Veterinaria La Hacienda

If you’re an animal lover, and you like to play video games, you might be interested in a way to combine your love of animals with your urge to play. Check out these 7 awesome video games for animal lovers.

Pet Crossing

This Facebook- based tile matching video game engages the player to join pairs of like animals, depicted on tiles, as their images come onto the screen. Once a match is made it disappears and makes room for more tiles. There is a catch.

The pairs must have no interpreted space between them, and the line connecting them can make no more than two turns. When there’s no space left for new tiles to come onto the playing field, they’ll queue up on all four sides of the board. If the queues get too full, it’s game over.

Fable 2

If you’re a vegetarian then this is the ultimate animal lover’s Xbox 360 video game. This virtual duel pits good against evil as your tofu-powered characters overpower their meat-eating opponents. Rack up purity points every time you eat plant-based food or watch your character turns into an obese evil villain if it consumes any meat products. It’s enough to make anyone stop eating meat.

SimAnimals Africa

This Wii and Nintendo DS game takes you on an African adventure in which you can tame wild animals, and explore landscapes you’ve never seen before. Gamers can take on the persona of the exotic animals of Africa, and run, jump, kick and charge just like these animals do in real life.

Players are offered challenges and mini-games in which they have the chance to solve them and obtain new items, new animals, and go to higher levels of the game. Animals have hidden abilities the player must discover as they make their way across the jungles, desserts and savannas of Africa. This is a great game that will give you hours of enjoyment.

Nintendogs

This is the most successful Nintendo DS game ever made. A touch screen allows you to get one-on-one with your little pup, and a hand-held microphone enables you to tell him (or her) what to do. There are four different versions that can interact with each other by using a wi-fi connection.

Paradise Pet Salon

This on-line role play game pits the big dogs against the little dogs. When the big corporation, PetCorp, moves into town it’s a race against time to see who can service more pets, and ultimately become the king of the animal care kingdom.

Animal Genius

This Nintendo DS game is a winner of the Parent’s Choice Gold Awards. There are dozens of games within this game that will test your knowledge of animals, and teach you about the ones you’re not familiar with. Choose from an array of habitats including a rainforest, the arctic, ocean or woodlands. You’ll play five different games that involve the indigenous animal of the habitat you select. To win the game you have to unlock enough animals to fill the empty diagram of five habitats.

Animal Crossing

This Nintendo GameCube game allows the player to assume the role of an animal living in a village. Your character animal must increase the size of its house. By completing tasks and challenges your character can obtain furnishings, wallpaper, flooring and other items. The game is played in real-time so it’s important to save the game each time you shut down. (A little Gyriod that lives next door will remind you) If you do forget, a mole named Mr. Resetti will appear in front of your house the next time you play and give you a scolding.
