Nintendogs

Before you start in with the "Only a sissy plays with virtual dogs on their DS" comments, keep in mind that some of us live in complexes that don't allow our canine buddies to live there. Or, even worse, there are men that are allergic to Man's Best Friend. For situations like these, we recommend Nintendogs from Nintendo ($28). Not exactly the real thing, but playing catch with a stylus is way more fun than it sounds.
