Summary

So, you've managed to waste suitably ridiculous amounts of your employer's time playing flash-based games on Pogo.com? Well, now you can do it on the bus, train or at your significant other's house when you ought to be watching Corrie too.

Pogo Island takes five games hailing from the popular Pogo.com games website and brings them to your DS. And what's your DS for, if not dinky little casual games?

Poppit is a game that might have a faint whiff of familiarity about it. You have to pop two or more matching balloons in a go. The rest of the balloons will subsequently shift positions, so keeping your eye on the game and thinking ahead are crucial. If you get it right, you'll be rewarded with a nice little jackpot. Word Whomp is a Countdown-style game where you're presented with a group of letters and have to form an appropriately long word. Squelchies is a nifty little game that requires you to pull critters down from a stack on the upper screen to form chains and get them out of your way. Tri-Peaks Solitaire is a variation on...well, solitaire. Rounding things out is Phlinx, a variation on Bust-a-Move.

It's all wrapped up in an adventure mode in which you wander an island, taking on the challenges as they come.
