			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rules are made to be broken &#8211; or at least bent a little, right? This week, the latest downloadable games for the Wii™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems offer some fun ways to defy convention.

On the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, <em>Rytmik</em> lets you create your own musical compositions, while <em>G.G Series NINJA KARAKURI DEN</em> lets you play by your own rules as a stealthy ninja. If there&#8217;s one rule you shouldn&#8217;t break while using Nintendo systems, it&#8217;s this one: Have a blast!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From tidying up the galaxy to trying out life as a meerkat, this week&#8217;s new game downloads from Nintendo offer a wealth of wonderfully unusual activities. For the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, <em>Flametail™</em>invites players to incinerate all manner of space garbage, while <em>Don&#8217;t Cross The Line </em>puts timeless puzzle-solving thrills in the palms of their hands. Also, Nintendo DSiWare users have just a few more days to download the hilarious hand-held battle game <em>Photo Dojo™</em> for zero Nintendo DSi Points™.

Meanwhile, fresh additions to the WiiWare™ service include the new fishing-simulation sequel<em> Reel Fishing® Challenge II</em> and the furry fun of <em>Lead the Meerkats™</em>.<br />
<span id="more-1087"></span><br />
A new week also brings a new addition to the &#8220;Big Name Games&#8221; section of the <em>WarioWare™: D.I.Y. </em>series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry&#8217;s most talented figures. <em>Nintendo Power™ </em>magazine staffer Chris Hoffman is the creator of this week&#8217;s featured game, <em>Power Surge</em>, which asks players to locate and match various Nintendo Power staffers. New &#8220;Big Name Games&#8221; will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either <em>WarioWare: D.I.Y. f</em>or the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or <em>WarioWare: D.I.Y.

Be careful not to work yourself into a dead end, and don&#8217;t let the hazard line that follows you catch up to your tail or reach any leftover garbage. Luckily, you can find useful items (such as bombs or score multipliers) along your path and earn special power-ups (like radar or a missile) by collecting letter panels to spell particular words. Effectively burn up the floating garbage in the game&#8217;s two modes &#8211; Space Tour and Time Limit &#8211; and earn new graphics and other surprises as you progress.
