The Games People Play

If you’re part of the post-Monopoly generation, here’s a high-tech alternative. Put away Grand Theft Auto and Super Mario Bros. and plug in the latest thing for Nintendo fans, Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest. End pollution and global warming. Head off extinction. Carry out 40 challenging environmental missions. Pursue your strategies with the help of a magical woodland dweller such as Ecoli (all one word, fortunately), whose special job is to grow trees. Suitable for two players via Wi-Fi connection. Includes an online ranking system. Rated for mild language and violence. We don’t make this stuff up.
