Super Mega Pet

This unique game puts a virtual robotic pet in your care, although some folks may find that the fun wears off too quickly. In Super Mega Pet, you adopt a small, ball-like creature in its infancy. Not only should you feed it and play with it regularly, you also must nurse it back to health when it gets ill and keep it away from various monsters and enemies. However, the action only really heats up when the pet encounters trouble; the rest of the time, the game is just a repetitive cycle of feeding it and cleaning up after it. By the time our pet finally bought the farm at age six, we were already tired of the game. The graphics won t wow you, but they re decent enough, and the various sound effects for bodily functions are so realistic that more squeamish players may find them disgusting. Unfortunately, you can t turn off the audio, which is quite a shame, as we found our sick pet s yelps and squeals particularly annoying. Despite its minuses, Super Mega Pet is worth downloading sheerly for the singular experience it provides.
