Pony Friends More Mature, More Gruesome Than Originally Thought

We didn't actually get to play Eidos' Pony Friends for the Nintendo DS on the Games Convention show floor today, but we did find time to walk past the booth in a hurry to get somewhere else. Most surprising thing about the title we learned today is that it, apparently, has a strong military aspect to it. You can use grenades to take out swarms of enemies? Awesome.

Pony Friends—leave no man (or pony) behind.

The Atari 2600 was some console! Wouldn't it be great to, you know, be able to make your own labels. It is! What was the fake game we posted?

Eidos Promises Hot Pony Lovin'

Capitalizing on the runaway success of Nintendogs, Eidos has announced their own virtual pet sim to be released in 2007 - Pony Friends! From the press release:

PONY FRIENDS is a very exciting project for Eidos. We're fulfilling every child's dream by giving them their very own portable pony.

Finally, after all these years. These are tears of happiness, people.

Developed by Australian company Tantalus, Pony Friends features 6 breeds of real life ponies for you to groom, feed, care for, and personalize to your hearts content! You can also undertake a variety of surprise challenges, which undoubtedly will be nothing like the horrible things going through my mind right now.

Pony Friends promises to be a magical experience, full of fun and learning. Already I've learned never to look up 'pony play' in Google image search. *shudder* Michael Fahey
