Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol

Park with wisteria flowers

I somehow hadn't heard of this game before, but Nintendo's got a new (just released yesterday) DS game called Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol, the object of which is apparently to stop pollution, save flowers, and accomplish other tasks with the goal of restoring the titular park. It sounds like the type of game I'd totally dig, and IGN rates it 7.8 overall, which is not too shabby.

On the upside, Nintendo is being a bit green and shipping seedlings to 500 random customers who register their games, but on the downside, the game is only available at less-than-socially-responsible retailer Wal-Mart.
