Kirby’s Return to Dreamland – GamerBoy’s Take

That hungry puffball is back with yet another innovative game that’s easy to play, but surprisingly deep and rewarding. The game is perfectly safe for any age, but kids under 6 or so will find it difficult. Multiplayer means sharing the challenge and while the game is easy, it’s awfully fun to take control of Kirby, King Dedede, Waddledee and the former bad guy Metaknight.  Henry (8), the GamerBoy, gives us his take!

Power Rangers Samurai (Wii, DS)

When Power Rangers first became popular in the US in the early to mid-90’s, my little brothers were at that perfect age to really get into them. When one of my brothers was going through potty training, we told him that the Blue Ranger uses the potty, and he didn’t have any accidents after that! Another one of my brothers dressed as the Green Ranger for Halloween, but he was so little that the costume swallowed him whole and everyone though he was an elf. He was so angry that nobody knew who he was supposed to be! We rented the Power Rangers SNES game several times, and I think I had nearly every line memorized from that stupid first Power Rangers movie because they watched it so much! Now my brothers are all nearly grown, and I was surprised when I got this new Power Rangers game to review. “The Power Rangers are still around?!?” I thought. Well apparently they are, and now you can join the newest Rangers on an adventure on the Wii and DS.

Now that Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom has been released, with 13 new playable fighters, I thought I’d do another blog featuring them!
