Let’s get right down to business here. In honor of Mario Kart Wii being released this week, here’s a blog dedicated to all things Mario Kart. We’ll start with a brief rundown of all the other Mario Kart titles and my personal experiences with them, look at my favorite of the Mario Kart wannabes, and end with my first impressions of the new Wii game. Start your engines, and let’s go!
Why Kids Want to Play God of War
Posted on April 19th, 2008 by
Have you heard about God of War? Well, if you’re a parent - you should have. The game sets new benchmarks for both “Intense Violence” and “Sexual Situations” - and the ESRB descriptors don’t stop there! But guess why your teen really wants to play it more…
Review - Sam & Max Episode 204: Chariots of the Dogs (PC)
Posted on April 14th, 2008 by
Can it possibly be true that we have passed the half-way point in the second season of Sam & Max? Indeed, it is true - with the completion of this episode there is only one more episode to go until we reach the conclusion of Season Two. And what a season it has been! Telltale has managed to outdo themselves at every turn, mixing up the equation of what worked in Season One without compromising the quality of characters, writing or humor at all. Now we have reached the fourth episode - Chariots of the Dogs - and the same amazing pace of hilarity continues without any sign of slowing!
Tron! - Memory Lane

Enter the game grid and… reminisce!If you’re of a certain age–and if you’re a geek–Tron changed your life. Rarely has a fantasy been so fascinatingly realized as the day-glo game grid of Tron. What a movie! What an extravaganza! What a geek-raised-on-BASIC’s dream come true! Do computer game geeks dream of electric sheep? more…

The family that games together - can even do so in the virtual space. GamerDad looks at how Gamer Parents virtually game with children!
Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Gaming (MMORPG), that most social of videogame genres, has been characterized by the image of a solitary gamer sitting in a darkened room. But is this truly the case?
Go! Go! Susumu! Driller No. 1!
Posted on April 5th, 2008 by
In honor of Mr. Driller Online being released on Xbox Live last week, I thought I’d do a tribute blog to all things Driller. Though you may want to skip down to the bottom of this blog first for a quick warning about Mr. Driller Online. Almost didn’t make me want to write a Mr. Driller blog right there, but I still like Mr. Driller so I wrote this anyway.
Sweatin’ Over the Oldies Redux
Posted on March 31st, 2008 by
I wrote an article that was published at GamerDad just over two years ago about getting to play great old games on modern computers. It is as relevant as ever - perhaps more so as you will see - so I decided to update it and bring it here. Most people don’t like having to tweak their computers - they just want them to work. The same is true with games. Yet there are times when you come across a game - or search out a game - that will not run correctly or at all on your computer.
Review - Sam & Max Episode 203: Night of the Raving Dead (PC)
Posted on March 28th, 2008 by
Season Two of Sam & Max just keeps thundering on - the first episode was an absolute blast, the second was short disjointed and brilliant, and the laughs and crazy fun continue in the third episode. Sam & Max saved the world from destruction once again in the previous episode, so what is up this time? An evil villain bent on taking over the world, of course. In one of the most hilarious episodes yet, watch Sam & Max travel to uncharted territory as they face the Night of the Raving Dead!

The Brawl Blog
Posted on March 25th, 2008 by
Right now I’m playing the heck out of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so I felt compelled to write something about it. This really isn’t a review, per se, just a bunch of random opinions of mine about the game. OK, so maybe it is a review, I don’t know. And I guess I should say there will be spoilers in this blog, too.
