As quite a domesticated mum of three I love the thought that XBox 360, PS3, Wii, DS lite and PSP games can have a practical role around the home and enriching everyday life but also fun to chill out and unwind with too. Here are my Domestic Gamer review, join me to read about all sorts of games, from cooking, health, and family ones too.

Nintendo Crossword Collection doesn't just offer the little black and white squared variety, but also word searches and anagrams too.

Wii Yoga sets out to offer the hardcore Yoga fan an authentic at home experience, enhanced by the use of the Wii and Wii Fit board. Although there is plenty here to challenge and stretch, for newcomers like me it's all a little daunting - and doesn't all that pretty.

The Garmin Forerunner 405 packs a lot into a small wristwatch, but what makes this special is the whole package from online web app, to virtual partner, to run markers. Although you need to get back to base to see in detail how your run has panned out, the quality of the web experience make it a great investment for a new or experienced runner, and without the bulk of previous devices.

Active Health on the Nintendo DS follows in the footsteps of games like Nutrition Matters on the Wii and Walk With Me on the DS in encouraging us to get active and eat more healthily. Well present and sharp witted, Active Health with Carol Vorderman manages to combine elements of both these games with much greater success though.

Style Boutique DS is a light-hearted look at the world of shopping and fashion which is something obsessed over by a large proportion of our media. Brought more to the fore with TV shows like Ugly Betty, Style Boutique on the Nintendo DS follows a similar world of high styling and high prices - all be it in a rather cutesy cartoon way.

Horrible Histories Ruthless Romans on the Nintendo DS brings the bestselling grizzly history books for kids to the portable gaming genre. Following the same theme as the books the games takes a no nonsense approach to history leaving in all the nasty bits, but done in a fun and factual way.

Ready Steady Cook had the potential to be much better than its Wii predecessor, but sadly still falls rather flat on all fronts.

When I first saw this game I was really excited. But disappointment hit as it seemed to be an electronic gardening encyclopedia. But as I dug a little deeper I found all sorts of useful tools to help my gardening know-how.

Professor Layton's first curious outing impressed me with both quality and storytelling. The games really feels like a 50's french mystery. If I can find the time and the brainpower, perhaps I'll finish it in time for the follow up - Pandora's Box.

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box keeps the format the same and quality high. I enjoyed the feel and fun of the first game and was pleasantly surprised to find a more streamlined experience. A coffee a flapjack and the Professor make an excellent combination.
