Cary’s Top Five Least Favorite Pac-Man Games

Pac Man AtariI like Pac-Man a lot, so it would probably be hard for me to list my five favorite Pac games. Though games like Super Pac-Man, Pac-Man Arrangement, Pac-Man: Championship Edition, Pac-Mania, and Pac-Pix would probably be good contenders. But even though I’m a big Pac-Man fan, I’ll admit that some Pac games are REALLY bad. So for this list, here are my five least favorite Pac-Man games.

Review: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney–with BONUS!

APOLLO BOXVideo games allow us to try out all sorts of occupations.  A brave explorer, a criminal, master surgeon, or princess-saving plumber.  But only one game series lets you be a…lawyer?  The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has delighted Nintendo DS gamers with three great titles.  Now for the fourth game, there’s a new attorney in town.  Can Apollo Justice prove that he’s got the Wright stuff?

Snow Bunny

It’s very unusual for it to snow where I live in Texas, much less snow in the beginning of March!  So when it snowed today, right after I put up our yard Easter decoration, I had to take a picture.  Click this blog to see a surreal snapshot!

Dishwashers, Little Gamers, and JellyCars!

JELLYCARLast week, Xbox Live introduced a new feature (and if it’s not really new, it’s still new to me), called XNA Community. With XNA, people from all over can make little games and send them to Microsoft. And some of them they’ll put up as demos and maybe full games for everyone to play on Xbox Live! Now, I’m not exactly sure how the game making process of XNA works. I’ve been a gamer all my life, but I’ve no interest in making games myself. I’d rather just play them. But I do know you can now download seven new XNA demo games on Xbox Live right now! I figured I’d make a little blog about them. Now, keep in mind that these are demos of games that are works in progress, so anything negative I say about them isn’t really a bad thing. Just some things that might help improve the full copy of the game if it ever came to that.

Think Pink!

KIRBYIn honor of Kirby 64 coming to the Wii Virtual Console this week, I thought I’d repost a tribute blog to the pink puff. Kirby is one of my favorite Nintendo characters, but he and his games are oft ignored, I think.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Have you hugged your companion cube today?

CUBEValentine’s Day is when you let the people you care about know that you really appreciate them (shouldn’t that be everyday?).  One way to show appreciation is to give gifts.  Well my Valentine’s Day gift to all of you readers is a fun blog to read.  It’s a lot less expensive than flowers and much less calories than chocolate, too.

I was strolling through Furu Furu Park one day…

FURUFuru Furu Park is a collection of mini-games on the Wii. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. “Like the Wii NEEDS yet another collection of mini-games.” Well there’s two things about Furu Furu Park that make it stand out. One, most of the mini-games are based on classic arcade Taito titles, which give it some familiar charm. The other reason why Furu Furu Park is special is that it’s only 20 bucks. For the price, it’s pretty enjoyable. It’s certainly better than the Nintendo DS game that Furu Furu Park is based on. There was a collection of Taito mini-games on the DS called Turn it Around that used the touch screen like a ‘dial’ you turned around with the stylus. But in Furu Furu Park, you use the Wii remote in different ways to play the games. So here’s a rundown on all the games on Furu Furu Park.
