the reviews have not been kind to Miley Cyrus. Scores in the 3/10 area doesn’t fill me with confidence.
The rest of the releases belong to the DS. Gardening Mama looks to turn our lazy gamer fingers a bit greener whilst Rhythm Paradise is all about tapping to the funky beat. Both of these look interesting with Rhythm Paradise having the more critical acclaim and maybe a bit more, well... coolness to it.
