Nancy is Maid of Honor at a wedding in a old spooky castle … but where’s the groom? Is he pranking? Is he kidnapped? Or did the banshee get him? Check out WhatTheyPlay for the content review and know that this game has my highest recommendation for girls AND boys. Best for 10 and up.
GD Keynote November 4th GLLS08

We’re back! 4 surprisingly warm days in Chicago in an executive suite (got a deal, yay Orbitz), a couples massage, several fine bottles of wine accompanying several excellent meals and we saw a Second City show (that’s the improv troop that most of the classic SNL stars came from). Ah, what a great 10th anniversary with the woman I’m still mad for. Then it was off to Oak Brook to talk to some librarians. How’d it go? Fantastic. Libraries aren’t fond of censorship and they’ve been lending movies and music for long enough that they don’t fear games.

Politics at GamerDad are never simple. On the Right, you have the Cultural Conservatives, the “Moral Majority” (evangelicals and other people who want to impose “morality” on a society they see as slipping downward).

Both ban videogames for the same reason – violence – differing only in how much language doesn’t bother one side and how much sex does the other. Because of this, I serve both sides and don’t want to alienate either. But Tuesday is important and I have something to say about Barack Obama.

While a bad E3 demo and toy-like gameplay have plagued Wii Music’s reputation, the former band geek in me still wanted to try it. And plus, despite what they all said, I still had fun with it at PAX. So how is it? Read on to find out:
