Two classic games: the arcade favorite Donkey Kong and the tried and true challenge of Jenga. You wouldn’t think at first that they would go together, but they actually do if you think about it. Donkey Kong is all about maneuvering through a teetering construction tower, and Jenga requires you make your wobbly tower as high as you can. So now you can do both in Donkey Kong Jenga. How high can you get?

The recently released Mario Sports Mix for Wii is a collection of four arcade styled party Mario themed sports games. So in this blog, we’ll take a look at each one. Don’t think of this as a full review, though. Just my general first impressions of the game. I’m so busy right now with other things I don’t have time for a full review, but this’ll do for now, I think.

BRRR! It was cold here last week in Dallas, with ice and snow and record cold temperatures! It kind of sucked because I don’t like cold weather, and because of the icy roads I had to take two days off from work (they wouldn’t give PTO to us where I work). But what really sucked was the Super Bowl was in Dallas, and was to bring all sorts of guests and business to our community. But the bad weather probably hindered that. Another thing that sucks is that the Super Bowl was right near where I live, but the tickets are so stupid expensive that a normal person could never afford to go. But there is one good thing about staying at home and watching the Super Bowl: you get to see all the funny commercials. Since I like commercials, here’s a blog all about the ads at this year’s Super Bowl!

The popular Kingdom Hearts game series combines Square-Enix’s beloved game characters and style mixed with timeless Disney characters and worlds. Re:coded takes place after Sora’s adventures with Donald and Goofy from Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Jiminy Cricket is thumbing through the journals he wrote during their adventures, and notices a strange message that he didn’t write! King Mickey decides to digitize the journal into a computer and see if they can analyze how that message got there! But all of a sudden, strange bugs and blocks fill the screen, and they don’t look friendly. King Mickey sends a digital version of Kingdom Hearts hero Sora into the virtual journal to see if he can figure out what’s going on. Now it’s up to Data Sora to stop the bugs and solve the mystery of the secret messages!

Just kind of a hodgepodge blog this week, folks. Can’t really think of anything else to write, and game reviews are a little slow lately. So I’ll just take this time to give everyone my Valentine’s Day wishes and give you all a little preview of what kinds of blogs you can expect from me in February.

Fads come and go, but sometimes they become video games along the way. One fad that is popular with kids nowadays are these little rubber band toys called “Silly Bandz” (and various off-brand knock-offs). They are rubber bands that fit around your wrist and can snap back into a silhouette shape. They’re collectable, tradable, and inexpensive, and that’s why they’re so popular. So how on earth did they make a video game out of this? You’ll just have to read on to find out.

Have you ever had an idea that you thought was a good one, but you lacked the know-how, materials, and time to pull it off? But you wanted to try and make your idea happen anyway? Well that’s what this blog is all about. You may have seen videos or blogs of people ‘unboxing’ a new console or special edition game bundle where they show you what’s inside. I thought this was a dumb idea at first, until I was awaiting my copy of the special edition of Ys Seven and wanted to know what was in it. I thought I would give unboxing a try myself someday. Except instead of putting me in the action, I thought it would be fun to have it star a puppet! Everything’s better with puppets, right? And that’s how “Boxer the Unboxer” was born! Now here’s Boxer’s debut as he unboxes the Little Big Planet 2 Collector’s Edition!
