Time Hollow
© 2008 Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
Designed for the Nintendo DS, this interactive comic book mystery tells the story of Ethan Kairos, who is searching for his family. By using a special pen, you can create portals to the past to change events and solve problems in the present. There's a lot of reading required. Nick (age 13) stared to play this game, but found the storyline so "boring" that he quit almost immediately. If you like interactive mysteries and have a weekend of rainy days, this is a consideration.
$30, Nintendo DS
