Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F (PS3)
Vocaloid is a popular voice synthesizer music program. In Japan, they’ve even made cartoon characters to go along with the voices used in the synthesizer. Some of these anime characters have become very well known, especially the blue-haired pig-tailed girl Hatsune Miku. Now she and her friends have their own music game on the PS3 (previously on the Vita).

FlowDoku (iPad)
FlowDoku is basically Sudoku without the numbers. It’s available for Android and iOS devices (played on iPad here). In Sudoku, you must fill rows, columns, and squares with numbers from 1 to 9, but each number can only appear once in each row, column, and square. In FlowDoku, you can only have certain shape patterns in each row, column, and square. Like three blue squares, two orange triangles, and one yellow circle for instance. And the same shapes have to be next to each other, too. You can see how the pattern works at the bottom of the screen.
