| Fish Tycoon (DS)

It must be fun being a fish breeder. Plonk a pair of guppies in a tank, stir in some Viagra, and await some frenzied fin action. Something like that, anyway.

Fish Tycoon may disprove our sketchy theory. It's a Tamagotchi-style game where you play a fish breeder, who has to save the eco-system of a magical island called Isola by, well, breeding fish. Stick to what you know, we say.

You control a virtual aquarium, and have to feed your fish and keep them healthy, while also breeding them to get new varieties and therefore boost your fish business. There's over 400 types of fish in the game, apparently, some of whom have special powers and magical properties.

Fish Tycoon is due out by summer, and is being published by Oberon Games, which is one of the larger web gaming firms, so has plenty of experience in these types of casual games. Check the trailer out below.
