Moshi Monsters is a super popular Web site for kids that lets them take care of their own monsters. I’ve seen tons of commercials and toys for them anyway. Looks kind of like this generation’s version of Neopets. One of the things you can do on the site is have pets for your monsters called Moshlings. Now you can take care of these little guys on the DS with Moshi Monsters: Moshling Zoo.
Game Review: Fate/EXTRA (PSP)
Posted on November 13th, 2011 by
Fate/EXTRA is an RPG based on a popular anime series. Play as a high school student who notices that something is not quite right about the world. You’ll soon discover that reality is fabricated and the virtual world is used as a training ground for a great war. The story is a bit more interesting than that, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

This blog is all that and a bag of chips! Well, actually it’s about a bag of chips. I found out that Doritos made some special Call of Duty snack bags, so I had to take a picture of it to show you all. This will probably be all I talk about regarding Call of Duty, too. Click here to see the chips.

Game Review: BurgerTime World Tour (Xbox LIVE Arcade)
Posted on November 9th, 2011 by
Back in the early 80’s, I was extremely big into Pac-Man (still am, really). But there were a few arcade classics that could lure my quarters away from the Pac temporarily. BurgerTime was one of those games. Now a new generation can enjoy making giant sized burgers with BurgerTime World Tour on Xbox LIVE.

2nd Opinion – Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure
Posted on November 7th, 2011 by
Following on the footsteps of Cary’s excellent Skylander post, I thought I’d throw in my $0.02 of what I (and my pre-K sons) thought of the game as well as some more details on how the collectible figurines work within the game. Do you need to collect all 30-odd characters? No, but gamers who want to fully explore every nook and cranny of each level will want access to at least one character of each of the 8 elemental types. Cary summed up the game nicely by comparing it to a kid-friendly version of Gauntlet. While the game doesn’t have a lot of depth, the combination of colorful figures, gadgetry, and level design results in a very fun game for kids (or gaming with kids) that may be of interest to hard core gamers.
