Crave has been gearing itself more and more towards kid-centric games and this year's E3 lineup is no different. Leading the pack is their Real-Time Strategy titled aimed at kids called Defendin' De Penguin for the DS and Wii. Slated to hit stores very soon, this game has players defending Penguin Town using Little Blue to stave off hungry enemies like wooly mammoths, seals, snow men and snapping turtles from gobbling up Penguin Town's fish supply. Players will have to use strategic thinking, plus carefully placed towers and defense mechanisms throughout the town if they are going to protect their home. Kid-friendly weapons include snowballs, ice cubes, icicles and frost, so they are sure to please parents who want to shield their kids from the blood and gore found in typical games.
Purr Pals, for the DS and Wii, is a pet sim where you can select from over 40 breeds to create your own virtual kitten. Once you've browsed through hundreds of facial feature combos and body characteristics to create your perfect kitty, you can then spend hours teaching it and playing with it, even using your Wii-mote as a laser pointer to attract your kitty's attention. Look for Purr Pals this fall.
Want to play mini-golf, but stay out of the heat? Check out King of Clubs, coming this fall for the Wii. Choose a silly avatar, such as Bubba the Elvis impersonator, and make your way through some of the craziest golf courses including moving obstacles, hazards like trapdoors, pools of lava and boiling oil, plus multiple routes and intricate holes-in-one. Take advantage of your magic golf bag of wild accessories such as special gag balls, trick clubs and audio distractions to help you get through 96 competitive mini-golf holes.
