Happy Father’s Day! And so, in honor of that, this article is all about my dad’s favorite video games. Now, if you asked him directly which video games he likes, he probably wouldn’t say too much. As the family grows and changes and new commitments arise, my dad is just too busy to try and remember all the games he’s enjoyed playing in the past. Luckily, I have a pretty good memory and I know which games he likes. So I guess I should rephrase and say that this article is all about the games I REMEMBER my dad playing and enjoying! Have fun!
Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream is an upcoming fishing game on the Wii from Natsume, and Gaming With Children was able to interview one of the developers! 
After a rough storm destroys the local stray dog shelter, town newcomer Monty Muzzle sets up a fundraiser fair and offers to raise enough money to build another kennel. But things aren’t as they seem and Monty Muzzle is up to no good. It’s up to Wallace and Gromit to stop Monty and rescue Gromit’s canine friends!
Starfy is a pretty legendary Nintendo video game character in Japan, appearing in several games over there since the Game Boy Advance. It must’ve taken the little starfish a long time to swim across the Pacific, but now he’s finally available in the US! In The Legendary Starfy, a mysterious rabbit creature wearing a spacesuit crashes through Starfy’s castle in the sky, and the space bunny’s being chased by some shadowy goons. It’s up to Starfy, his clam friend Moe, and little sister Starly to help their new friend and save the day!
In honor of Father’s Day, in the month of June on my blogs I’m going to be talking about some of my dad’s favorite video games! One of the games he’s been known to play and enjoy is the Breakout clone Arkanoid. So, because of that AND the fact that Arkanoid Live was recently released on Xbox 360, here’s a blog featuring everything I know about the Arkanoid series!
It’s the beginning of summer, and kids across the country will soon be sent to all manner of summer camps. But the one big summer excursion that many kids dream of attending is Space Camp. However, it’s pretty expensive to go, so only a lucky few kids actually get the chance. But now, aspiring young astronauts can enjoy the fun of Space Camp right in their own living room with the Space Camp video game for Nintendo Wii.
Well, the big video game convention, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 for short), is finally over. I didn’t attend this year’s show, but I read enough news about it that I decided to write a blog about the things at the show that caught my interest. Of course, since my tastes in games are a little out there, I won’t be going over a lot of the big titles shown. Just the ones I like.
Just a hodgepodge blog this week, folks. Thought I’d share with you some of my recent gaming endeavors like going to the arcade auction, playing unusual games like My World, My Way, downloading gems such as PictoBits and Bubble Bobble Plus, as well as some other random junk I can think up!
Have you ever been to a restaurant or bar and seen a little gaming machine on the corner where people could use the touch screen to play simple games? Chances are that was a Touchmaster arcade machine, and they’re made by Midway. Midway’s made a couple of these Touchmaster collections on the DS, and recently I snagged the sequel for 20 bucks since I like to collect arcade compilations. And as I tend to do with these things, here’s a blog briefly detailing the games included in Touchmaster 2.
In honor of the Klonoa remake being recently released for the Wii, I figured I’d write a blog detailing all the games in the Klonoa series, and my personal experiences with them. Those who’ve known me for a while know I’m a huge fan of the Klonoa games. It’s pretty easy to tell, really. Back when I used to visit more message boards, my on screen ‘name’ was always Klonoa. Even now, my Xbox Live GamerTag name is Klonoa360! The Klonoa series just really match my gaming tastes and personality. So come along and let’s take a tour of the land of dreams!
