Girls are gamers, too

 
 

Style Savvy
Console: Nintendo DS
Company: Nintendo
Grade: ➊➋➌➍

Nintendo’s “Style Savvy” looks bad on paper. It’s a game targeted toward girls that places a ridiculous emphasis on fashion and beauty. Still, the hook of the game is solid. It has you running every aspect of a clothing and accessory store. You’ll be doing the ordering, dressing the mannequins and, most importantly, making the customers happy. This is not an arcade experience where you are on a mad dash to stop customers from getting angry. This is, actually, a cerebral affair.

The March MMMpod features conversation and music from Surfer Blood and The Allman Brothers Band (There's a double-bill you're not too likely to see. However, Gregg Allman does mention Hannah Montana!). We also speak with Vampire Weekend and the Dropkick Murphys.
