Russell Grant’s Astrology announced for DS

Nintendo’s hugely successful hand-held console branches out into the mystical gaming space with the announcement of Russell Grant’s Astrology. The popular UK astrologer lends his name to the title which:

“Provides users with up-to-date daily horoscopes, helps them keep track of the current position of the moon and their biorhythm, and offers personal advice on all the important spheres of life. Thus, players can get a detailed horoscope based on their birth constellation, as well as predictions for their love life, health and career, and even combine two people’s horoscopes to learn more about their relationship.

For those really interested in the subject, the title also offers the opportunity to take part in an extensive training program. Here they will get to know all the fields of astrology step by step, and take part in three courses that will make them real stargazing pros.

Russell Grant’s Astrology also features entertaining games in keeping with the astrology theme, such as a puzzle and a symbol sudoku game.”

It’s always great to see new genre’s and innovative steps being taken with the DS and it’ll be interesting to see how comprehensive the training part of the game will be. Astrology, whether you believe in it or not, is a deep and complex subject and hopefully the accessible nature of the DS will help to break this down into easy sections.

But as long as the game features the disembodied head of Russell exclaiming ‘darling!’ after every sentence, then it’ll be a sure success.
