Shaun the Sheep: Off His Head (DS)
MY THREE-year-old daughter is rapidly becoming a DS addict. She has gone from banging the stylus on the screen to learning to press the buttons she needs to get to the next screen.
Games like Shaun The Sheep are fascinating for her. She wants to be able to play them despite them being aimed at a higher age group This game is great for younger kids and very engaging through cheerful characters and colourful graphics.
Based on the animation series from Aardman Animations, the game is set in various different environments that kids will recognise such as the field, the barn and the farmer's house.
The game has a great storyline featuring some recognisable characters. There are three game modes: Story Mode, Minigame Mode and Colouring Book Mode.
Lily seemed to be transfixed with the colouring book mode, it kept her quiet for nearly two hours as she painted Shaun and friends in pink. This is a bright, colourful, cute and fun game for younger gamers.

Steve Wollaston - Sunday Mercury games reviewer Steve has been writing about video games for donkey's years. In fact he is probably far too old for it now which is why you will see a lot of reviews been done by kids... He was recently nominated for Regional Games Journalist Of The Year at the Games Media Awards which he believes was a fluke. His major love is sports games and rates Sensible World of Soccer circa 90's as the greatest game ever made - closely followed by Championship Manager 2.
