*Update*
This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by! The winner is Carolyn S. Congratulations!
Up until recently, I had thought of video games as a childhood past time. I attended BlogHer in July and was able to demo some of Nintendo’s newest games. I liked them so much that I’m even considering the possibility of having a system in our house. One of the games I think would be so fun and relaxing is the all new Zenses games! These games are geared specifically for women! And..they are stress-free! I promise!
Here is a little more about the games from the site:
Zenses, active relaxation and the perfect “me time” companion, allows the player to transcend the stresses of everyday life, unplug and experience an “active escape.” Zenses, with Zenses Ocean and Zenses Rainforest as its first two titles, will be a series of games targeting women 25 years and older – one of the newest and fastest growing segments of the videogames industry. With a clean, fresh and stylish look and a soundtrack that complements the calm and relaxing atmosphere, Zenses offers the modern woman a brand new and fresh experience.
There are two editions, Ocean and Rainforest and I love that you can escape the stress of daily life while challenging your mind, body and spirit through relaxing puzzle games, soothing ambient sounds, and authentic rainforest and oceanic visuals. One very cool feature is that you don’t have to press a single key…simply use the stylus.
Both the Ocean and Rainforest Zenses games for Nintendo DS retail for $29.99 each and are available now.
Win It! One very lucky reader will win a copy of both the Ocean and Rainforest versions of Zenses. Simply head on over to the site and take a little time to explore each.

I would love to win this. I like both rainforest and ocean, I guess the highkights of both would be, besides the stress free games, is the music! Like the website says, Rainforest evokes images of “rain drops, exotic flowers, waterfalls and giant trees” while Ocean is inspired by “rippling water, riffs and corals….” etc.
Difficult to choose! But if I had to it would be ocean!
favorite features are the music and the puzzles to think on
The soundscapes would be so awesome to listen to.
The calming music.
I like the relaxing music
My favorite features are the beautiful graphics and soundtrack.
I grew up near the ocean and look forward to listening to the ocean on this game and having memories of home.
I love the puzzles and the fact that the games are geared for women.
I love the idea of ambient sounds with the the rain drops in the games.
I love ‘smart’ games. And I like that it is portable.
I love the thought of having them both. I am a very busy and stressed out woman who recently had two major back surgeries and am recooperating. The tranquil sound effects are something I love to listen to and find very relaxing. the puzzles games on Zenses ocean would work well to keep my mind sharp during this time. My grandson is getting a new Ds and giving me his current one. To be able to utilize the DS with these products would be wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to consider my comment and offering this generous give away!!!

It’s the sounds which do it for me, as well. I also like that it’s a stylus game. I feel like I have more control that way. Not that I’m a control freak or anything. Yeah.

I like that I should be able to pick it up and put it down without ever losing my place, when reality intrudes into fragments of “me-time”…
I like puzzles. I find they reboot my brain. I like the fact of a relaxing sound also instead of some of the annoying stuff they put with games that make you want to scream and press the mute button.
The puzzle game looks great
The ability to calm my nerves, soothe my soul and relax me are great features. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
I like that Zenses challenges your mind, body and spirit through their relaxing games, sounds, and visuals of our earth’s natural wonders and pure beauty.
It is like taking a spa day with you in your handbag as you can play at any time as the games last only 3 minutes to 3 hours.
I have done quite a bit of reading on the Zenses games, they both sound like something I would highly enjoy….and very much highly need!
While sitting here typing out my blog post to you I have the Zenses website loaded on another page, I am listening to the sounds and I do have to admit, it is relaxing.
Thank you for the chance to win, I cross my fingers I win but if not then there will be another happy…and relaxed!….person on this earth. What a great giveaway.
Thank you and Happy New Year Rockin Mama
Being able to use the stylus for everything should mean I can do this without needing the lights on to see the keys. Very cool!!
I like the fact that you can challenge you mind and relax and unwind at the same time. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I love the music
Puzzles and relaxation…doesn’t get any better then that!
I love the relaxing sound effects. I can’t wait to play these.
My favorite feature is that I don’t have to worry about playing a whole game. I can just play for a few minutes whenever I find the time.
I’d like the soothing sounds from the rainforest
I really like puzzle games and I liked the addition of the soothing sounds.
The fact that they say you can play for 3 minutes or 3 hours is appealing too!

Great games! I LOVED the music! I was listening to it as I surfed the site and I love the fact that it is relaxing and pretty, not like the annoying music of my kids’ games! I also am intrigued by the fact that the games are inspired by the movements of the tides, etc. I would love to see that in effect! Great giveaway – thanks for offering it!

Relaxation
I love the ambient sounds!
There are so many great features about this game that is geared towards women, but I have to admit – my favourite part is the music! I really need to escape the world around me and the music helps – it transports me to place of relaxation. Its sounds like music that encourages fantasies of other worlds….a relaxing world on an island…where anything is possible and magic exists.
For the rainforest version I like that games are a feature… and games with nice, high quality visuals are definitely a plus! For the ocean version, I like that the game is actually inspired by the mellow and soothing aspects of the ocean… it sounds so relaxing!
