MySims Agents, for the Wii and DS, is a mystery solving puzzle game and is the next installment in the popular MySims franchise.

There are a couple of differences between the Wii and DS game.

This is what EA has to say about MySims Agents for the Wii:

“…players take on the role of a special agent hired to foil the sinister plans of Morcubus, lord of the criminal underworld. By recruiting different MySims, each with their own special characteristics, players can build up their very own crime-busting dream team. From tracking footprints and using forensics to picking locks, hacking into computers, following leads and collecting clues, players must rely on their wits, skills and trusty gadgets to piece together the clues to solve the mystery.”

And this is what they say about the DS version:

“…players are agents assigned by their agency to help the mayor stop a notorious thief from stealing an ancient treasure. By searching for clues, solving intricate puzzles and matching wits with the thief, gamers can protect the treasure and the town! Along the way they can talk to their favourite MySims, sharpen their agent skills with 10 different mini-games…”

Sounds to me like the DS version will be more mini-game intensive which is often the case since mini-games are great ways to take advantage of the DS’s stylus and double viewing windows.

MySims Agents should be available for both systems in late September of this year.

SimAnimals Africa is the sequel to SimAnimals and gives players the chance to tame wild animals like never before.

On the Wii you can choose to play as an animal and from the release:

Kicking zebras, rock-breaking rhinos and crocodiles that excel at hunting will assist players in keeping the environment happy and unlocking new areas, animals, and special items. New mini-games give players more ways to interact with the animals. The ring toss, drumming, and petting games help the animals hone their unique skill and assist players in achieving their goals more quickly. Additionally, there are over 70 rare objects for players to collect including bugs, fruits and flowers. If players feed one of these rare items to an animal they may get an unexpected surprise!

On the DS, you can talk to your parrot guide via the DS microphone and the parrot will repeat back to you what you said.

SimsAnimals Africa will hit for both the DS and the Wii this fall just in time for the holiday season.

Lookie what I got from Maxis yesterday!

That’s right folks, 14 games to give away.

On Friday the 28th of November, I’ll be giving away a copy of MySims for PC and MySims Kingdom for the Wii.

Here’s how it’s going to work:

Look for the giveaway post that I publish on Friday after 8am CDT.

#1 Post a comment on the Black Friday Giveaway post stating which game you want and why – you have to choose one.

#2 Write your own post on your blog with a link back to the Black Friday Giveaway post and then make sure to leave me a comment on my post with a link back to yours.

#3 Twitter about the giveaway, stumble it and Digg the giveaway – make sure that you leave a comment with the URLS on the Black Friday post so that I know that you did it.

You get one point for #1.  You get five points for #2 and you get 1 point for each tweet link and for each stumble and Digg.

The contest ends at 11:59pm on Sunday the 30th of November.  I’ll add up the points sometime on Dec. 1st and let you know the two people who won – one Wii winner and one PC winner.

Keep in mind that I’ll only ship within the contiguous 48 states and that if you don’t reply to my “you won” email within 48 hours that I’ll void your win and offer it to the person with the next highest score.  Since I will be contacting the winners via email, make sure that you leave a valid email address or all of your efforts will be for naught.

I was checking out the MySims website today when I came across a few fun looking online games.  These little flash diversions include a Sushi Chef Minigame, the Create-a-Thing Minigame, and DJ Candy’s Room Designer.

The whole website is actually very cute.  If you’re a parent who knows that your kids are into video games but you want to keep them away from the really violent ones, MySims looks like a really good idea.
