‘Classic Books,’ ‘Toy Story 3’ lead this week’s video game releases
This week’s video games, released today unless otherwise noted:
“Toy Story 3” — In this obligatory game based on the movie and available for pretty much every major gaming platform, you can play as Buzz, Woody or Jessie as the toys find themselves in a rowdy day care. In addition to the usual action missions, some versions of the game have a Toy Box Mode where you can build your own play areas. Rated E for Everyone. $30-$50, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and Windows PC.
“100 Classic Books” — Not so much a game as an e-book reader platform packaged into a tiny cartridge, this one includes books like Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” among others, along with author bios, plot synopses and the ability to download more books and rate them via the DS Wi-Fi connection. Rated E for Everyone. $20, for Nintendo DS.
Also out this week: “Kid Adventures: Sky Captain” (Wii), “Legend of Kay” (DS), “Naval Assault: The Killing Tide” (Xbox 360), “Dance On Broadway” (Wii), “I Spy Universe” (DS), “Mahjong Mysteries: Ancient Egypt (DS), “Yard Sale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyville” (DS), “Thinksmart” (DS), “Fallen Earth: Blood Sports” (PC), “The Treasures of Mystery Island” (PC), “Western Riding Academy” (DS), “Beach Fun” (Wii).
