In a further effort not to be known as FF/DQ, Inc., Square-Enix is releasing a new series of games for the DS called "DS:Style." Games include World Walker DS, Won't You Listen To Classic Music With the DS? and Flower Bloom DS Gardening Life. The games are fairly self-explanatory. World Walker is based on a popular series of travel books by the same name and will include city/subway maps, currency calculation, world clocks for places like Thailand, France and Italy. The classical music title is packed with 100 of the "best classics" from Toshiba EMI and quizzes wanna-be music experts on who composed certain pieces. The gardening title is based on a popular NHK program and teaches names of different kinds of flowers and herbs. What's more it ranks players gardening knowledge. Doubt if these will see life outside of Japan, but nice to see Square-Enix try something that doesn't involve the letters "F," "D" or "Q." Brian Ashcraft
