New Video Games Due This Week

If you are doing some holiday shopping this week, girl gamers will probably love American Girl: Julie Finds a Way (DS), Pocket Pets (DS), Farm Vet (PC) and Strawberry Shortcake: The Four Seasons Cake (DS). Boys will be thrilled to receive Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2008 (DS), Dragon Ball Z: Budokai (Wii), and Godzilla Unleashed (Wii). Fans of the book and upcoming movie, The Golden Compass, will love the game (all platforms), which recreates some of the book and movie's most memorable scenes and I can think of anyone who wouldn't want Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 (Xbox 360), except maybe my grandmother.
