"The DS is known for a lot of high quality games, including simulators, like Brain Age, among others. Once in a while, it doesn't turn out that way. At least, that's how it appears the fate will be for the newly announced 'My Baby' games for the DS. You guessed right, it's a baby simulator for your DS. Besides revealing that two games will be released, 'My Baby Boy' and 'My Baby Girl', little else is known, besides the fact that you now know what specific two games to avoid in June 08."
The devs wish you a merry Easter with this rabbit-child hybrid.

Pros
* Players can choose between a wide variety of skin tones for their babies.
* They can also choose to play as either "mom" or "dad."
Cons
* Game throws players in without much setup or explanation.
* Directions from a helpful "nurse" are convoluted, long, and hard to follow.
* Activities like feeding become nitpicky tests of the player's patience.
* Without direction, it's unclear how to proceed after completing tasks.
Remember back in high school when the practicing parents from home economics walked around with flour sack babies? Well, they should thank their lucky stars that they didn't have a DS. Flour babies never need to be changed or fed, and they can't cry or scream. The wee ones from My Baby Boy and My Baby Girl, on the other hand, cry, scream, defecate, urinate, masticate, and then some.
