Zenses Ocean DS Game Review And Giveaway
I used to think that the Nintendo DS was just for children until we got one in the house a couple of months ago. I was offered an opportunity to review Zenses Ocean, a game that targets one of the fastest growing segments of the videogames industry – 25+ females. In other words, me!
Zenses Ocean is a puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. I love puzzle games and matching games! So far so good! Zenses contains a collection of six puzzle games. All of the games are controlled exclusively with the stylus. The sounds and music that play within the games are soft and soothing without being tediously boring. The images within the game are all related to the ocean and are colored in realistic soft colors. They’re quite relaxing really. The game is also very casual and relaxing, there isn’t any pressure or big hurry – you decide how hard you want the game to be and you play. Each of the games are played differently. In Zen-Stones the object is to match pairs of stones and clear the screen. In Pearl Diver the object is to connect pearls of one color to each other. In Turtle Turn the object is to flip all of the shells to a certain color. In Hot Spot the object is to form an image by manipulating pieces. In Wave Breaker the object is to remember where shells are located. In Shell Twirl the object is to match shapes. I enjoyed all of the games very much but Shell Twirl is probably my favorite. I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys puzzles and that will appreciate the ability to play a game at a slower pace.
Zenses Ocean is published by The Game Factory and is rated E for everyone. The game retails for approximately $29.99 and is available for purchase both online and at retailers nationwide. Visit the Zenses website for a free download of the soundtrack and to watch a trailer of the game.
WIN IT!
One winner will receive a copy of Zenses Ocean.

We love to play the hidden object games. My favorite game for the DS is Brain Age.
I love Sudoko so much that I can’t play it, or else I become obsessed with it! Only on vacations and such! I don’t have a favorite DS game, but I do love my Wii Fit!
I love puzzles games like hidden object games, jigsawa puzzles, brain teasers. I don’t have a favorite DS game as I don’t get to play it much. Oh wait SNOOD was my favorite Gameboy game.

I like to play hidden object games on the computer. I am currently playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village on the DS.
I commented on “Riddle Me. Riddle Me. Take Your Best Guess.” on Here and There. I learned two new riddles, that are very hard to answer!
I commented on “Spirit Airlines – Hidden Fees: When a Bargain Is Not a Bargain” on Here and There. I learned that Spirit airlines was really rude to your mom, and even charged her for a cup of water! That is just plain ridiculous!
I commented on “WW – Search And Find” on Here and There. I learned that she took that picture at California Adventure in Disneyland.
I commented on “Freestyle Amusement Park, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina” on Here and There. I learned that your parents are very adventurous, and love to go on all the thrill rides! I think that’s awesome!
I commented on “Embassy Suites, Flagstaff, Arizona” on Here and There. I learned about a great place to stay at if I’m ever in Arizona!

Everyone needs some time for himself or herself to relax and play. Enjoy. You deserve it truly.
I like word puzzle games like Bogle. I just got a DS, so I don’t have a favorite game yet. Maybe this could be it.
