Game On: 'Crosswords DS'

Rated: Everyone Platform: Nintendo DS (Nintendo)

Fans of classic word puzzles will find a game all their own with this one. Nintendo's latest hand-held title offers more than 1,000 crossword puzzles for every level of wordsmith, plus anagram and word-search puzzles. Even if you've never played a video game in your life, "Crosswords DS" is easy to use -- you'll write answers onto the DS' touch screen, and you'll use the penlike stylus to circle hidden words and manipulate letters. It's as close to the real thing as it gets, and it's a fabulous way to take your favorite word games on the go.
