Over the summer I bought Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion on 3DS and wrote a blog about it. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the game very much. What a difference a few months and a bigger console makes because the “XL” version of the same game is VASTLY improved over the original. It may not be the perfect Smash Bros. clone, but is good for tiding over until the next big game, and should please fans of Cartoon Network’s animated programs (360 version reviewed here).

Beyblade is a popular line of toys geared toward boys that puts a new spin (pun intended) on a classic plaything: tops. Players put two tops in a ‘battle arena’ and let them spin and bash each other. Whoever’s top spins the longest and doesn’t get knocked out wins. The toy line is so famous that it has spawned a long-running cartoon series and several video games. And you can play the newest one on the Nintendo 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.

When Marvel vs. Capcom 3 first came out, I wrote a couple of blogs about all the characters. One blog for the Capcom side, and one for Marvel. You can go back and read them if you want to. Now that Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom has been released, with 13 new playable fighters, I thought I’d do another blog featuring them!
