At first glance, 10-year-old Ben Tennyson looks like your average, everyday kid. But take a closer look, and it's plain to see he's the world's youngest superhero stopping evil-doers from Earth and space. In Ben 10: Protector of Earth, players take on the role of Cartoon Network's popular hero Ben 10 and, using the power of the alien Omnitrix device that has attached itself to Ben's wrist, become the only everyday kid to take on super powers and change into alien forms as they save the world through the game's diverse challenges, puzzles and skirmishes.

In Ben 10: Protector of Earth, the evil Vilgax, with the help of Kevin 11 and the Forever Knights, has set in motion a plan to capture the Omnitrix and the world is in danger. The game authentically portrays these main characters and others from the show, as well as Ben's most popular alien forms and a familiar summer vacation storyline. All this, along with loads of brand new content, immerses players in Ben's world like never before. The game is easy for novice players to pick up, appropriately challenges and rewards young gamers, yet offers a wide variety of powerful action choices that make it exciting enough to engage players of all levels for hours at a time. Ben 10: Protector of Earth challenges gamers to embark on an exhilarating and crucial quest to stop evil Vilgax and save the day.

Big Brain Academy (BBA) offers 15 activities that test the participant's brain power in areas including maths, logic, memory and analysis (you don't really play this game, so we will not refer to you as players - BBA isn't a game as such). Upon starting the game, new Academicals(!) will enter Test mode and take a five-part quiz that reveals the 'weight' of their brains, a letter grade and a profession, or a famous name from history which may have a similar 'weight'. The results of the initial quiz are based on how many correct answers players get in a set period of time, and the goal is to gradually increase the power of the brain. Academicals can also take part in the activities in Practice mode. If they do well in this, they'll earn a selection of bronze, silver, gold and platinum medals.

All 15 activities involve the DS touch screen in one way or another, so it's not purely about the power of the mind. Testees(!!) will require a good grip on the slender DS stylus, but the touchy-feely nature of the BBA activities is a real delight, while the quick thinking required in a short space of time gives the whole thing a feeling of urgency. Up to eight people can take part using just one game card, and with each activity taking no more than a minute to complete, the ante is upped considerably when more people are involved.

Big Brain Academy is a perfect complement to the 'similar-but-different-enough-to-make-this-worthwhile' Prof. Kawashima's Brain Training. Either game will keep you occupied for a good while, and you never know - you might blow someone's mind with the sheer power of your brain (hopefully not your own).

In this stylish simulation, players assume the role of a fresh-faced designer eager to dominate the fashion world, and follows their career from training school, through graduation and beyond.

Designing the best fashion creations could possibly lead to can supplying outfits to the rich and famous.

The gameplay is mission-based and offers players the chance to present their creations in catalogues and movie posters, and even gives designers the freedom to select which supermodels, hairstyles and creations will strut their stuff on the catwalk. Player performance is rated according to factors including tailoring time, design choices and accuracy. All must be heeded if players are to become the world's most popular fashion designer.

In addition to the extensive Career mode, it is also possible to design freestyle outfits whenever inspiration strikes in Free mode, and to challenge friends to 'design-offs' in wireless multiplayer games. Unlockable patterns, fabrics, accessories and supermodels also feature as rewards for exceptional designers.

Take a walk on the fun side with Nintendo's latest lifestyle game, which comes with two very special Activity Meter pedometers! Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine? helps you work out if your activity rhythm is up to scratch and provides valuable insight on how to set up a regular routine – the healthiest way to live!

All you need to do is clip one of the Activity Meters onto your belt, put it in your pocket or even attach it to your dog's collar and you're away! The Activity Meter will then keep track of every step you make during the day and transmit the information to your Nintendo DS, which is where the fun starts! Using the Touch Screen and your DS Stylus, you can use the results in all sorts of ways and even make notes for your own records.

The first thing to do is to check out your activity rhythm, or walking habits, and see if the duration, timing and number of steps are all the best they can be. You can set yourself a Step Target, aiming for as many or as few steps as you think you can manage. Then have a look at the Records section, where your performance result is presented in several clear and concise graphs. The Activity Meter will provide helpful comments on whether you achieved your target and will even compare your walking performance to an animal! The game will also set you fun Mini Targets after your results have been checked – perhaps to avoid fatty foods for the day, or maybe just to relax and treat yourself.

Unlike a regular pedometer, one of the great things about the Activity Meter is that it allows your family, friends and even pets to join in. Up to four different people can use their own Activity Meter in conjunction with a single Game Card, allowing everyone's results to be compared and promoting a bit of healthy competition. For the first time on Nintendo DS, Walk with me! users can use Miis to represent themselves. These can be transferred from the Mii Channel on your Wii or created in-game – there are even Mii-style dogs for your canine chums!

Ranking yourself against friends and family is a good incentive to improve, but if you have bigger aspirations you can also find out how your activity levels compare to other Walk With Me! users around the world by viewing the World Ranking chart via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Or if you'd rather work alongside others than compete against them, you can combine your step data with players around the globe to see how far your total steps take you around the Solar System in Space Journey.

Walkers with a slightly less pioneering disposition can focus on some of the entertaining mini-games on offer as an enticement to keep walking. For example, Walk the World uses your steps to build up one of 100 pictures on the DS screen, unlocking related trivia when completed. Meanwhile, Illuminate! converts the combined activity of all users into electrical power, which is then measured to see how bright a light you can power.

So what's stopping you? Grab your friends and family and walk your way to a healthier lifestyle!

Walk with Me! on Nintendo DS Features:

• Set yourself a daily walking routine with unique Activity Meters.


• Use Miis on Nintendo DS for the first time.


• Up to four users can compare their activity and compete for a trophy.


• Rank yourself against other walkers worldwide and take part in fun games together.
