You don’t want to miss Picross DS (for Nintendo DS) if you’re looking for a puzzle game to give hours of relaxed enjoyment. It relies on a logic process similar to the hugely popular Sudoku - and is likewise a numbers game with math skills not required. Well, you do need to count - at least as high as twenty, and very basic addition helps. But for those who can do that, you will find yourself challenged by the step-by-step deductive process.
Using sequences of numbers bordering a grid, you fill-in or blank-out squares. The successful completion of a puzzle results in your reward - a simple picture, which animates if you beat it in the alloted time. The game's easy to learn, but the difficulty increases as the grid size grows.
Several modes are available, including Daily Picross, which is a self-challenge you can play only once a day, and My Picross, which lets you make your own puzzles. And, as long as you have a wireless internet connection, you need never run out of puzzles, since there is a virtually endless supply of downloads.
To learn more, you can go to the official website of the game. You will find a good tutorial and explanation of all the features - everything you want to know before you buy.
We should mention that some of the advance level screens can be a bit hard to see, but there are magnifying options.
Picross DS is not a good choice for most children, but if you like crossword or logic puzzles, or can’t get enough of Brain Age, there will be no regrets for trying Picross DS. You will be sure to find it worthy of adding to your game collection.
