More Petz from Ubisoft

First there were Dogz. Then there were Catz. Soon, Ubisoft will be bringing Horsez and Hamsterz to a Nintendo console near you.
What about Birdz? And Beez? They could combine the two and turn it into an instructional video.
Mm. Nevermind that.
Here’s what’s coming up:

Dogz (Nintendo DS, November 2006) - developed by MTO again, this offers substantially […]
